[StartQuote] Hello Frank, I've not had a chance to view msgs since early this month, and find many that interest me (as is usual). Thank you ALL for the wealth of information found on this board! I love history and the stories here truly bring it alive. I'm still attempting to obtain details of my father-in-law's time in the Navy and with PT's. Things I read here and share with him help to jog his memory a bit. He is recovering from a recent stroke - and now doing much better - long term memory still good. Frank, your reply on subj: Mios Woendi, indicated you had some photos of the area and some of the boats. My father-in-law, Bill R. Tatroe, on his 2nd tour with PT's was with 16-B at the 'Windy Island' from Aug-1944 to Sep-1945. He was assigned to the PT-299, but more often was on the 300 or 301 boats riding as RM1c with the skipper James Van Sicklen. He was 50' away from the 301 boat when it exploded at the dock on 7-Nov 1944. Just before the rons moved up to Leyte Gulf, he was transferred to Base #21 as a high-speed circuit operator (only he and Chief Tillack knew how to make it work). Otherwise, he may have been on the 300 when it got hit?? Was wondering Frank if you'd have any photos of these 3 boats, and any of the radio shack or other features around Woendi that you could share? Will fwd my e-mail when you get a chance to reply. Thank you! Randy Finfrock[EndQuote]
