Betsy Alexander is the Grosse Pointe War Memorial historical education coordinator and wrote "Hell Gone Mad...Michigan's Men of the USS Indianapolis Disaster". She talks about the secret mission of the USS Indy in WWII, its torpedo sinking, the court martial of its captain and the story of the men who died. Betsy's interest started with a missing bronze plaque and art print of the Indy. She tells host Jim Fausone about where those items were found.....including a find in a loo.
