If you are putting this information on the website he goes by Willie C. George. 
I spoke with him and he just lit up with memories of his time on the Indianapolis. 

We all appreciate the time y'all have put into the exhibit and we will try our 
best to make a trip to the exhibit in the near future if conditions allow.
