    1941 to 1945 Allen Frank Price – Pacific Theater Sailor Serving from the first day to the last day Second Edition . The Allen Price Story . This history is dedicated to Allen Frank Price who served his country, God, and mankind during World War II, and who continues to serve, even now. For a copy of this history, contact Wynn C.

The Allen Price Story . 1941 - Logan, Utah The reason I joined the Navy was to get away from home. More specifically, I needed to get away from my mother. Not that I blame her too much for the situation. My mother, Myrtle (Pierce) Price was a product of her mother, Julia (Winn) Pierce. The Pierce family worked for every penny and pinched every penny till it squealed. All kids in the family hustled laundry, odd-jobs, sewing, and anything else they could to earn money. All earned money was then handed over to the parents. With my mother being brought up in that environment, she expected the same participation by me. I was a dutiful son, but it was chafing. With me turning seventeen in January, war in Europe ever spreading, the military in Logan recruiting, and my senior year at Logan High School coming to an end, the time was right to make my move. In addition to the timing, I can still remember a challenge my mother often made as disagreements would crop up in our house, “If you can find a place that will treat you better than we do then you may leave anytime.” Well, this looked like “anytime”.
