My dad served from 1951 til retirement in Philadelphia 1971. I'm trying to locate sailors who may have known him in the early 1950s. Some information was given to my sister and me a little over a year ago and it's important we find someone who may have known him personally. He did his basic training in San Diego - entered on 11-20-1951. His first assignment was on the USS Jenkins in early 1952. Shortly thereafter on the USS Sproston, USS Huntington abd USS Greene. Not sure of the dates of the aforementioned ships, but retrieved this info from his Navy records. He passed away from Mesothelioma in 1982 at the age of 47. Name: William (Bill) (right). Please contact me if you recognize him.
