Looking for any of my friends that I worked with on Kwajalein in 1959 for the Transport Company of Texas, Aviation Division. I worked on the flight line as a mechanic, refueled and service. It has been so many years that I forgot the names of my friends, but if I hear of one I will remember it.  Joan Kosola > Email
Searching for Steve Cole  I was on Kwajalein from Aug 1991 to Aug 1993, and worked at AFRTS as a Radio/TV Operator.

Any information about his whereabouts would be appreciated.  Mark Wernimont > Email.

Looking for Roi-Namur Friends & Associates  I worked for the Kwajalein Police Department from the end of 1994 to the end of 1994. I spent some time on Kwaj at DSC, but most of my time I worked on Roi-Namur. My time there will always be remembered as the most interesting work, and life ever. I what I loved about Roi, was the commodore there of the police detachment, as well as the people as a whole. I loved working with the Raytheon and Johnson Controls employees.  If you know how to reach the following people (who originally worked and lived on Roi), I would love to hear from them, and/or e-mail them to catch them up on my life and things since the RMI:
  1. There was a couple from Massachusetts who worked on Roi. I believe they both had attended MIT. One was over the travel arrangements, and the other I think handled security. I've forgotten their names, but both were really nice people and I would love to hear from there.
     
  2. There was a older man named Pat, but I don't remember his last name. I think he did a lot of travel to Pohnpei and Thailand. I would love to know how he is doing as well.
     
  3. Also there was a man named Dennis, but I don't remember his last name either. He loved to hold outside barbecues. I remember he was a really nice guy too.
     
  4. Calvin Green -Raytheon
     
  5. Hector Garcia - Roi Police Department
     
  6. Art LeBeau - Roi Police Department

I would like to locate or know the last name of an artist, first name Erin that may have lived at Kwaj in the 70s & 80s timeframe.

Searching for the bicycle regulations used at USAKA   I last visited there in 1989 for an inspection of the US Army Civic Action Team on Google.  These rules were in a welcome package for visitors as I remember they were pretty stringent.

Looking for folks that remember Lewis (Lew) Elias  My name is Parker Binder and I am the 55 year old daughter of Lewis (Lew) Elias. Dad is 96 years old and amazingly, still lives almost independently (with some assistance from family!) in a retirement home in Winston-Salem, NC. He retired from Western-Electric about 35 years ago but was stationed twice on Kwaj by Western Electric as a technical writer, when I was a teenager. Each time he was there for about 6 months, I believe. At one time, Western Electric asked him to do a 3-year tour there and our whole family was going to accompany him for this time period. We were so excited! (vacations in Hawaii!). Right before we were to leave and start this new adventure, we were notified that there was no housing available for our large family, after all. (I have 3 siblings) so there were 6 of us, and dad had to go alone for another 6 month tour.  I believe he was last there for a 6 month tour between 1969-71. Dad has dementia now and his short term memory is very poor but he still loves to talk about his wonderful and interesting experiences on Kwaj. My dad’s hobby was amateur radio (ham) and I remember receiving weekly two way radio calls patched in from him while he was on the island... Each child would talk to dad, and when we were through, would say “over” …and then dad would talk….as children, we thought this was pretty neat!  I wanted to share this with you and to ask if there is a way to see, if through your communications, we could find out if any folks that access the website there might remember my father… Thank you and all for sharing your memories with the rest of us – Parker Binder > email.
Could you help me identify the ship at Kwajalein?  My parents would like to get with friends of Kwaj during the years 1960-61.  I am hoping you can help me. I am putting together a family album. My grandparents, OD and Yvonne Herron, were on the Island in 1960-61, my grandfather worked with the missiles as a contractor. My mother was a teen going over there and she met and married my dad (a sailor) there.  They were married Aug 12, 1960.  Anyway, all that aside, I have a photograph of a Japanese ship I was hoping to identify. I've included two pictures of the ship I am interested in. It may no longer be visible as it was then. Is there any record of the sunken ships names?  I know about the Prinz Eugene, I have that one, but I can find nothing else.  I would love to be able to put my parents in touch with someone from their past.  Thank you!  Juli, JnJWollam@aol.com

Is there anyone on Kwajalein that you know that could get me the last name of Nishi?  The gentlemen that use to take care of the Data Center on Kwajalein?  I'm sure he is no longer there but someone may be able to give us his last name.  He was in his late 60's or 70's when I was out there in the 80's.  He is in so many of my memories of Kwajalein that I would like to write them down for my family.  Regards, Jake, email: jakekoller@windstream.net.

Missing Person From Long Ago
I am looking for someone who can help find a missing person.  My father, in the Navy, was there at the end of WWII and left behind a native girl carrying his child. I have copies of the ships daily report and it shows that all of his shore leave was at Kwajalein and Tarawa.  Before my father passed away he gave me his wish that I find the girl and the child if they still live.  I have a picture of the lagoon near where she lived and pictures of the girl herself with my father.  My dad told me that before he shipped home the girl was carrying his child. I am looking for the girl or the child or both. The baby would have been born in late 1946 or early 1947. Dad shipped home in June of 1946. I would love to share memories with my sibling.  Can you help me locate this person or put me in touch with someone who can help?  Thank you for any help you can offer.

Wetzel, was stationed on Kwaj in '70.  He was the Air Force liaison stationed there and we lived for 3 glorious years on that lovely island.  We lived across from the community pool on the ocean side off the main drag.  I don't remember the names of the roads, heck it's been almost 30 years since I was there.  Here's is the root of my message.  My father was an avid diver. He and a few of his buddies discovered a propeller blade off of one of the wrecks in the lagoon.  Over the period of many dives, they filled drums with compressed air in an attempt to recover the blade. Ultimately, the blade was recovered and placed outside the dive hut.  I'm wondering if someone who has a picture of this artifact.  I don't know if it's still there but I'd like to think that it's still in it's place there.  My father has since passed on and this is one of the things that brings memories of him back to me. If someone can help me out I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks for your wonderful web site.  Best Regards, Matt Wetzel, mattwetzel@cfl.rr.com or Matt.Wetzel@esecurityinc.com.

Looking for my Uncle Ernest Mark  Hello and would like applaud you for a wonderful website you have. I’m looking for my Uncle Ernest Mark whom moved there a long time ago.

Looking for a uncle that we have not seen since 1988 when my grandparents passed away.  He left the USA about 1977.  I know that since 1977 he has lived in the Marshall Islands.  The last time I saw him I was 15 so I might be a little fuzzy on the details but I think he said that he had married a girl by the name of Selena and he had 7 kids.  His name is John Richard Jubell.  His older brother (my Father) will be turning 60 in 2003.  I would like to surprise him for his birthday and have all 6 of his siblings with him on that very special day.  I am not sure that he would come even if I found him but at least we would now if he was still alive.  I am now married and have two children.  If  he would not like to come back at least we might be able to get an address to send letters and photographs.  If you could look in your local phone book and get me a phone number to call whether it be the local authorities or his I would be very grateful. Thank you, God Bless, Robin Jubell - Davis, trdavis@pionet.net
Lost Dog Tags  I lost my Dog Tags (H. H. Hice) in the Jap raid on Roi-Namur Feb.12, 1944. If group does any excavating on Roi-Namur and finds any Dog Tags with my name on them, I would love to get them back. They would still be in good shape because at that time they were made of Brass.  Thank you, Herbert H. Hice, herbiger@comcast.net
