[StartQuote] Jerry and Frank Good morning and thanks for your replies. Your explanation of furas sounds good. My dad's records make it seem as though he was in limbo for about four months before being assigned to RON 24, so awaiting FURther ASsignment would make sense. As to Bulkeley being a photographer, I found a couple of references. The first is in the book [b]Searching for John Ford - A Life[/b] [url]http://books.google.com/books?id=2ZrqhjIvYcYC&pg=PA401&lpg=PA401&dq=john+ford+bulkeley&source=bl&ots=qrS61KNtup&sig=PsRjXJj5dpSPGgGERDGshLowB0I&hl=en&ei=GvMaTvTbNMnEgQf7vM38Dw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CB8Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=john%20ford%20bulkeley&f=false[/url] The second is from a crewman on the 504, but I actually found it on a website about the sinking of the USS Rich. [url]http://www.informediate.com/USSRichDE695/Experiences/MelvinCarlson.htm[/url] Incidentally, this particular web page is what sparked my interest in my father's wartime experiences. He told me when I was a child that he had spent the entire war in Miami, and I never pursued it any further. A few years ago, while fooling around on the computer, I decided to Google my last name. Image my surprise when that story popped up! Thanks again Keith[EndQuote]
