After twenty years of trying to get my story told how I conceptualized the museum idea on a US Navy WWII decommissioned aircraft carrier, which I started in September of 1974. Iuniverse, a self-publishing company finally published my book. Now the truth can be told who is the true and original founder of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.

Since Intrepid has been in the news these past few weeks stuck in the mud, I called The NY Times and Newsday explaining that the screws (props) were supposed to have been removed when Intrepid was in Bayonne, NJ Naval Base dry dock in 1982...who canceled the order to remove the props, I don't know, as I was totally surprised when I learned that the Intrepid was stuck in the mud because of the screws. The Intrepid has to be towed when the high tide comes available in Dec 3/4, because, if it stays at Pier86, it'll wind up similar to the USS Texas, a battleship, if moved the hull will literally fall apart... besides this, it's ashame that the intrepid Foundation has to foot the bill of the $3-million for this inexcusable mistake of not removing the screws when they had the chance.

Please purchase the book and read the true story,you'll be amazed.
