I am looking for an old shipmate I served with on the Leyte in 1952 and
53 by the name of J. A. Jones from Columbus Ohio. I lost track a few
years ago and my problem is I don't know what the J. A. stands for. We
think it is Jessie. Do you know of any way to find roster of the Leyte.
I have tried every thing I know to locate him. 


I found this site on the Leyte and thought you might like to see it. It
is:

Thanks,

I was looking to see if there was anything listed about ships reunions.
I myself being a member of the u.s.s. Leyte association,was looking to 
see if there might be something about our yearly reunions to find old
shipmates out there on the net,  who doesn't know about our gatherings
and where to get more info.

I'm sure this would be the place for that kind of rundown.
Thank you.

Through this site I was able to re-establish relationships with old
shipmates and re-kindle old memories.  On August 7th, 1998 contacted 
Paul Lovely who has already re-introduced Ira Bossert who ironically 
lives in my area. If anyone has any information about Robert E Seaman
and his where abouts please contact me.

Thanks for your help
