| Shipmates and Friends of Chief Warrant Carpenter Robert (Bob) Froemming | NoSpam_ThorneF@aol.com | Son | I am looking for anyone who may have known my father, Chief Warrant Carpenter Robert (Bob) Froemming. He served in USS Pennsylvania from 2/14/44 until the ship was taken in for repairs after the attack at Buckner Bay. He worked in the Damage Control Division (not sure which Div was in charge of that). My father passed away in 1969 (I was way to young to either understand or appreciate the sacrifices you all made at that time) so I was never able to talk to him about his experiences. I am a retired Chief Gunner's Mate (missiles) having served 24 years on active duty. The only name I ever heard him mention was "Sy" (guessing at the spelling) who was apparently a DC phone talker. My father's second wife disposed of all his mementos after his passing and I am very interested in learning about his time on the Pennsylvania. I know that he served in the USS Blackhawk and USS Otus prior to his tour in Pennsylvania, but he only talked about Pennsylvania. Any information is greatly appreciated. My email is ThorneF@aol.com. Thank you |

Jones | Son | I am looking for anyone who may have known my father, Walter Edwin Jones, who was apparently on the Pennsylvania during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

| Jack Howard Kehoe | Greg Kehoe | Son | I am trying to find any shipmate or information on my father who was on the Pennsylvania sometime between 1943-1944. My father did not talk about his Navy days very often but I do know that he was in several campaigns in which he was nearly killed. Can you please help me get some information? His name is Jack Howard Kehoe. He was killed in a plane crash in 1986 and my family and I are trying to get some information about when he served in the Navy. |

| Shipmates and Friends of Robert Eugene KENNEDY (Shorty) Seaman 2nd Class | Karolyn Kennedy Witte | Daughter | My dad was Robert Eugene KENNEDY (Shorty) Seaman 2nd Class aboard USS Pennsylvania until 30 Nov 1934 when he was discharged. I need to find more information about him during that time and afterward when he lived in Long Beach CA and worked at Douglas Aircraft during the war. I would like to hear from anyone who might have know him because I was told he was married during the time he was in the service and would like to find out more about him during this timeframe. Shortly after leaving the service he was robbed and hit over the head with a lead pipe and had very little memory of his earlier life. I am his daughter and remember after his naval days that he had buddies who would come and visit. Please Contact Karolyn if you have info. |
| Shipmates, 5th Division | Dave Holmberg | Russell Nuzum's Nephew | I wish to find shipmates or anyone who may have known my uncle who served aboard the Pennsylvania during 1943 - 1945. Or if someone could tell me about the 5th division which is the one in which he served. His name was Russell Nuzum and he died some years ago without really saying much about his service during the war except to show us some pictures when I was very young. I believe his battle station was at one of the AA guns somewhere around the beam of the ship (at least according to another of my uncles). Thank you Dave Holmberg. |

| Glenn Jim - 5th division | Clyde Copley | Shipmates | My name is Becky Dant and I emailed a couple of weeks ago about a crewman by the name of Glenn Jim that my father, Clyde Copley, knew aboard ship. Dad has very little to go on except that Mr. Jim was his gunner's mate and was in the 5th Division. Dad remembers he was a Hopi Indian and that he left before 1945. Any information that can be found on this crewman would be appreciated! My father spent a Sat. afternoon with me looking over the website. It was really interesting listening to his recollections as we reviewed the War History and the 5th Division Photo (of which he has a copy, but does not include names). He explained photos of Buckner Bay (after the torpedo) and recalled the efforts to stabilize the ship. Thanks for all the hard work that has been put into this wonderful site! Again, we appreciate any information you ( or anyone else) may uncover regarding Glenn Jim. Thanks, Becky Dant |
