Garandomatic Posted February 17, 2015 Share #15 Posted February 17, 2015 The only thing that comes up are records from November 1945 to Feb. 1, 1946 from the USS Stembel. Hard to say what he did before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAST Posted May 5, 2015 Share #19 Posted May 5, 2015 He is listed on findagrave as a captain in the USAF. There is an article in the Salina Journal that mentions him being part of SAC. It also says that he was a radio operator in the Navy during WWII. http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/40748721/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
