To Bill Jolliff:
Your first post mentions that you served on USS Butner, a troop ship during the 1950's. In early 1953 my father, 1st Lt Bill Day USAF, was posted to a iistening post in the Fulda Gap. Dad was a WWII Army vet, enlisted then, then went to college on the GI Bill and ROTC. He was recalled for the Korean War, then stayed in.
My mother and I joined him later in 1953 and were shipped over to Bremerhaven on Butner. I was 6 years old and my mother's diary mentions the ship's sailors playing with the kids. we returned from Germany in 1956 and flew then, hoping across to Iceland and Gander.
A small world sometimes. Thanks for your service .
