Alfred Arthur McMicken

In looking at an old Commutator, I saw a letter written to the editor from survivor Amy McMicken. Anyone know where she is on the pax list? thanks. Dennis
 
Hi Dennis,
She wasn't actually a survivor, but was the widow of steward Alfred Arthur McMicken and I think had an honorary membership in THS back in the 1960's. Her husband was born October 20, 1888 and was one of the surviving crewmen.

I seem to recall reading that McMicken said in a press interview after the disaster that Captain Smith was seen (he did not say by whom) struggling in the water in "oilskins". That seems extremely unlikely; not sure if he even had a set of oilskins and even if he had, I doubt if the old Captain would have removed his uniform to get into the wetsuit.
