Helen Chavez wrote on 2008-01-24 16:51:14.0 Comments: would love any information or pics of his time on the Higbee. He use to talk about it when I was younger. He had made a model of the ship we had on the fireplace but that disappeared. Just would like any info about the ship, pictures and its time during the Korean War. Would appreciate anything. Thank you. Keywords: My brother died in 1977 at 47. We were 18 years apart. He had been married and divorced so any pics he had of the ship are gone. He has two sons, one is 46 and getting married. I am his only aunt and for his wedding gift I am putting an album together of his dad's pics and a brief history of his life.
