my father served as a radio man on the bunker hill. he said his nickname on the ship was wheels. I would love to hear from anyone who knew my dad and had some stories for me. It would mean alot to me to communicate with people who knew him and have things to tell me about. email bowliz1@aol.com

This photograph was the cover of the original "Victory at Sea" recording with Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Orchestra in Richard Rodgers score for the TV series. I think my dad bought it the day it landed in the music store
