Mr. Clifford,
My grandfather was a Torpedoman's Mate, 3rd class.He served on a PT Boat in the Phillipines from 43-44.He was in the USS Osyterbay.I am working on a scrap book to take to his naval reunion in October and any info you would have concerning PT Boats would be helpful.He passed away last August, and we did talk alot about his Naval days, however, when someone's gone, you realize, you left out tons of questions that you reqretfully never asked.He did say he lived on barges in the Phillipines and went thur Leyte, Guam, many others....He was older than alot of his peers and they called him "Pappy."If you can shed any insight on PT Boats, etc.. please do so.You can email me @ [email protected] name was Frank D. Prewitt.He was from Alabama.
