Dr.Ott was Norwalk's Vetenarian for

almost 50 years, and Dr.Ott was one of the 12,000 American service personnel forced to march 60 miles under a blazing sun, tropical heat and oppressive humidity from the island of Luzon's Bataan Peninsula to a prisoner-of-war camp. It was a march of atrocity that Dr.Ott survived called the Bataan Death March.Dr.Ott also loved Ice Cream! -The City of Norwalk should honor this excellent citizen.
