Here's a 1936 newspaper clipping of my uncle. It would've been a year before the USS Macon disaster. At this time he was stationed in San Pedro California. At least that puts him in close proximity during that timeframe.

There is your connection. The USS Colorado was part of the rescue search for survivors of the Macon:
