Comments: Boarded the "Lady" "Queen of the Seas and Bound for Europe in the Spring" in November of 1946. Served as a Disbursing Storekeeper (DK3) until April of 1948. I don't see many names on these message boards that go back that far. I'd be happy to run onto a shipmate from that long ago period. Troutman, Billy Chris, Bobby Dale, Moe Gisoni - sound off if you read this!!

Shortly after the explosion on the Leyte, I was transferred to the Bennington. She exploded the same way, with greater damage and loss of life.
