Comments: My father-in-law, Paul Arndt, is now 80. He served in the 483rd TCW at Ashiya AFB Kyushu from July 1952 to July 1954. He had various assignments dealing with supply and loading C-119s. There was a huge flood in the city of Kyushu beginning in June 1953 in which he helped the local people. He also remembers pushing crates of supplies out the back of C-119's at night over Korea. If you know him you may contact me. Thanks.

Comments: I'm looking for anyone who may have known my grandfather Warren E. Keenan. I found a telegram announcing the birth of my mom in Aug of 1952. I also have a photo of him in his cockpit. I didn't even know he was in the service until I found this, he never talked about it. The information I have is off the telegram. I would love to hear from anyone who may have known him! Please contact me: Dessa email: dessa@pipeline.com
