Garandomatic Posted September 5, 2020 Share #5 Posted September 5, 2020 Did you see that Jim Jarvis passed June 6? I was thinking of him (one of the highlights of my life was meeting him) and damned if there wasn't a news clip about him going back to his shipmates. Dammit anyway.

Yes, I saw that and I posted about his passing. Jim was a super nice guy. I have been to three of the survivor reunions and got to know him a little bit. The USS Indianapolis has a facebook page and they do keep up on what's going on with the remaining survivors. Sad to see these men leaving us at the clip they have been. I am in the process of reading 317 again and am almost done. Jim didn't have a lot to say about the sinking in the Survivor organization book, but he would talk about it at the reunions. I only wish I would have started [didn't know public could go] going to reunions years ago. 8 left now. 7 sailors and 1 marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
