Rodney Hodnett wrote on 2009-07-20 10:20:20.0
Comments: My father, Floyd Hodnett Cpl.(T), served from 1950-1952. He was from West Point, Mississippi. He was in the 3rd armored division, Battery "C", 57th FA Bn. I was wondering if anyone remembered him. He did not talk about the war very much and I would like to know the details of what he went through and guys that served with him. My first name is Rodney and I think I was named after one of his buddies who got killed. Sure would like to hear from someone even if you didn't know him.

Comments: Hi, I'm looking for any information on "Jerry the Tramp". That is how he signed his paintings. He was a soldier that served in Korea along with my dad, Chaplain Gerald Weaver in 1953 or so. He used to paint naked ladies on the lockers for the soldiers.
My dad got tired of seeing all the scantily clad paintings, so he asked him to paint something more inspiring. Jerry painted a head of Christ, which my dad used to decorate the chapel tent used out in the "field" of Korea. My dad was stationed near the 38th parallel with the 57th field artillery of the 7th Infantry Division.
When he came back to the USA, he had the painting hanging in his office study for many years. He finally gave the painting to me a few years ago, but, I don't have any place for it. I'm an artist myself and don't have enough room for my own paintings.
My dad is 91 years old now and still doing well. I asked him if he knew more about Jerry the Tramp, and he didn't remember his real name, or where he might be now.
I would like to sell the painting of his head of Christ, but, wanted to know the historic story about it. If you know anything about "Jerry, the Tramp" soldier artist, please contact me!

Munro Sickafoose wrote on 2007-12-21 16:18:02.0
Comments: My father, Keith Sickafoose, served as forward observer, reconnaissance officer, liaison officer with an infantry battalion, and battalion S2 in the 57th Field Artillery Battalion supporting the 7th Infantry Division in Korea. He was there from sometime in early-mid 1950 to December of 1951. He died young in 1969 when I was just 16 - before I ever got a chance to really talk with him. I'm trying to find out more about his time in Korea from anyone who may have known him.
Many thanks.
