Comments: My father was a photographers mate on the Arcadia during the Korean conflict. When he passed away I got the pictures he took of the ship and crew during public ceremonies. I would be happy to share them with anyone who is interested.

I'd love to find out the names of at least some of the people who served with my Dad.

Keywords: My first ship-boarded in 1968 at Newport, R.I. in September. The next summer we de-commissioned her in Portsmouth, VA in 1969. From there I was assigned to the USS Robert A. Owens DD- 827 which was in drydock in Norfolk, VA. Set sail for the Med in September for a 4 1/2 month tour. I remember an old friend who travelled with me to Newport to the ship - Henry Haughn.

I represent his family in a case for his death. I need to talk to anyone who recalls Ray Hellmann (he was a 19 year old, German immigrant then) and lived in Lansing, Michigan. Thank you.
