I'll bet Kittredge would be a walking Google on the
Squalus.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] The USS Squalus:
Need help finding info
Hello, fellow submarine aficionados!
I am a nonfiction
children's writer with 17 book published including one on submarines.
Now I am writing a book about the Squalus, a submarine which
sank in May, 1939.
As part of my research, I am searching for photos,
news articles, letters, and memorabilia connected to the Squalus. They
may include photos of the wives and families, local news articles of the death
of a sailor, personal letters from crew members to their families and friends,
photos of a favorite bar, photos when the crew were children, etc. This type
of information brings to life the men who served and died on the
Squalus. This personal connection to the crew catches kids' attention
and keeps them reading.
Any and all suggestions, ideas, points, hints,
people to call, libraries to email would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!
Kay
