Does anyone remember submariner Lester "BoBo" Johnson?
Hi all. My father was a WWII vet who served in the pacific in the Navy. I posted back in 2003... but got no responses.
Lester Wallace Johnson hailed from Jacksonville, FL... wanted to be a navy pilot... but become a submarine sailor instead. He stayed on in China(?) after the war and didn't come home right away.
My father passed in 2005... but if anyone has a recollection of him or an old photo they could share... it would really be great. I think he had a way with the ladies... and married a woman in San Diego after the war? Bertha? She is not my mother, but it is of no consequence.
He was very athletic... basketball, baseball & football. He played alot of team sports, it that helps. He also told me some stories about he did get into fights from time to time... and spent 14 days in the Brigg on nothing but bread and water!
Thank you!
