Message: [QUOTE="Robert J. McDonnell, post: 284539, member: 197796"] Dear Joe: You're right, of course. I checked the link, still displayed on search engines, but it simply is not there. Many other links concerning PTSD can be found using "Excite" search engine. (I'll have to fix the page!) Just a few remarks from here regarding PTSD. One of my great sources is a psychiatrist, whose grandfather wrote a most eloquent account of his experience during the fire and while in the water. His grandson says, however, that whenever any TV show, or newspaper article appeared concerning the Morro Castle, his grandfather turned it off or, in the case of newspapers, threw them out. Outright PTSD, according to the grandson. Of course, the individual's personality comes into play as well, as does guilt for having survived an incident, when others did not. Those involved in the rescue effort are not immune, either. I think, regarding your researching, that the foremost factor is Depression (like you did not know this, right?) As for the Ward Line? It was part of a "Deceptive Corporate Network," according to a Congressional Report. Yes, there was a stabbing aboard a few years before the fire. Drug smuggling...you name it, it was there. As for when the book will be out, I am putting no date on that for many reasons. As my mother often said, "When the fruit it ripe; it will drop from the tree!" There are many reasons for this philosophy, Joe. Please don't interrupt it as my being curt. There is one roadblock, that varies from day-to-day, but everything happens for a reason. I thank you and all the others for your interest in the Morro Castle--"the safest ship afloat!" Sincerely, Bob [/QUOTE]
