What happened to the story of him being decorated for turning his boat around, under fire, to pick up some guy who had fallen overboard?

I've never heard that one. Maybe it's "urban legand" ala Kennedy's PT109 manufactured story.

Apparently that noted liberal historian Brinkley, of New Orleans, put it in his book about the "HERO".

I heard the "saved" one claim that he was in Southern California, happened to be in a book store, happened to see the book by Brinkley and turned to the page that told his story and made contact with the JFKERRY campaign.

Brinkley's book is the only place where I have heard about this event.
