[Homer_J_Simpson]

My mother’s first cousin, Powell, was on the Squalus.

I see him on the list of the rescued from yesterday's post: Powell, Charles A., radioman, second class, of Leesville, La.

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

He gave his life in a vital cause. Admiral Nimitz considered the submarine campaign the first cause of the defeat of Japan.

He came up on the last trip with the captain.

Came home on leave and made the local papers and went back and died in the pacific ocean.

He was apparently a fine man.
