Simmons, wheelsman onboard the Fitz, was born in Ashland, Wisconsin, where he married Florence Higgins in 1937. They had three children; one son who died at birth, and two daughters, Patricia and Mary.
The journey that started on November 9, 1975 was going to be his last trip before his retirement from sailing on the Great Lakes. Capt. McSorley asked him to make this one last trip with him, and he agreed out of great respect for the man and the friendship they had shared for over thirty years.
He was a jokester and a story teller; he loved telling us (nieces, nephews, children) stories about the boat and his many voyages aboard her. He was the senior wheelsman and truly loved sailing. His children spent a lot of time with him on board the Fitz when he was docked in Duluth, Minnesota, and his daughter and son-in-law often picked him up and brought him home on leave.
John was also quite a pool player. He graduated from Depadua High School and played basketball well. He left money in his will for this very same school's athletic department. (The school now being called St. Agnes Catholic School at the time of his passing.)

The Great Brain Is Back

I am now 33 years old and still love the Great Brain series. I read them as a child and bought the paperback set then. I still have it.......covers off, torn pages and raggedy books overall, but I still love them. The Great Brain series is great for kids..........it teaches them a lot about what life was like back then with no t.v or computers. It is also a great series for adults. Takes you back to a childhood like the Wonder Years series. You will love it. Makes a great gift. The person you...

November 10, 1975 the bulk freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior with all hands. This page is dedicated to the memory of the 29 men lost that night and the families they left behind. The Fitzgerald cleared Superior, Wisconsin, on her last trip on November 9, 1975, with a cargo of 26,116 tons of taconite pellets consigned to Detroit. Traveling down Lake Superior in company with ARTHUR M. ANDERSON of the United States Steel Corporation's Great Lakes Fleet, she encountered heavy weather and in the early evening of November 10th, suddenly foundered approximately 17 miles from the entrance to Whitefish Bay (47º North Latitude, 85º 7' West Longitude) Captain McSorley of the "FITZ" had indicated he was having difficulty and was taking on water. She was listing to port and had two of three ballast pumps working. She had lost her radar and damage was noted to ballast tank vent pipes and he was overheard on the radio saying, "don't allow nobody (sic) on deck." McSorley said it was the worst storm he had ever seen. All 29 officers and crew, including a Great Lakes Maritime Academy cadet, went down with the ship, which lies broken in two sections in 530 feet of water. Click here to hear the captain of the Arthur M. Anderson reporting the suspected loss to the Coast Guard that night.

STUDIES IN
AUSTRALIAN CRIME
BY
JOHN D. FITZGERALD
PREFACE T HESE narratives and discussions of notable Australian crimes are based on a belief that there is something not merely interesting but instructive to the general reader in the doings of criminals, while a study of their motives and surroundings should be useful to the lawyer, the physician, the criminologist and the statesman. Alexandre Dumas' series of essays on historical crimes are famous in literature; and the late Mr. H.B. Irving a gifted man too soon lost to literature and the stage gave us several fascinating studies. It is of interest to note that in his category of criminals Dumas includes Mary Queen of Scots; and Irving in his judge Jeffrey. Dumas, who classified Mary Queen of Scots (over whom many tears have been wasted) as a murderess, would have placed the German Emperor in the same category. Considering the character of the studies that follow, I note that they are composed (unconsciously) on the lines of Dumas rather than those of Irving. The former are primarily studies of the crime; the latter of the criminal. In the one, of course, there is necessarily some discussion of the criminal, and in the other, of equal necessity, some account of the crime. But Irving portrayed the psychology of criminal man; Dumas dealt with the dramatic side of each crime described. His criminals were mere characters in the drama, but the drama was his main objective.

Tactical strength: Buy The Great Brain J.D. Fitzgerald, aged seven, tells of his adventures with his older brother Tom, alias the Great Brain. Tom, aged 10, unabashedly admits that he has the greatest brain in all of Adenville, a fictional town set in rural Utah. When Mr. Fitzgerald installs the first flushing toilet in their town, Tom devises a scheme to charge the neighborhood kids each a penny to see the "Magic Water Closet." Although Tom prefers to use his brain for profit, he will also use it to rescue boys lost in a nearby cave, make an immigrant Greek boy feel welcome, and teach a friend who lost a leg to use his new peg leg. I loved The Great Brain as a kid, and I still love its charm and wit. Fitzgerald places interesting characters in a fascinating old-West setting and gives them fun adventures. We get to join J.D. in his admiration of the Great Brain, but we also get to sample life in rural 1890s Utah. For example, Abie Glassman tries to open a store in town, but he quickly goes out of business (and dies) because the Mormons (and many of the non-Mormons) will only shop at the Mormon-owned ZCMI store. You never get the impression that Fitzgerald holds a negative opinion of Mormons, he just describes his life as he lived it.

Suggested retail price: $4.99 (US)
Tactical strength: Buy More Adventures of the Great Brain Fitzgerald continues to chronicle his adventures with his older brother Tom, the Great Brain. This volume gets a little repetitive with the opening and closing chapters both involving the boys sneaking out at night to places forbidden by their parents. In each case, Tom shames other boys into going out late at night to prove his point, either that monsters do exist or that ghosts don't. The real charm of this series lies in its accurate portrayal of the characters. Tom does always think up great schemes, but he doesn't always benefit from them. When Tom starts his own newspaper, he tries to scoop his father's paper and he prints mostly gossip that hurts his neighbors. Every kid has to learn at some point that probably everyone does know the juicy stories, but that bringing those stories out in the public eye can do great harm. Tom wanted to work for his father, but his father wisely tells Tom that Tom has only proved that he hasn't matured enough to work for the paper. But Tom has his good points too. When Old Butch, the well known and loved town mongrel dog dies, Tom arranges to give Butch a hero's funeral. Tom eulogizes Butch by praising his availability to all the kids whose parents wouldn't allow a dog in the home. Tom can use his great brain for both the best and the worst uses, and he (and hopefully we too) learn from these simple yet touching stories.
