Keith Raffel and the Queen Mary. From Keith: “I could see the ship from my hotel window, the very vessel my dad took home with 16,000 other GI's in the summer of 1945. Dad tells me he had a bunk for eight hours a day with two other soldiers having the same amount of time. Some guys, though, neglected to use their eight hours. They played craps on the deck the whole five days or so across the Atlantic. They had money, were happy to be alive and saw no need for sleep.”
