Hi Pam!
I'm just starting to dig into my fathers Naval past. His name was Arther Donald Cornelisse but he went by "Bud". He was a survivor of the sinking of the Quincy. He was injured and lost a kidney and he too didn't speak much about that day. He passes away in 1980 from kidney failure. Any pictures or information you have would be great!
Pam, is it possible for me to see the picture?
I, too, think of the Quincy when I see the Titanic standing straight up, since that is how my father described it before it slid down.
My father was on the Quincy from the time she was commissioned until she was sunk. He never talked about the war, and he died in 1982. I'd love to see that picture.
