Went to Sampson about
4th of July 1944 on train from Richmond Va. Took bus from
Hampton Va to Richmond along with about 35 others, many of us
who had worked in shipyard. We were unable to go to Camp Perry
as they were full so we were sent to "where the heck is
that place". Think most of us ended up in D unit. would
like to hear from any of you. Great web site and great museum. |

for a "class picture" for our website. I think it is
great that you all are doing this work so that the children,
grandchildren and great grandchildren can know the answer to
"What did you do in the war, Grandpa?" |

Just wondering if any
of the boots that went through SAMPSON with my Father are still
alive and well? I don't know the exact company or year he was
there? but his name was THOMAS F. DOYLE (PAPPY) as he was in his
mid or late Thirties when he went through SAMPSON. He served in
the Pacific WWII. I remember him talking about a crew member
named GUNNER DYER from MICHIGAN.( I'm not sure but think they
served on a sea going barge used for rest area for pilots and
carring fuel.)The barge was distroyed in a Typhoon in Leyte gulf
along withmany other ships. |

I just received my
newsletter today and I am so excited about this site. My Dad
trained at this base and I'm quite sure that if he was alive
today, we would be driving up there to visit. I have e- mailed
this site information to my family members. I served in the Navy
from 7/59 through 7/62. I was at 90 Curch St, NYC until the
Cuban crisis and then we were transferred to the Naval Examining
Center, Glakes,Ill, to fill billets for the sailors that were
sent into the Fleet during the crisis. I am so happy to be a
part of both eras. I am an Auxliiary member as I am the daughter
of a WW2Vet and of cause I was on active duty during the Cuban
crisis. I will send more information about my late dad at
another time. Sincerely, Janet M. Pimental 903- 17-94W |
