My dad attended the last 2 reunions with his shipmates. The last reunion was in Pensacola, Fl. in 2001. When my dad attended this reunion, he purchased a corkscrew willow cane. About 1 week after purchasing this cane, he had a stroke. This cane was such a blessing. Also my dad HAD a hat from these reunion's, and it had little pins on it , which had something to do with these reunions with his shipmates. About 2 months ago, my dad went to visit my brother in Tucson, AZ. Upon getting off the plane, his hat flew away, and that was the end of the hat. Does anyone know if I can purchase one of these hats and replace it for my dad. He is still upset about losing the hat. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated on where I could obtain another hat. It was dark blue. Thanks again, Daughter of an American Veteran. My email address is: teach4kids@madbbs.com Keywords: Ships |

He was stationed in Long Beach, CA and served aboard the USS Rendova CVE-114 in the US Navy for a period until 1953 when an accident caused him to be thrown overboard without detection. His body was never recovered and listed as MIA/lost at sea. A good friend whom he served with until his death is named "Yeshi" (last name and present whereabouts unknown). I am seeking information about my uncle or contact with anyone who remembers him or the incident that resulted in his death. His brother, Donald Pleason also served as official photographer in the US Navy during the Korean War peace talks, but later died in his early forties from a sudden heart attach. Consequently, my family has none of Marvin's personal effects, including a death certificate from the Navy. Any information, guidance or advise that we might receive to assist my family in obtaining information about Uncle Marvin or Yeshi would be considered a real blessing. We do have an astonishing photo-journal that belonged to Donald that is truly museum quality as he had unprecedented access to events at the peace talks due to his official status as photographer. We are considering donating this to a museum if anyone can provide information about such an organization. God bless, Tony Yarbrough Houston, TX Keywords: |
