Looking for info about my grandfather

Comments: My name is Erin and I was just looking for any information about my grandfather. His name was Richard Adams and I know he was a part of Operation Redwing, although I'm not sure what ship he was on. He died when I was two so I was just curious if anyone had any stories or remembers anything about him. Thanks so much.

Canteen Money

Comments: My hobby is collecting any old or new World Paper Money. Along with the collection are also "Funny Money" items. Two of these items are a 5 cent bill and a 10 cent bill labeled JAPTAN ISLAND. They are both about one dollar size. They have a drawn coconut tree in the center with ENIWETOK underneath it. I have also been to Eniwetok. Each note has at the bottom "FIVE CENTS IN TRADE" AND "TEN CENTS IN TRADE" respectively. On each note where the U.S. notes have the letter in a circle showing where our money was printed, they have a similar symbol with JOINT TASK GROUP - 132.3 - RECREATION COUNCIL - PRINTED ABOARD - USS ESTES agc-12. I thought this might be of interest to you. If you happen to have any like this and have an extra copy, I would appreciate getting it. Both of mine are only in fair condition. Thank you.

USMC aboard the ESTES

Comments: I was a Marine Radio Telegraph Operator with the Marine Signal Detachment. We picked up the Estes at Hunter's Point,San Francisco just as she was ready for her shakedown cruise and stayed aboard for for almost a year. After her shakedown we anchored in the middle of S.F. bay and spent a couple of days loading ammo. Then on to Pearl Harbor for De-gaussing. Our home port was Yokosuka Japan. In Korean waters we patroled both coasts but spent most of our time in Inchon takeing care of business.
