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.

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
