Okay, none of you are going to like this, but you will get over it. LOL! What this former officer did was wrong, dead wrong. So what, he did not receive a jail sentence but lost his job and means in which to earn a living during a DEPRESSION which can be just as fierce as a prison sentence. No job no income and chances are he will lose everything.

I just happened to come across this site. My brother, Rupert W. Walton went down with this ship, after sustaining burns and sent to sick bay. I don't blame anyone, as fighting of every type in those days was ancient, compared to now. But I would LOVE to connect with anyone, including the captain of the Chicago, if anyone is still living. Thank you!
