As promised "I watched November Requiem on DVD tonight and as I mentioned earlier, it brought me to tears watching this movie and to think what the families of the lost crew of the Bradley had to go through and endure along with the people and citizens of Rogers City as well. However, if you watch and listen to this movie it is also important to know and realize that "The Spirit of Rogers City will forever live on despite the tragedy of both the Bradley and the Cedarville and the lost crew their spirits will also forever live on as well." In watching the film one must also understand and realize that not only will the crews' spirits live on but also Carl D. Bradley both the man and the ship himself will both live on forever and we should also remember the brave men of both the Bradley along with the Cedarville and celebrate their lives as well as that's the way they'd want to be remembered along with Carl D. Bradley also.

Although a day late unfortunately, never too late I guess to watch any Bradley DVDs and that’s what I’ve done today. It takes me about two days to watch as I need breaks in between. So at some point this week I’ll get out my copy of November Requiem and watch it. This video I’ll tell you all, everytime I watch it just brings me to tears as it certainly is a tear jerker that’s for certain! Whenever I watch November Requiem my heart is in my throat and I just feel for the families of the lost crew of the Bradley and what they went through as far as the search for any survivors and the hope and prayers that they’d be found alive somehow and someway. Of all the videos I have of the Bradley taking nothing away from any others but, November Requiem hands down is the best!

Can't find the full November Requiem documentary online only a 4 minute preview.

Yes, it would be great if he could be there for it. I believe it was at one of the book signings at the Maritime Center where we met Dennis Hale around ten years ago. If I recall correctly, we met you there that day, as well, Denny. That was a fantastic day as we surely met one of the legends of the lakes when we met Mr. Hale!

Thanks for the You Tube link Guest12. As for Howard, Yes I still have my copy of the DVD and try as best I can when not busy of course to see and watch it. The problem I have now is my DVD player is getting old and the sound on it is terrible but I hate to dish it as it’s got a VCR tape player that I use for watching VHS tapes as Yup I still got tons and tons of them yet. As for Frank Mays, I’m glad you were able to meet him as I am hoping to meet him someday and talk with him, get his picture and have him sign copies of his books before it’s too late! I’ve heard he has in the past been at Port Huron and just wish he’d be up there come this Saturday for the book event. That would be neat and nice if he could be there somehow for it. God Bless the crew of the Bradley today along with their families and Frank Mays as well. God Bless the folks and town of Rogers City as well today. Thoughts and prayers today for all of them.

Yes, I do believe it is available online Denny. We were just thinking this morning that we should dig out our DVD and watch it today as we were reminiscing about the time Mother and I went to an event and met Frank Mays. What a fascinating man with such a story to tell.
