Our family dinners in the late 1950’S were always full of conversation.\u00a0 One evening my son Dave, asked, “Dad did you ever see any real fighting in the war?\u00a0“No, the armistice was signed by the time I shipped out. “A de jested\u00a0 look came over Dave’s face.\u00a0 The kids at school had been sharing their fathers’ war stories.\u00a0 Didn’t I have any to tell?<\/p>\n

I did come close to dying once. ” I said, aboard \u00a0the USS\u00a0 St. Croix..”<\/p>\n

The crane arm went up and down on a pair of large wheels fitted into a track.\u00a0 I sat between the two wheels, 60 feet above the water.<\/p>\n

The wheels turned.\u00a0 Someone was lowering a boat!\u00a0 I threw my scraper\u00a0 overboard but I was pinned in, slowly being crushed. “Shut it off:.. I shouted.\u00a0 No one heard.\u00a0 “A steel plate starred at\u00a0me in the face: CHICAGO IRON WORKS, WEIGHT 25 TONS. I prayed to pass out before I felt the pain.<\/p>\n

A sailor ran to shut off the Welin Davit.\u00a0 The wheels lurched to a stop.\u00a0 Others arrived to pull me out.\u00a0 I had cuts on my legs and was covered in blood and grease; \u00a0“Wow,” David said. ” I bet you\u00a0\u00a0sure thanked that Sailor\u00a0 “That was the strange\u00a0\u00a0thing.”\u00a0 I said “There weren’t that many of us.\u00a0 I never saw that sailor before, and I never saw him again”.<\/p>\n
