Comments: Uptown left Korea shortly after I came aboard. Went thru Pearl to Calif. Yard period in Long Beach then through the canal and yard period in Philly. Med cruise. Somtime in there was a Gitmo test and a St. Laurence run to Quebeck. While I was aboard, Christmas presents were sent to the Sullivan brothers parents. The last time the parents requested that we do not send any more because it brought back too many memories.

Comments: My father in law Bill Stoddard served on the Juneau sometime between 1945 and 1947. He is in a nursing home and not doing real well but started talking about his time in the Navy and his time on the Juneau during a Thanksgiving dinner this past week.

I started to do a little research and came across this website and wondered if there was any chance of finding out when exactly he served on the Juneau and where they traveled when he was on board. He said something about fighting or watching Tito. I took this to mean they were watching Tito in Yugoslavia.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
