Comments: Hello,
I am looking for shipmate of my late father Robert Morris Jones. He was discharged from the nave in September 1951. I have been told he was aboard the USS Halsey Powell DD686 During the Korean war.

I would like to hear from any of his shipmate or any old Navy buddies he had. He was originally from Idabel Okalahoma and Married my mom and moved to Boston MA, 3 days after his discharge on September 6th 1951.

Thank you,
Neil Jones

Comments: My father, Arthur Melvin Reece, served as an eletricain mate on the Haley Powell during the Korean War (1951-55). He was a native of North Carolina. His nickname was Buck, but I am not sure if he used that during his time in Navy. I am trying to connect with any of his shipmates and friends. I am very interested in his life and duties aboard the Halsey Powell. Please contact me with any information.

Comments: Just seeing if anybody remembers Glen Hanne- he's my grandfather and he served on the Halsey Powell from July of 1951 to June of 1954. He says he's attended all but one of the reunions, so most of you probably have met him in one of the recent ones. If you've missed out, however, and want to talk to him again, his phone number is (714) 761-8249.
