Most of them were not collectors of autographs or historical documents, but this letter induced special
reflective memories."In 1963 Admiral Hyman Rickover, the "Father of the Nuclear Navy", sent his usual
sea trial report to shipyard executives and politicians. Even though I collect and sell rare
historical memorabilia and documents, I have always maintained this in my own personal collection. It
is a chilling account of what happened just a few weeks earlier on April 10,
1963. However, this would be no typical letter as Rickover addresses the nike requin recent loss of
the USS Thresher. This is the Original letter in my personal collection. However, when I
first showed them a Presidential Appointment signed by Abraham Lincoln the excitement transcended to non-collectors.
Avid collectors have such passion about their particular areas of interest that is hard to
imagine how anyone can NOT be a collector of something. HOWEVER, to a US Navy
veteran, especially a veteran Navy Submariner, the hair stands up on the back of the
neck as they read such a letter. I recall nike pas cher watching several "jaws drop" as they
gazed at this magnificent piece of history.Similar to this experience was when I posted a
copy of a historical letter from Admiral Hyman Rickover discussing the recent loss of the
USS Thresher. For example, most of my family members are not collectors. But, some areas
of collecting can take on another dimension that goes beyond just another acquisition. So, I
recently posted this chilling letter to my 400 member submarine group and the response was
what I expected. Now, to the average person there are no stimuli invoked by the
mention of Admiral Rickover or the Thresher. In the world of autograph and historical document
collecting, acquiring a significant historical document is truly a surreal experience. Fellow submariners can only
imagine the horrific fate our brave young brothers endured."So, here is a good example of
how and when non-collectors can relate to the passion of collectors.The author has been collecting
and selling celebrity autographs, vintage movie posters, historical & sports memorabilia and fine art
oil paintings for over 20 years..
