My uncle Lt. David Allen Jump was aboard the USS Indianapolis when it was torpedoed coming from Tinian. He was asleep in his bunk where the torpedo hit the ship. My family never really recovered from his death. His father, my granddad, committed suicide and my Mother never totally forgave the Navy.

An uncle, my father's youngest brother, worked for Caltech labs at China Lake CA in 1944. He helped develope the A-Bomb. He went to Japan for North American Aviation after the war and was never the same again. The A-bomb took it's toll in my family. I now volunteer at the museum at China Lake and have done much research on the USS Indy and A-bomb. I am greatful that my uncle did not have to endure the days in the water when the Indy was sunk. LM
