In Memory of USS South Dakota(BB-57)"Battleship X"

[16theatregirl]

My great grandfather, Ray Kanoff, who was a pharmacists mate who became chief petty officer in the hospital corps, actually helped put together this memorial, put together a book about the ship and her sailors, and was even made executive director, which meant that he was in charge of all of the renunions until his deah in 1995, when I was only a few months old. God rest his soul.
