I wish the last couple of generations had had an easier way to document their experiences. I wouldnt have kept a handwritten journal, for a couple of reasons. Plus, the generation before mine was less self-centered. They didnt talk about bad times. I watched Jaws again last night, from right before they went out to kill the shark. I either missed a scene, or it was edited in the 70s version. They were on the ship talking, and Quint (Robert Shaw) talks about the aftermath of a ship sinking during World War II. My grandfather didnt talk about the war, and I guess there were times when I didnt listen, but I remember him describing how he and the other guys who manned the small maintenance boats serviced the battleships. When a big ship went down, the men in the water were essentially shark food.
