"He who knows not from whence he came, knows not where he
goes."
"...the Navy knew there were submarines in the area but
never told McVay and sent the ship to sea unescorted ...
Worse, the Navy failed to notice that the cruiser had never
arrived at port, while hundreds died at sea."

The year, 2000, a group of school children were able to
clear the name of Captain McVay, Captain of the USS
Indianapolis. He'd taken the rap for the drowning of his
men, and suffered abuse from survivors. The rap wasn't his,
and in 1968, he committed suicide.
It's good to know even 1/2 century later the government will
sometimes tell the truth.
The "Hero" who emerged from the USS Indianapolis event was
named W. Graham Claytor, captain of the rescue ship. Later
he and his brother Robert would be railroad tycoons and
instrumental in the merger of two huge railroads, Norfolk
and Western and Southern, forming Norfolk Southern
Corporation. Norfolk Southern's new logo would be
"Thoroughbred," possibly for the well-known breed of
Kentucky race horses.
Claytor was also involved in the US Navy Record questions
regarding John Kerry, and he was also an attorney for the
Baseball League in NYC for Commissioner, Happy Chandler,
former governor of Kentucky.
American dynasty family stories.
The Claytor brothers were from an affluent family near my
hometown of Roanoke, a lake named "Claytor" surely was named
for their successful father.
Since my late Dad was also US NAVY, I've been trying to put
pieces together which might unravel reasons I've suffered so
exceedingly, lost a son, found myself in several jails, and
the railroad has been involved.
Was my Dad murdered and is someone hoping I'll discontinue
my search for truth?
I feel if I could get the truth, since his death occured the
last day of the Cuban missile Crisis and he was actively
serving as a pilot and reservist, it could open a case which
could reexamine many deaths which occurred during that era,
including USN, Kennedy's - several of my USN Uncles and
Dad's best fiend.
Mr. Greg Szymanski interviewed last December, in two hours I
told the story in a short period, two sessions. Some of us
know what's going on, and those of us who realize it, are
suffering incredibly, living in fear, while trying to fight
the good fight.
We have to piece the history puzzle but first get the truth,
which in many instances, for the sake of greed and power,
lies, investments and coverup, has yet to be told. That's
where the battle begins.
