This is Lee Habib Mrs. L American stories we tell stories about everything here on the shelf in regards to sports and from business to history and everything in between putting your story. Send them our American stories.com. Some of our favorite in this next story was the story of Frank Breyer. The tragedy of the British transport ship, Rona 1943 despite being the largest loss of US troops at sea due to enemy action in a single incident. The full details of the attack were released until 1967 ears, Prof. of political science at Grove city College Paul Kilgore tell the rest of the story, any veteran of World War II can tell you stories but for Frank Breyer's story, one he could never forget was a terrible began the moment his ship called the Rona was sunk in that ship went down on November 26, 1943 Frank's life changed forever. And very few people beyond the man tossed into the sea ever knew what the HMT. Rona was an 8600 ton British troop ship carrying mostly in American route to the far east theater. It went down the day after Thanksgiving in the Mediterranean off the coast of North Africa, the victim of a German missile. It was not just any German. This was seems the first known successful hit of the vessel by a German rocket boosted radio remote control glider bomb one of the first true missiles used in combat.

It was in effect a guided missile and the Nazis had achieved first results were immediately destructive.

According to the website that today serves as the official online gathering spot for the Rona survivors Association more lives were lost on the Rona than on the USS Arizona Pearl Harbor over 1000 boys to be exact lost their lives in their government kept the entire episode a secret out of fear of information being leaked about the power of the German guided missile. The government fear the effect on the morale of the US military and the wider population.

It was so devastating states, the Rona survivors Association that the US government placed the veil of secrecy upon the government.

It said, still does not acknowledge this tragedy and, thus, most families of the casualties still do not know the fate of their loved one.

It's very sad and only now, long after the few survivors are even fewer, the Rona survivors are attempting to hold reunions over 70 years after the secrecy was so tight that Frank Breyer's daughter Mary Joe spent painstaking years with her dad trying to type out details and piece together what occurred that was haunted frequently by this Mary Jo told but it was not so much the sinking of the ship, but his personal inability to save many men those awful moments of fire remain secret in Frank's brain as the ship burst into a giant fireball, Frank Mann, the ropes of a lifeboat packed with injured soldiers. He was ordered to hold the ropes tight over the boat with the soldiers into the water below. This was no simple task, especially in a chaotic panic situation. Lifeboat filled with and is light that was proven quickly as the ropes wrote Frank watch the men below them in his care fall to their death. The image of those men slipping from his hands into the abyss, but the nightmares they become later. In the meantime Frank two was forced to abandon ship which submerged within nearly an hour for his own crowded lifeboat. He and five other men sees the floating wooden as the darkness slowly enveloped them with night setting in fear of still more German missiles. Frank led the group in reciting the Lord's prayer. They say there are no atheists in foxholes. Well there were none on that wooden bench in the water that night either Frank and his group with her floating wooden bench took turns for them would float on the bench and two would hang on the ropes. They fear not only Germans but sharks and for good reason. Anyone familiar with the horror story that was the USS Indianapolis knows how the sharks slowly but steadily devour the boys floating in the water over course of several long days. The crew of six tried to get some sleep while floating in the cold water but couldn't they needed to stay focused on holding onto the floating device the bench to their great fortune. They were in the water only for about six hours, just as the sun started to rise. The spider rescue boat on the horizon was a mind swing. They were taken to a facility in Algeria to recover but for Frank there was little emotional comfort. All he could think about was the wounded soldiers that he couldn't save the worst of all Frank could not share what he was going through. They were ordered not to write or talk about the Rona with her family, or even among themselves the military censorship was so stricter they were threatened with court-martial if he ever disobey. And so Frank kept it secret all the way to the grave, tormenting him yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, night after night throughout the rest of his life. Frank Breyer died on January 4, 2016 at age 92, seven decades after the sinking of the Rona he now at long last rest in peace let us a long last remember him and the entire crew of the Rona and thanks again to Paul Kenmore and that was his story and his contribution and Paul is a professor of political science at Grove city College and there are so many untold stories of World War II and so many of our nation's battles.

I know everything about running a coffee shop for small business insurance. I need my State Farm agent and company business owners to help you pass. State Farm is in your corner and on like neighbor. There call your local State Farm agent for quote today is now American stories we tell stories about everything here on the show and today we have a story from Leslie Lyons few. He's not speaker and the teacher. She lives in Kodiak, Alaska.

This is a story of how she came to write her first memoir, something she thought she'd never do yours, Leslie. This is the story of the book, really. It's the story of writing a book.

I never wanted to write the story of surviving the writing of the book. I never wanted to write to change my life in every way.

