"I have been looking for Pete (allen t. peterson) for a long time. I was stationed with allen in squadron VAH two. We spent a lot of time in Subic Bay,Philippines. Allen was sent home for discharge from the Philippines. I didn't come home till some time later. I was discharged at NAS Whidbey Is., WAsh. I one time hitch hiked around the country and stopped to visit Allen at Madison, wis. I had a great time there and had dinner with his grandparents at their home. I am glad that I got to spend some time with him before we got old. Another shipmate gone. My name is Melvin L. Russell address is 355 ayres rd.
