I served as Engineering Officer aboard the Stoddard in 1952. The reunion plans sound wonderful, and I surely wish that Mary and I could attend and participate, but, because of my MS, walking is difficult for me and pain prevents me from doing many things would like to do. Although I probably would not know many of the members, but I would surely like to get acquainted with all of you. I saw a couple of names mentioned in the newsletters that I remember - Bob Wooden, Troy Puckett. I hope you all have a wonderful time and I am anxious to hear all about it.

My Father served aboard the Stoddard in around 1957-60 era. His name was Donald Bruce Hall. He was in radar operations.
My father was killed by a Drunk driver when I was 12. I would like his name to live on with this web site. I don't know how but I ended up as an air traffic control watching a radar scope myself. I just hope I make him proud.

I last visited the USS Stoddard in Long Beach in late 1977-early 1978. She had a bull's-eye painted on the side, and without fuel or water aboard, was bobbling alongside the pier from every wake in the harbor. It was a sad afternoon for me.

I was on the USS Stoddard DD566 from 1955 to 1958. I was a SK2

I was just surfing the net one night and came upon the military net so I just scrolled down and just put in some info., and this evening when I checked my e-mail I was surprised to see your mess. I am retired from the auto repair business.

Our home port was S.D. California. We were part of the 5th fleet at that time. I don't really remember to many of my shipmates- I do remember the 2nd time that we crossed the E-Q- we had a 90day wonder fresh from the ACADEMY. I am sure that he will never forget his becoming a SHELLBACK- I don't know if they still have the orientation the way we did back then or not- probably not. If you are ever in URBANA-CHAMPAIGN , ILLINOIS please look me up- I am in the phone book.

Discharged on June 2, 1954 and married my first wife two weeks later. I continued with math studies while working at Valvoline Oil Co in PA and received a high school diploma. Began evening studies at Geneva College, Beaver Falls, PA in the summer of 1955. Received BS Physics in June 1959. Attended graduate school at Case Western Reserve, Cleveland, OH and received an MS in Physics in 1963. Set up and taught a course in one of our county's first engineering oriented semiconductor teaching/research laboratory in 1964 in the Electrical Engineering Department of the Ohio State University (OSU). At the same time, continued studies and received PhD in Nuclear Engineering from OSU in 1971.

Met Marilyn while ice skating at OSU in 1972. We were married January 4, 1975 and she was "blessed" with an instant family of three children. By fall of 1976, we had a son, Timothy Joseph (TJ), and started our own company, Intek, Inc. the same year. Marilyn joined the business full time in 1989. We are in good heath and have "fun" working (we think) and for this reason, no longer seriously consider retirement. We do, however, "go" when we hear the call - and the most frequent call is a return to sea for me aboard our 42 ft yacht Harvest Moon, docked at various ports along the southeastern coast. We have four children Jodean (41), Brad (40, retired Navy), Brian (28, ex-Navy, BA) and TJ (21, now in graduate school at Univ. of Michigan as a candidate for a PhD in Electrical Engineering), and four grandchildren. We have attended and enjoyed the Stoddard Reunions since the third after seeing it's announcement in Tin Can Sailors. I am a life member of Tin Can Sailors and of the VFW Post 10047 North Las Vegas.

I ran one tour to Vietnam on Stoddard. We had a lot of problems with the radar going down as parts were in short supply. We came back to the states (San Diego) and were notified she was going to be decommissioned. I was on the crew for this event. I will never forget our trip from San Diego to San Francisco. I was on two other destroyers after Stoddard, the Kyes DD787 and Larson DD830.

Being the skipper of the USS Stoddard from 1955- 1957 was a true highlight of my Navy career that continued until 1967 when I decided to retire. She was an outstanding ship - mostly because her officers and crew were the best. While I know the whereabouts of very few of my Stoddard shipmates of my time, I will do what I can to get the word out to them. Any news about the reunions would be appreciated, including identification of when each attendee was on the ship, if that information is available. Congratulations for getting this project started - and with my thanks and appreciation for organizing the reunion.

After the Stoddard was decommissioned, I was discharged from the Navy July 30, 1946. I started farming the family farm in the fall of 1946. We retired in 1988 but still work the farm. My wife Lillie and I spend our winters in Arizona. We attended the first reunion in North Platte, NE. This reunion was instigated by Bob Pelster. We also attended the reunion in Fort Worth, TX. I regret that we cannot attend this reunion but I had a total knee replacement recently, I am doing fine. Hope you have a great reunion.

I was discharged in September 1954 and became a fireman with the Falmouth Fire Department where I stayed for 35 years. I enjoyed this service and was fascinated with arson investigation and the science of fire fighting.

I married Ann on 10 September 1956 and we have two children, Richard (41) living in Falmouth and Joan (39) whose home is in St. Petersburg, FL. We have two grandchildren. Ann and I like traveling the east coast to visit friends and family. Our real love is boating; we go north to Nova Scotia for the annual lobster festival, Martha's Vineyard is a usual weekly event between April and December. My golf outings have been reduced to 3 times a year; and after 16 years playing on the old timers hockey team, the skates are now hanging in the garage. I am a member of the Elks and the Fire Fighters Association. I learned about the Stoddard reunions through Joe Harpster.

The most interesting thing I think I experienced in this job was the rescue of the crew of a sinking Greek freighter in SE Asia. Patrolling the Straits of Formosa was also a little unnerving, given the tense situation that existed between Taiwan and China in 1962. After a year in one of the best jobs I had in 30 years in the Navy, I was assigned as the ASW Officer. The experience I gained in this job served me well throughout the rest of my career.

