Just received the news today that Peter Wren, a lieutenant on the rescue ship USS Bassett, passed away on September 19, 2014. He was a passionate and dynamic speaker when he told the story of their heroic rescue mission. He authored 2 books...Those In Peril On The Sea and We Were There: The USS Indianapolis Tragedy. He has a special place in my heart, as he rescued my dad from the water. Rest in Peace Mr Wren. A life well lived.
