James T. Morin

The photo and following article is taken from The Philadelphia Daily News, special supplement entitled 'SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY,' October 26, 1987.

Coaches at Mastbaum High School remember Morin as an athlete who made up for his relatively small size with hard work and enthusiasm. While attending Mastbaum, Morin played football and ran track. He graduated in 1968, and planned to open a tool and machine shop in his hometown after completing military service. Morin enlisted in the Army in November 1968. The specialist five, a helicopter gunner with the 243rd Assault Helicopter Company, died in Vietnam on October 2, 1970, shortly before completing his tour of duty. He was survived by his parents, a brother and sister.
