Please put a note on the site that a TV company in Toronto, Cine-Nova
Productions, is working on a documentary of the
Cuban Quarantine, with
considerable focus on Cecil's surfacing of the Russian submarine. This
will include a re-enactment of the action, using actors on a Canadian
destroyer on Lake Michigan, which is as close as they can get to the real
thing. They are looking for pictures and other items of interest. They
have been through the roster on the web site of members on board at or
near the time of the action, and will contact those who displayed items
possibly of use in the film, if they can contact them by telephone or
e-mail. The documentary will be shown on the Discovery Channel near the
40th anniversary of the October 1962 action.
Your assistance will be welcomed.
Regards
Capt. C.P. Rozier, USN Retired
Commanding Officer, USS C.P. Cecil (Sept.1961 - June 1963)
