Book Reviews of Proudly We Served : The Men of the USS Mason
Book Review: A nice history and of special interest to me
Summary: 5 Stars
My father (Wm.H. Farrell) was one of the officers on the Mason. He was the Engineering officer. When I was a kid, he "regaled" me with stories about the ship and crew. His favorites were the dog that got tossed into the drink off of Newfoundland, the big storm the ship experienced in I believe '44, and the time they were in port in the Azores and woke up to find a German submarine berthed near by to them. He thought very highly of the 1st Captain (Binford?). I think in general, he was pleased with the effort that Mary Kelly gave to this book. It wasn't until I was a teenager that I found out that the crew was black Americans. My father was always interested in the ship first (and especially the engine room!) and never distinquished crew members to me by their color.
