A dear friend of mine, Quinn Madsen, God rest his soul, was a chief gunnery petit officer on her. He rarely talked about his experience. He was writing a book about his time, but passed before he finished it. Hated Rice and never forgave . He said he was one of the 77, out of about 750 that lived after the sinking , who lived through the prison camps. I wanted to build a model of her for him, but he passed before I got to it. Thank You for building it. -Hal
