Wow. Been many years since I last thought about this. I was a kid but I do remember it.
Quoting: Indiana Jones Didn't mean to bring up bad memories, but the story has a kind of bittersweet ending. Thanks for the comment. |

He was a cadet in the Great Lakes Maritime Academy at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. He was doing an internship on the Fitz when it went down. Although I didn’t know him personally, as I was in a different program (electronics), we had classes just down the hall from each other. |
