The sinking of the Reuben James on October 31 was sad news to the Georgia Tech graduates who took training cruises on the ill-fated destroyer in 1933 and 1939. Although the cruises were made by the Atlanta Naval Reserve Unit, a number of the officers and enlisted men were either Tech graduates or Tech students. In 1933 the reserve unit boarded the Reuben James and the Bainbridge and headed for Washington to see President Roosevelt inaugurated. But during the trip they "went through the worst storm you ever heard about" to hear Lt. Commander George Griffin tell it. Tech men taking the cruises were: Lt. J. C. Altobellis, Lt. J. T. Kain, a former football star; Lt. Charles Maston, Lt. R. W. Brewin, Lt. Com. M. R. Sanders, Lt. Allen Morris, and Lt. Com. George Griffin.
