Gene Schindler of the Asiatic Fleet goes through a litany of stories from patching up the Paul Jones with parts of the abandoned and scuttled Stewart (See the book "Playing for Time" Alford - Amazon) and then how he got to the Western Pacific to start with on the USS Houston - CA-30 - (see www.usshouston.org and the book "Ship of Ghosts" by Hornfischer). He left the cruiser and Then he got assigned to radio school at Cavite. He went awol - got sick -got kicked out of radio school DECEMBER 5, 1941 -- and was sent back to his current ship (Paul Jones). Thus he lived as nearly all the radio students were killed in the invasion or as POWs.
