Georgios P. Logothetis served in the Greek Army as an artillery man between 1938 and 1940, and he was called to serve upon the general mobilization in October 1940. His artillery unit backed the Greek fighters in the mountains of Pindos, driving back the Italian Army into the Albanian countryside. He lost his hearing in one ear when a bomb exploded next to him. He was buried until his Greek soldier friends were able to remove the ground and free him. Logothetis immigrated to the United States in 1966 with his family and became a proud American citizen in 1975. He is the father of Jim Logothetis.
