Welcome to the USS John W Thomason DD-760 Guestbook Forum

Years Served: 1952-53…I was on Guam for two years and then went aboard the Thomason as ET2 for the last eight months before mustering out in mid 1953. Went on to college (Miami U, Ohio) and graduate school (Yale) to work in physics; since 1962 have been on the faculty of University of Michigan. Am currently entering retirement in order to spend full time on commemorative sculpture.

Years Served: 1953-1957…Hello there folks;

I served on the JWT from 1962 to 1964. Last rate was RM3. Was hoping to get in touch with a shipmate before we get too old. Ha. Telephone 601-398-7714. If my phone blocks you leave a voice mail. Thanks. Hope I can hear from one of you tin can men.

My father -in-law is Peterson, Melvin R. He served on the USS John W. Thomason during the Korean War in the engine room. If you remember him and have any stories the family would greatly appreciate them. Mel will be turning 90 on 3 May.
Thank you,
Al
