Daily Intellingencer Journal - May 31, 1968
The 19-year-old son of Mrs. Dorothy M. Miller, Manheim R1, drowned last Saturday in a swimming accident in South Vietnam where he was stationed with the Navy. His birthday would have been Sunday.
Mrs. Miller said she was informed by the U.S. Navy Department that efforts to rescue her son were unsuccessful. She said he and a group were swimming off a pier when he became caught in a swift current and was swept into Binh Thuy Bay.
GOOD SWIMMER
Mrs. Miller said two companions tried to pull him out of the current but were unable to do so. She said her son was a good swimmer.
Sollenberger, a graduate of McCaskey High School, enlisted in the Navy in April, 1966. He received basic training at Great Lakes Naval Training Center.
After completing training, he was stationed aboard the USS Catamount for a nine-month tour of duty in Vietnam.
RETURNS TO VIETNAM
He then returned to the United States for a 30-day leave with his family. After his leave ended, Sollenberger went to Coronado, Calif., for special survival training. He then was assigned to a Naval Support Activity Detachment at Binh Thuy, Vietnam.
In addition to his mother, he is survived by his step-father, James R. Miller; one sister, Linda, and two brothers, Darryl and Brian Sollenberger, all at home.
He also is survived by his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thad M. Ferguson of Quarryville, and paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John M. Sollenberger of Willow Street.
He was a member of the Holy Trinty Luteran Church on S. Duke Street.
