Foley’s youngest brother, Lt. Edward C. Foley, U.S., Army, who was posted to Guadalcanal for much of the war and whom John visited as often as the Clymer weighed anchor off the island. John supplied his brother with such valuables as steaks, oranges, ice cream, and cigars from the Clymer larder. Edward Foley would graduate from Boston College in 1966.
