It is good to be back
at Sampson after 60 years. Boot Camp Company 133 Bldg C13
(unless my memory is failing me)Remained there for RM school and
then on to Sub School at New London. Then it was off to the
southwest Pacific enjoying a leisurely cruise around the oceans
- unless there was a slight interruption by the enemy. All in
all - had a great time. Nice web site |

It's been a long time
since I signed in last. 06/05/99. Since then a lot has happened.
I am a plank member of Sampson WWII Company 370. and this year
our ship the U.S.S. Everett F. Larson DD-830 donated a bench for
the Brig. We had a lot of Plank owners of this ship that went
through boots at Sampson and are proud of it. The ship has
reunions every year in different locations, look in the veterans
mags.for information, we want you. We had a few people that went
through boot camp with me from roop,PA- Scranton, PA. and other
locations. We graduated in June of 1945. and I alone went to
Boston to catch my ship. Name in boot camp, Peter W. Kopestonsky |
