I checked out this
site for my Dad, Edward R Bell who served as an instructor at
Sampson in '43. I was hoping to find a link to the Sampson
snowbird group that meets annually in Englewood, Florida. My Dad
is looking for someone going to the reunion on March 20, who
lives in the Lee County area and would like to ride with him.
Hope you can help! I was able to take Dad to see the museum in
August of 99 and he told me the story of his adventure in the
brig. It was great. Thanks for making the site available. It is
so important to remember the past. Thanks. Candie Bell Roberts |

before, if so, its an opportunity to commend you for the great
job putting this site together. Left Sampson in April of 1944,
but think of it and the wonderful guys who won that war so many
years ago. Years don't diminish the memory. This site will help
preseve it. |

Dad was a trainee in
the winter of 1943. He spoke humorously about the basic training
"glitches" in cold weather. Despite being from Ohio
with its cold weather, Dad thought someone must have been off
their trolley to stage the outdoor phase of training at Sampson.
With WWII on and as a draftee he had little choice. |

Boot camp G-525
Dec,43-Feb.44-Remember shoveling snow so we could practice
marching in bitterly cold weather. I am now spending winter near
Pensacola,Fl.and we watched with great pride the LST325 being
brought back into Mobile by old Navy Vets. Don't know if any
were at Sampson or not??, but they did a remarkable job getting
it sea worthy,to sail from Greece-across Atlantic,against Coast
Guard wishes.and make it to Mobile Bay. |

I am an Air Force
Sampson Vet. Some years ago,I brought my son up to Ithaca to
visit Cornell. We decided to take a side trip to Sampson, where
Steve Bull and his companions had a Navy display at the park's
Visitors Center. I found myself wishing that it would be nice if
the Sampson Air Force vets had a similar organization. Later on,
I learned that they did and I joined. During a SAFBVA reunion,
we visited the Navy's reunion in the renovated brig/stockade. I
enjoyed it very much. When I was a senior in high school (class
of 1954) and I knew I was subject to the draft, I considered
enlisting in either the Navy or the Air Force. The Air Force won
out (I couldn't swim). I had an uncle who served in the Navy
during WW2. Who knows? Maybe he did his boot camp at Sampson. |
