I would like to nominate my wife, Cathy for Subsim Wife of the Year. Here is a list of the books she gave me this morning for Xmas.
The Luck of the Draw-The Memoir of a World War II Submariner From Savo Island to the Silent Service-Captain C. Kenneth Ruiz, USN (Ret.) Find 'Em, Chase 'Em, Sink 'Em-The Mysterious Loss of the WWII Submarine USS Gudgeon-Mike Ostlund Final Patrol-Don Keith The Galloping Ghost- The Extraordinary Life of Submarine Legend Eugene Fluckey-Carl LaVO Nothing Friendly in the Vicinity- My Patrols on the USS Guardfish during WWII-Claude C. Conner War Patrols of the Uss Flasher-The True Story of One of America's Greatest Submarines, Officially Credited with Sinking the Most Japanese Shipping in World War II-William R. McCants Through Hell and Deep Water-Charles A. Lockwood Vice Admiral USN (Ret.) Hans Christian Adamson Colonel USAF (Ret.) Sink Em' All- Charles A. Lockwood Vice Admiral USN (Ret.) U-Boat-Lothar-Gunther Bucheim War Fish-George Grider as told to Lydel Sims Bacalao-J.T.McDaniel She has previously obtained the following at least somewhat hard to find books: Torpedoman-Ron Smith The Rescue-A True Story of Courage & Survival in World War II-Steven Trent Smith Wake of the Wahoo- The Heroic Story of America's Most Daring WWII Submarine, USS Wahoo-Forest J. Sterling I was totally blown away! On top of the 1-2 dozen WWII Sub books I already own I feel like I should start a lending library. In the course of attempting to locate these books she spoke with the author of "War Patrols of the USS Flasher" who is the son of the Flasher's Captain, Thomas R. McCants and even he didn't have any more copies! If I know my wife, she probably paid less than retail list price for most if not all of these. She gives me all the support and Tender(ness) assistance and love that I need. I foresee a frequent nightly Dilemma-do I read a Sub book or fire up Silent Hunter 4? Urge |
