My Daddy served as a submariner in the Pacific.. and stayed behind in China for a year or so after the war. He hailed from Jacksonville, Fla... and always seemed to play on a ball team wherever he went. He attended Rice Institute for a short while and also South Carolina after the war. He is in poor health... and I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who may remember him or some exchange with him. I will pass it on to him. Even if you got in fight with him... I'd still like to hear about it. Thanks!

LWJduaghter, most welcome to the forums! Thank you for sharing that information on your father. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'd like to help out a bit, but first I'll need to know which submarine(s) did your father serve in? That way it's easier to track the remaining men of the crew(s).

And please, give him my regards. [img]graemlins/moh.gif[/img]
