SANDRA HEUCKROTH wrote on August 11, 2007 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: I have had the fortunate adventure and continue to read of the unbelievable experiences my father had in the Navy from 1952  1955 through the letters he wrote home as often as he was able to and with as much money as he could afford to help his widowed mother and three siblings. When my father and mother divorced I was fortunate enough to claim 48+ letters my 17-20-year-old-father wrote to his mother chronicling his first adventure out of Wisconsin and traveling around the world. Each time they are read, new and overwhelming stories emerge and I have decided, as a novelist, to weave them into my next novel. As such, I have begun researching all things concerning the 1950s, the Korean war, Naval ships and the political and economical times that shaped my fathers unwavering and financial determination to join the Navy at aged 16 and to venture for the first time beyond the farm lands of the midwest. Besides his letters, I also have The Keel  United States Naval Training Center, Great Lakes Illinois, Co. 25, 1952 yearbook as well as The Bluejackets Manual, 14th edition published by the United States Naval Institute in Annapolis, Maryland in 1950. I am planning on visiting the USS Iowa in Vallejo, CA in 2 weeks and have studied many battleship manuals in preparation. I would love to hear from anyone who has any information about the life aboard Naval vessels between 1952 and 1955 and am more than happy to share what I have from my father through these textbooks and his private postings.

LINDA WEISCHEDEL wrote on July 17, 2004 CITY AND STATE: PHILADELPHIA PA UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My Dad: Richard B. Weischedel served on the USS McNair in the Korean War. He passed away on May 28 1999 of Lung Cancer. With the stories he has told me growing up I learned about the Navy, it's tactics, the lingo, and the nicknames of certain parts of a ship. Oh and something cute, I learned real quick not to call or refer to the McNair as a BOAT! I would like to share with his shipmates on how he complimented you all on being a fine bunch of men.
