There was a Liberty ship in ww2 named after him also. It was one of only ten merchant vessels to recieve the Gallant Ship Award. I served on her last pacific trip during the war. If anyone is interested, ther is a web site devoted to the Judson ,her skipper and her history. It also mentions a college in Elgin Ill. named after Judson. Thank You Louis Laechelt Heber Springs Ark.
