Best regards, Arthur R. Moore. A one page supplement has also been laid in. In June 1942, Judge Lohm enrolled in the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y. Four months later he was on convoy ships crossing the Atlantic, a treacherous route targeted by Nazi submarines. In the early years of World War II, the Allies nearly lost the war at sea.
