He was one of the better officers on board. I also knew Jack Poe, Dusty Rhodes, Arlen Weis BM1 and Dempsey Morse EM3. They were all good shipmates. But over the years I have lost track of them all. As for a reunion, if I hear from enough people we can try to put one togeather. Keywords: Minesweeper Sailors

BOB MCKARNEY wrote on September 10, 2003 City and State: CAMBRIA CA Unit: Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: Just happened to discover your post to vets of the USS Redstart. I was First Lieutenant/Minesweep Officer from March, 1954 thru August, 1955. The "Smitty" that you referred to was a Bos'n 1st class and my acting Chief Bos'n, replacing Chief Stowe, much to my relief. Smitty was a great cumshaw artist, replacing a sunken pig one night in Sasebo, and nobody knew how he did it or where it came from. LCDR Robert Foreman was Captain who was replaced by Doyle shortly before I mustered out. Other names you included were George Wolfe, Electronics or Operations Officer, I believe, and Fred Ide, who mustered out in Sasebo. The exec was known as "Navy Davy" Pogue, and not very popular among the officers. The Engineering Officer was Ben Lee, and his assistant EO was Clarence Schwerin, a small round Ensign who was famed for drunkenly stepping off the gunwale of an LCVP not yet quite alongside while returning from Liberty. My assistant was Ensign Glen Rhodehorst, who's fame was testing the whistle and horn backwards, much to the embarrassment of the Captain. I think Ackerman was the Petty Officer 2nd class who advised me that we were steaming into the Seaplane take off strip while I was trying to dock at night in San Diego. Fortunately the PBY pilot saw us and shut down before disaster. Others of your name recollection are familiar, but at my age I can't put the faces to the names. I can't even put your face to your name, but I certainly thank you for bringing me fond memories of my days and shipmates in the Redstart. Had I to do over, I just may have become a career office Keywords: USS Redstart AM-378
