I am new to this forum.  My father, Charles Thomas Meyer was an Indianapolis survivor.  He passed away in 1971.  He would never talk about his experience on the Indianapolis, so i never learned anything about it from him.  As I've grown older, I want to learn more about the tragedy.  I suspect there are not many survivors still alive.  Still, my hope is that I can find someone that may remember him.  He was from Marlin, Texas and from what i understand he was a cook on the ship.  Any information would be appreciated.  At the very least, I wil be taking a great interest in this forum to learn as much as I can.