After the Stoddard, I served on 2 more destroyers, then switched to Engineering Duty, and for the next 20 years worked in Naval Shipyards and other industrial, ocean engineering and undersea warfare related jobs. I retired from the Navy in 1991 at the conclusion of my second shore command tour, and currently work for the Applied Research Lab, Penn State University.

Throughout my career Caroline and our four girls have followed me back and forth across the country and up and down the coasts. The first of our girls was born while I was assigned to the Stoddard, and we took her aboard on numerous occasions as a baby. All of our children have their own careers, respectively in nursing, veterinary medicine, chiropractic medicine and wildlife management. We are the proud grandparents of three boys and a girl.

My activities include golf, camping, diving and a variety of other activities, all of which I will be doing more of when I retire completely in the near future.

HI, THIS IS FORMER CREW MEMBER HARRY HOUSE SERVED ON THE DD 566 DURING THE LAST PART OF MY TOUR WITH THE NAVY. I CAME ABOARD IN 1958.

I BELIEVE AT VALLIJO, BUT I'M NOT TOO SURE ON THAT. MADE ONE AND HALF CRUSE ON HER TO JAPAN. WAS DISCHARGED AT DIEGO FEB 1960. SERVED IN THE DECK CREW AFT. ONLY GOT TO LEADING SEAMAN BUT WAS NOT WAR YEARS SO NO FAST RANKS. THE CAPTAIN WAS LT COMMANDER WILCOX I BELIEVE. MEMORY PLAYS TRICKS ON YOU BUT I'M SURE I'M RIGHT. MY FIRST PLACEMENT ON BOARD WAS TO SHARPEN KNIVES FOR THE CREW. DURING OUR PULLOUT FROM THE DOCK I CUT A HAUSER WHICH HAD BECOME STUCK ON A PILING. LATER THE CAPTAIN CHEWED ME OUT ROYALLY AND THEN TURNED AROUND AN THANKED ME FOR SAVING THE STERN FROM A COLLISION WITH THE DOCK. HE HAD APPLIED FULL AHEAD WHEN THE LINES WERE ORDERED REMOVED. THAT ALONE MAKES ME PROUD TO HAVE SERVED ON HER.
DURING THE BLOCKADE OF THE CHINA TO FORMOSA RUN NO ONE HAS STATED THAT WE WERE FIRED ON BY THE SHORE BATTERIES OF THE CHICOM. BET THAT IS NOT TO BE TALKED ABOUT.
THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER WAS THE DEPTH CHARGE RUN FOR THE ASST SEC OF NAVY, DISASTER WHEN A CHARGE WENT OFF UNDER THE STERN AND LIFTED IT OUT OF THE WATER ABOUT 25 FEET. WE ENDED UP IN DRY DOCK AND HAD TO RE-PLATE THE WHOLE STERN. COULD YOU FIND OUT HOW THE NEW SEAL HELD UP AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SPECIAL COMBINATION OF METAL. MY OTHER REAL MEMORY WAS CHIPPING PARTY ON THE MAIN DECK UNDER THE STARBOARD LOCKER FOR THE HEDGE-HOG AMMO LOCKER . I STUCK A CHIP HAMMER COMPLETELY THROUGH THE MAIN DECK. NO ONE HAD EVER CLEANED UP THERE AND THE RUST JUST KEPT GOING. WE HAD A HELL OF A MEETING ON THAT ONE.
THE CAPTAIN SURE THANKED ME ON THAT ONE TOO. HE WANTED ME TO REPORT TO HIM AFTER I WAS DISCHARGED BUT THE TIME THAT I HAD WOULDN'T LET ME DO IT. I HAD TO GET BACK TO ALASKA AND THE FLIGHT WAS ALL SET UP.
I NEVER DID FIND OUT WHAT HE WANTED TO SEE ME FOR, BUT I WAS PROUD AND STILL AM TO HAVE SERVED ON THE STODDARD. I WOULDN'T TRADE THAT FOR ANYTHING.
THANKS,
SEAMAN

I served on the USS Stoddard from July 1955 to November 1958, as BM3. I was on the 1957 cruise to Australia in memory of the Coral Sea battle. I served in the first division as BM3; was pointer in the 37 director during GQ; was on the hedge hogs during ASW. I met my wife Sumiko while on the Stoddard in Kobe Japan. We have been married 39 years, have two children - Shirley who is 36 and Raymond who is 31. I retired from Chrysler Boat and from the City of McKinney, Texas where I was supervisor of the waste water department.

Dan - Greetings from Ollala, WA. This is pretty strange. 15 minutes ago or so, I sent you a message about a Norwegian Nasty experience in the summer of 1969 aboard the Skrei. I attended the Naval Academy, graduating in 1970, and got out after completing my five year obligation. In the course of that relatively short career, I served on four vessels, the Norwegian vessels Skrei and Rokk, the USS Alexander Hamilton (SSBN 617) and the Stoddard.
During the summer of 1967, I was one of many midshipmen aboard Stoddard almost all of whom were having their first experience at sea. We slept in the focsle, learning the life of an enlisted man. It was supposed to teach us to be more effective officers and I fervently believe it did. You can imagine the grief we had to put up with, things like sailors telling all the women ashore that the blue rim around the top of our hats meant that we had VD. But we had a lot of fun, too. For example, I got drunk for the first time when I was on the Stoddard, a noteworthy event for a sailor. I have a lot of wonderful memories from that cruise nearly all of which were associated with the wonderful guys who made up the crew of the Stoddard. Thanks again for the memories.

I was in the US Navy in 1956, but was under age. Served a total of 6 years 3 months & 11 days. I was introduced to the Stoddard Alumni by my good friend and shipmate Ralph Moore. After the service, I drove a truck for 30 years, before my heart attack caused me to retire. Most recently (17 years) I worked for Walmart out of Bentonville, AR and Palestine TX.
