Joe Rley,
My name is Lisa Nowhitney My dad is looking to contact you....His name is John Nowhitney. He can be reached at 1-607-431-2524. Can you give him a call?

""My dad, Harold W. Russell, who served on the Belleau Wood during WWII passed away 11/22/2005, he was 82. He always talked about his Navy days with such pride. He was a dedicated member.

This past week, my mother, Harold's wife, passed away on 9/1/2009 at 85. She is now at peace with him in heaven.

They will be inurned in October at the Long Island National Cemetary, Farmingdale, N.Y.

God Bless them both.

Robert Russell"Dear Robert I am sorry about the loss of you parents.
I was on the flight deck aboard Belleau Wood for about 2 years
during WWII. She was a truly fighting ship. I know that
you were very proud of your Dad and loved you mother much.
Best wishes to you and yours.
In faith
Joe Riley
