The good don't all die young.......
I was checking on my memory surrounding an old friend and came on this article about Ben Hurtig, who I didn't know.....after this was written he died at age 93, March 27.2006. Sounds like a helluva guy.

Stoker John Capes was on a British Submarine on the way back from Malta during WW2 when it hit a mine. He was one of the few recorded instances of escape from a doomed sub. A hellua guy as well.
