USS Indianapolis, CA35,Autographed Edgar Harrell, Survivor, Atomic Bomb

Description

Good evening,
What I am listing tonight, Is an 4 x 6 printed card of painting that Edgar Harrell commissioned for selling at his book signing events, autographed, hand signed on the card by Edgar Survivor of the July 30th sinking of the USS Indianapolis. This card has been autographed by Edgar Harrell, Seagoing Marine.
The card has been hand signed on the card with silver pen by all three. The autograph Is actual, real not a scan, copy, or forgeries of any type.
I am proud of the fact that I was able to contribute to their 75th anniversary book
I have attended all USS Indianapolis Reunions 1995-2007. The USS Indianapolis Organization had recognized me as a Historian and Photo Archivist, ( see scan) I am also a member of the Second Watch Organization.
I attended Reunions when very few people that were not Survivors or their families attended. I became friends with these men. I had the original photographs copied by a professional photographic laboratory, an Inter negative negative was made of each and copies were made from the negative. This was the old way of doing things before scanners. It was a very expensive way to copy but worth It.
It has never been my Intent to profit off this event. I went to considerable personal expense accumulating a large collection of photographs of the USS Indianapolis and traded the  photographs for the men's autographs. No Survivor was ever denied any amount of photos he wanted, 1 or 25 I just asked for their autographs In return. It was estimated that I gave away several thousand  photos.
It Is hoped that through this listing and sharing this, that the memory of their sacrifices will never be
forgotten
