He hung out with a few guys, one being George DePinto (spelling? Not sure). This Christmas, we gave him a picture of the ship, which brought back memories, that he enjoyed sharing with this five children, and grandchildren. If anyone remembers him, please contact me, I enjoyed watching his eyes light up this Christmas while recalling his glory days on the 684. Thanks, Missy Matas Keywords: Korean War; Wedderburn

ANDRE' ALLEMAND wrote on January 19, 2004 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My Dad was an SK2 on the Wedderburn during the Korean War. He did not speak much to me about his actions, only that his war duty was long. My brother was born while he was away. Once, I took my Dad and My son to the USS Kidd museum in Baton Rouge. the Kidd was a fletcher class and Dad was telling us stories about the simularities of the two ships. We sort of went off the assigned tour and searched around the ship. I could see it in his eyes. His remembering certian things while on there was unique and a bit of living history to me and my son. My Dad passed away in 1996. He was a proud american and believed in what was right. -Andre' Keywords:
