I went to a few reunions and enjoyed them a lot. At one time a fellow named T.S. Plough from Little Valley N.Y.who I believe served during the Korean conflict offered a 22 x 17 inch photo of the Cobb underway. I would like to obtain a copy of the photo, if available. I can be reached at spalmer1@cinci.rr.com. Thanks! Keywords: U.S.S Walter B. Cobb, APD 106

TED (THEODORE) BREMER wrote on July 20, 2007 CITY AND STATE: BEACON NY UNIT: ELCTRICIANS MATE SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: NAVY VETERAN Comments: After discharge in 1946 got sucked into joining inactive reserve. Although my hitch was uo, Congess extended my time and called me back, I always say it was because I did so well during WWII they wanted me again. Instead of going back on an LST at Little Creek VA I was assigned to APD 106, they needed a rated electricians mate- that was me. My (drinking)buddy in the crew was James (Sidney) Biddle, who I kept contact with for all years up to 2005, when he passed away. In the crew I only remember a nice guy name "Woodie". who was so upset as he was going bald... My final hitch wouldhave expired when the ship was well at sea on the Med cruise, The Capt kindly let me off to go back home. Keywords: Originally on LST 998, participated in invasion landings in Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, interesting LST duty in China.
