LtCdr Newcomb was lost at sea, on the Underhill.


Stand by to ram,” the order from the captain on that July 24, 1945, afternoon, are words never to be forgotten by the surviving crew members of the destroyer escort who had identified kaitens, Japanese midget submarines in the waters.

It was good having you around. You saw things in the ads that thick-headed men overlook.

Somewhere I seem to remember seeing you intended to run into, wasn't it November, 1945?

It was always my understanding that he really wanted to go back a litle farther in NYT archives and do the American Civil War.

Henkster, as far as I’m concerned, your contributions to this wonderful project were more like those of a professor than a student. Thank you.

It does say on the syllabus that this was a post-graduate course.

I’m not a snappy dresser, myself, but I recognize class when I see it.

Oh, thanks. You know, if I would re-do my life, I would have learned Russian as well as German, and been a real history professor. My life’s work would have been to write the complete history of the Russo-German war from both sources.

But I went to law school instead, and David Glantz did the historical job much better than I would have. And I’m not PC enough to have gotten tenure anyway.

I feel like I have been living in BBC’s Goodnight Sweetheart these past six years!

My desire is similar except it is focused on methodically translating and publishing the mountains of Nazi era publications detailing the paganism of the political religion called National Socialism so that no future Leftist historian, or documentary producers are able to ask in feigned bewilderment Why?

Nazism destroyed Christian Germany. A young man and his wife are headed to Germany as missionaries...because it is the most atheist country in Europe.

A young man and wife who are from a family very close friends of ours.

Sorry, it's getting late.
