Comments: I have been looking for Janan W. Robeau for some time now. Every two years there is a SASEBO reunion in Las Vegas. Its not just the school but anyone who lived in Sasebo. I knew Jan in I believe 1961-63. I know that he was on the USS AJAX. He also served with a David Vidola and Ken Ericson. If anyone knows the whereabouts of Jan or his friends, please contact me. I know that Jan had family at one time in Stone Mountain, Georgia and I think a sister in California. We are all anxious to see him again!

Comments: This is just a shot in the dark, but my father, the late Patrick Cole Downey of Suffern, NY served as a radio man on the USS Ajax, as well as USS Hector during the Korean War. One night, years ago at the dinner table, he broke down in front of my family and related to us how he and several other of his shipmates had come under fire, and how he killed a man in Vietnam while delivering mail, on a river somewhere and how the action was kept secret afterward. Any information would be more than welcome. Regards, Patrick C. Downey Jr. USMC '86, '89
