I hope he was not too tortured by the memories over the remainder of his life.

Likewise. There is a sidebar about Petty Officer Shirley's planned wedding in yesterday's post.

My mother’s first cousin, Powell, was on the Squalus. He was the radio man. I don’t remember but my sisters remember listening to the radio all day long when the rescue was going on.

He grew up in the same house with Mother and later died in a sub in WWII.

We have the articles when he came home after the rescue.
