My Uncle, Henry Paul "Mac" McCain, was Chief Gunner (so I am told)on the Maryland. He was on board from her commissioning in 1921 until she was decommissioned (He was about to retire at the time of Pearl Harbor). If anyone remembers him I would appreciate any information they may be able to provide. He died in Seattle, WA, in 1975.

Of course that comes with age, I suppose. I was a shipmate of yours and another "Bostonian" by the name of John Taylor. Do you know John? If so I would like his address. We were in the 6b division with Boatswain Mate First Class Lenin. During the PH attack I was the gunner on the 1.1 Machine guns, starboard side, under the bridge. Please contact me as I have many questions for you. I was known by many shipmates as Alley Reynolds, I suppose that is short for Alabama. My Addres is Glenn W.
