Not until early last year did I realize that I had met someone who had also been on that ship that bright September Day. He never talked about it of course.

The father of childhood friends had observed the devastation of the A-bomb within several months of the drops. I never knew about it until after his death. I remember his talking about WW2 experiences, but never that. Several years before he died, he talked to his children about it.