Let me back up. I always believed story was a voracious reader from a young age.

As soon as I could write, I began creating stories. I grew up in a time and culture. When I children with the best children think you are special any way, and pride was the worst sin of them all.

So when they could not and became a writer. Interest was stories my life is not a typical American life I lived in Alaska. Mostly in the summers. I commercial finished with my new husband and his family on a tiny island in the wilderness with no roads or cars is an island with eight people just lived two days and nights of such stories of people's doing fine so I wrote about other people by age 48 published two collections of stories about fishing third was different about my own experiences living in the building has been digging around by hand falling water in buckets building our own house with very few tools doing the laundry outside in the winter in an old wringer washing machine, priding frozen laundry off the line and stacking the towels stiff in my arms into the house like a stack of wood stories like I sent to my agent. Yes, I had an agent somehow earlier that year I had landed a hot New York literary agent, but she didn't like it is our first phone call went Leslie. I really like these essays, but is one problem you're not in, I know I replied.

That's the point about topics much wider ethical dilemmas of killing animals about a wasteful culture so many important things. It's about universals. Yeah, you don't care about universals unless we care about you are completely absent in collections now is to be your story to turn this into a memoir. I don't know where to me. I equated it with first-person stories by strippers in smoky bars and supermarket tabloids have disgraced politicians and ravaged movie stars, intelligent just scanned the sites would be interested in my life. No Kate, I can't do that next week teaching a creative writing class I say to my students. If you want to grow as a person as a writer take on new challenges and then I stopped for a moment to listen to myself, I decided to try to get another phone appointment with Kate next comment like this.

Remember, you asked me to turn this into a memoir to make about my life. Yes, of course.

Okay you brave so you memoir she laughed or something equally unhelpful figured out it wasn't to invite my house to stay invisible. I started with scenes cornerstone seems to take the reader straight into the action scenes that show a life rather than tell about the first day that I officially became official. I remember the process of getting dressed with layer upon layer of sweat shirts rain pants finally layered so they can have the I could hardly walk. I wrote about my first bathroom break on the water in the boat. Talk about basic we worked an 18 foot open boats with no camping, and of course no toilet this day. I was out with my new husband Duncan and my father in law. DeWitt seen went like this. It's almost noon now been fishing for four hours. I sit blearily on the wooden seat looking at the fish on the floor of the skiff 500 of them all in shiny waves slap and/are skiff from side to side.

I'm hungry and I need a bathroom break.

But how does this happen in 18 foot boat there's no cabin on our little wooden Peapod.

It's just a glorified rowboat afloat in a great Alaska see… Have a lien about his black green raincoat, mirroring the dark water below where I guess I got it shake the deal off my Lily, he went into a gravelly voice. I can hear his accent that we left 40 years before. During the test for picking cotton in working the land.

Now he works to see awkwardly and never seems at home I'm moving water except now I smile at Duncan intimate and turnaround when they are done.

It's my turn rock over there. Duncan, I point to a cold shelf of rock jutting out in a moment where they are. The skiff rising and plunging in the water swirling around the rocks and nervously perched in the bow ready to spring overboard, it just the right second my hands twitched as they quit the rail and motionless breathing hard job. Duncan yells at the nose of the skiff rises and the phoning search close and I shoot behind me sitting calmly beside Duncan's done this 100 times. I can't get any closer shouts as the boat gurgles and sinks now in the trough.

I can't make that distance in all this fishing gear and a finance.

How did a simple bathroom break become a life and death endeavor in my life all summer long.

But first, we created a writing studio on our island. My husband and I cleaned out a tiny shed on the dock over the ocean was filled to the rafters with decades of junk and old tools dragged into sawhorses dropped a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood on top and there my desk. My office wasn't insulated or heated. So even in the summer with the temperature in the 40s, I sat in a winter coat, hunched over my legal pad or old computer writing, remembering, as I wrote the fishing boats rumbled past the crows and bald eagles screeched overhead. I wrote and I wrote then I sent the chapters to Kate and you're listening to Leslie labeling fields in the story of writing a book that she said she never wanted to write. In fact that she reported the story of surviving writing a book, but she never wanted to write when we come back more of the story of Leslie labeling fields regular contributor here on the show.

State Farm is in your corner and on like a good neighbor. There call your local State Farm agent for quote today and we continue with our American stories and we been listening to author, speaker and teacher Leslie labeling fields. She lives in Alaska and is currently telling the story of how she came to write her first memoir, let's return the list I'm on the phone again.

