In World War II our dad, Jim as he was called, commanded the
submarine Grunion. Early in the war we received a Western Union
telegram stating that the Grunion had not been heard from and was
assumed lost. For 65 years neither the US nor the Japanese had any
idea of what happened. The state of the sub has been on the books
as missing cause unknown for the entire time. Around 1992 we began
an effort to determine what happened. That pursuit has had a stream
of what we call improbables, twists and turns with almost
inconceivable surprises and results, many dealing with things and
events so unusual that they cannot be described with words. That
effort has captured worldwide media attention being on the Today
Show four times one of which won the Edward R Murrow award, an
article in Readers Digest, heavy radio and nightly TV coverage,
several hundred articles in local papers along with coverage in
Japan and Europe. A neighbor put together a DVD on the effort,
which won national honors. A book, Fatal Dive, has been written
about our search. This annotated color photo album helps supplement
the communicative difficulty of describing these unusual and
bizarre events. Neither the book nor the photo supplement tells the
entire story. The supplement, 90 pages and over 200 annotated
photos provides a quick but less than complete understanding while
the book, Fatal Dive explains the rather fascinating details of the
story.
