The fact that he’s the sole survivor of Cortez’s World War II veterans is a mystery to Albert Few. “The kids are going to come down from Jacksonville so I expect they’ll plan something,” he said. Albert Few signed up for the military the day after Japanese planes bombed the American fleet in Hawaii on Dec. 7, 1941. As for a career as a commercial fisherman, “My dad was a fisherman and I went out with him a couple of times, but I wasn’t interested,” Few said. “If it didn’t have wings, I wasn’t interested in it.”
