I stumbled across this post after checking on the status of the Lost 52 Project which is searching for the final resting place of lost subs to include the USS Barbel. My grandfather, Gunner's Mate, Third Class William Grinn Stewart perished onboard and his name is listed on the memorial. My father never knew him as he passed away while my father was a baby and our last names are different as my father was adopted by his stepfather. Thanks again for posting. -Major B.

Her Boy Friend a Marine came home on leave, they got married and that stopped her going to the NCO club at the airbase. My father Robert Sherrard retuned to the Pacific for the invasion of Saipan, Tinian, and Okinawa. He returned after the war in 1946 to Casper and the rest is history. There is a great museum there. I am researching about a B-17 that crashed near Edgerton, Wyoming into a field and it was buried onsite in a ravine. The mayor of Edgerton knows the approximate location of the crash and I piece of the plane is in the museum in MidwestInvertebratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751095866356055192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320911918938973856.post-21295324936696251812020-05-20T09:45:15.185-07:002020-05-20T09:45:15.185-07:00I grew up in Casper in the 50s and 60s and remembe...I grew up in Casper in the 50s and 60s and remember the standard oil refinery and the numerous tank and tank farm up on the sand hills.

I was actually named after my great uncle, MoMM2 Otto Miles Peckins (some in the family spell it "Peckins and other factions spell it "Peckens". My mother gave me my middle name of Miles in his honor. I can't wait to tell her about this site. I know we have old photos and letters while at sea, along with a brief history we can send.
