Comments: Uptown left Korea shortly after I came aboard. Went thru Pearl to Calif. Yard period in Long Beach then through the canal and yard period in Philly. Med cruise. Somtime in there was a Gitmo test and a St. Laurence run to Quebeck. While I was aboard, Christmas presents were sent to the Sullivan brothers parents. The last time the parents requested that we do not send any more because it brought back too many memories.

Keywords: T division From about Aug 1952 To about Oct 1954.

He passed away about 10 years ago with ALS. I am trying to put all his Navy pictures in a memory book for my mother in law. There is a man with the last name of Holder in many of the pictures. I would love any information. There are so many great pictures - but no info to go with them. Did Doris Day visit the ship? He was from Easley SC. Any help would be appreciated.

Comments: My father in law Bill Stoddard served on the Juneau sometime between 1945 and 1947. He is in a nursing home and not doing real well but started talking about his time in the Navy and his time on the Juneau during a Thanksgiving dinner this past week.

I started to do a little research and came across this website and wondered if there was any chance of finding out when exactly he served on the Juneau and where they traveled when he was on board. He said something about fighting or watching Tito. I took this to mean they were watching Tito in Yugoslavia.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
