Comments: I have the last letter my father wrote to his dad...in it he mentions that service personnel would be coming by for a clearance check. He mentioned (Donna/8mo's old) I had just cut my first tooth. He also, stated in his letter that he hopes he can be half the father to his little girl that his dad was in raising him.
This letter, some western union telegraphs, and a few photos are all I have of this incredible man. As Father's Day comes and goes each year, I yearn to know more of the person that brought me into the world. He truly is my hero.
Anyone with information, please contact me. Thanks

My father has terrible nightmares and is still unable to discuss ANY details at all of his time in service.
If anyone recalls hearing this name or anything at all about my father I would certainly appreciate the info.
sometimes he mentions the Hawaiian Islands. Wa there a mental hospital there? Sometimes i wonder if Dad may have had a breakdown during this time because of tidbits of info Thank you Carol Wiggins Baswell
