MAGGIE CORDONIER THOMPSON wrote on July 2, 2008 City and State: ASHBURN VA Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Avid in genealogy research, I am searching for the only son of my father's sister. In her will (1958) she shows an address for him, Robert William Lemoine, as USS Mount Katmai, AE-16, Fleet P.O., SF, California. He was probably born around 1930 in California. Her full name was Viola Mabel Cordonier, and she passed away in 1962. From what I have been able to learn, they were estranged. If anyone remembers him or has any information helpful to my search, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. Maggie Keywords: Lemoine, USS Mount Katmai
