At this point I am not aware of a direct connection between my family an that of Ensign Hissem. Great web page, my dad got some pictures from the Navy when I told him about the boat, but there are many more I see here. Great web site, it is great to see you guys honor the memory of the service the Hissem rendered over the years.
