Lona Marie (nee Attfield) Manning survived sinking of Athenia February 20, 2009 Let me introduce you to my wife, another survivor from the sinking of TSS Athenia on Sept. 3,1939. Lona Marie (nee Attfield) Manning, was a mere lass of 19 back then but is now 89 years young. Her memory today leaves must to be desired but is sharp as a tack when it comes to that fateful night. Lona was returning to her home in Victoria B.C. We have extensive news paper articles and other memorabilia that we would like to share with those who might be interested. Also we would be interested in hearing from other survivors. Looking forward to hearing from you. Lona Manning and Richard Manning