Now we Kate Leslie it seems you compelling voices clipped. As usual is closer but there's something crucial missing. What is it I asked with dread wondering she's can you tell me to scrap the whole thing and start over. Why did you stay went into the Alaska wilderness that what happened change it without our story okay I say sinking. I know Kate is talking about the inner story to my students. Every story has at least those two layers. The outer story happens in the world. The inner story.

The deeper story. The psyche emotional, spiritual story before I began the memoir. This was what scared me most about life stories and memoir signed the contract and I knew that I was in a crow is a writer as a human being I needed to take this next Questions I needed 20-year-old girl just married standing skiff trying to keep her balance in the new waters of marriage living with her in-laws in a remote island in Alaska. Is there something there all night. See about finding and making strange land. I started writing inside each of the significant vents of those first years whenever I had the chance. I scribble taking down layer by layer. I wrote myself back to those days in the skiff. The long hours. The storms getting sick and still needing to work to the icy silences between my husband and me about the day I jammed clothes and food into a backpack and escaped the island. The only way possible by waiting until little time in marching off down to an empty shop 4 miles down the beach gun over my shoulder prepares myself back to that near disastrous day when I almost didn't make. I insisted on taking skiff out on an important errand is going to be a four hour trip I insisted on going alone.

It was a long way to go on the ocean in the winter snowstorm came I got lost in the total whiteout engine broke down.

I wrote about it describing how scared I was when it started snowing when the engine died when I knew I had drifted out onto the open ocean. When I thought I might die at the inner story is learning.

You can already new stories about so much. It's just as important to know why those things to know what moves and motivates us and how those moments large change change every two began to write stories and slowly came clear word by word that I was doing both of those events I was escaping the place that wasn't my ocean and island life that belonged to my new husband and his family to me yet it wasn't mine except by marriage by proxy. My life was borrowed shoehorned into whatever cracks I could fit in. Even where we lived.

Those first three summers. We lived in a tiny loft atop the rickety ladder in an old building lot just big enough to hold a bed and a woodstove. We could only stand up in the middle.

As I wrote so much about my site had been seen before and felt compassion for the young woman. I was in for my husband for the two of us trying to make a marriage work wilderness island with endless net ocean and fish. We couldn't control. I realize that both those escapes helped me in that place line to family my fingers on the keyboard showed me there were so many rescues and second chances.

I began to see that these chapters from my life were indeed about survival story creates easy grace hard grace, the kind you pray can survive and there was the title and the paradox that came to shape the final story surviving the island of grace. Six months later I finished the book. My stomach quivered my index finger hovered over attached file know when would publish it. I was sure, but I learned so much in writing, it page by page. I punch send and it was done, but Kate think I soon found out Kate sent it out into the world immediately after receiving it, and began a steady stream of rejections from the major New York publishers over the next two months. There was a yes from one of the new York Big Ten publishers. It was a hearty yes suddenly Kate was great and she said I was to first memoir Shirley Myler would soon be in bookstores around the country, the true happy ending to this story. When I begin writing the memoir reluctantly know what I was looking for the writing showed in the midst of roaring seas.

The claustrophobia of an island with no escape. Else my own ability as a writer. Words save my life. Words carved out space between land and sea where maybe I could hold writing surviving the island of grace brought me here to this moment. One morning I sat on a distant beach island. I was alone except for the two ravens on a cliff above me spanning I sorry I had chosen in this place. In this very particular life that came with it now. How could anything be other than lines, but when I chose all of this back in 1977 I did not know what I was choosing I came here with Duncan 20 running from a difficult childhood was certain I would find wholeness and freedom inherent in this island world. I looked around, it was still as wild and clean and fast place is when I first came to know now that what I was looking for is not something that can be found in a place or in person. Freedom in this knee, and it is made out of whatever is around you. It is made out of whatever is given to you like the particles on the rocks around me.

I looked at them closely.

They were anchored to a massive rock but they were moving each of them to be like a tiny telescope was rounding the perimeter of its own, shall bear halfway between land and water was a creature that literally grows its own cliff walls his own form and traps him is his prison is island cannot escape. It is also his mountain fortress. The very grace that sustains his life. When I finished writing surviving the island of grace I was hooked. Once I started writing the truest words from my life that I could find such clarity, discovery and consolations have come to me. I don't ever want to stop when we steward the beautiful burdens difficult passages given the chance to reclaim and heal those seen thousands of times in my own life and others. This is my work.

Teaching others to do the same in all our stories, we who are stranded on islands and in strange places have found the words and the grace to write ourselves home in a special thanks to Leslie.
