KELLY BRYAN wrote on May 17, 2005 CITY AND STATE: STILLWATER OK UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My father has got his case re-opened by VA and they will pay his disability if he has a doctor to sign this paper stating that he got the rash and cancer from Korea. The VA knows that there is no way that a doctor will sign anything with the repercussions they could face in today’s society. If anyone can help my father get the signature he needs to get the disability that the military promised him over fifty years ago when he gave his all for his country to protect our and freedom but now there is no one to protect his. Please help me with my father's disability claim, he would not want it if it was not his and I would not help pursue it for him if the Navy would not have said that he was getting the disability when he was discharged. Thank you very much. Kelly Bryan Keywords: Nickname; Sonny, Emmett Friends; Adcock

CARRIE FAYE wrote on January 13, 2003 CITY AND STATE: LOVELAND CO UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: I am researching the Wadsworth, the Lowry, and its men because my Grandfather served on them in 1942 - 45. He is in the latter stages of Alzheimer's and I want to tell his story while he can still read it and be proud. He loves to tell its stories. If there is ANY info you can give me I would appreciate it. He is unable to give me info beyond his experiences and that he was on the Wadsworth in 42, he has many stories of the planes coming in on them. I am hoping to find someone who knew him. He was called "Lunny" because his last name was Lundblad. He remembers the man who called him that but can't remember his name. Whoever it was used to ask him, "What's the good word?" And he would reply with whatever biblical reference he had for the day. He was often the brunt of jokes as he had decided to become a minister when he got off the ship because of the times his life was spared. By the way, he did and he did amazing things. His life was spared three times while on the Wadsworth. So he spent most of his time reading and memorizing the bible. He recalls the Captain of the Lowry at the end of the war saying, "Full speed ahead to San Fransisco." He says everyone went crazy! If you have anything to share about this ship and the experiences you have learned about, or web sites that would be helpful I'd appreciate it! My grandfather was Emmanuel Axel Lundblad, please help me honor him. Thank you so much, Carrie Faye Keywords: His nickname was "Lunny."
