John sent a great note, mentioning that he is always happy to sign autographs, or respond to questions about the USS Indianapolis. He says that he hates seeing his autograph on ebay.
He mentions that originally, there were 317 survivors, but the years have shrunk that number down to 58 living survivors today.
John sent a photo of himself after his rescue.
Just learned about this tragedy while reading about a naturalist from TN who did not survice. I live in KY now. Would like to meet John. We have the exact same taste in music!!
