RE: My three favorite songs about boats that I have listened to more than once

Yeah, Cap'n Quint of the USS Indianapolis. A few years back I was sitting in DFW waiting for a flight to Amarillo when I saw this old guy w/ a USS Indianapolis reunion cap on. I waited till we were in AMA and in line to pick up our luggage and went over and introduced myself and asked him about the cap. He said he was retuning from their reunion and handed me his card and said the he was a survivor of the ship. His wife was in a wheelchair so I asked if I could help with their luggage or anything; he said no, we're just fine. The man's name is Cleatus Lebow, Memphis, Texas, his card read "USS Indianapolis, Still At Sea". I have the card taped to Old School's ship log. Pretty cool.
