Dear Mr. Weston, Thank you for keeping up the website and for the newsletters. I enjoy reading about the ship my father served on as well as the men of the USS Stevens. I was saddened to hear about Mr. Lappen's passing. I will never forget his kind words about my father at the Pittsburgh reunion several years ago. He was a classy gentleman, as were all of the men we were fortunate enough to have met. Best wishes. John Lydon

In addition to what my sister Claudia Ostrow wrote, our father's name is Leo Ostrow. I really hope that there is someone out there that served with him and remembers him. Thank You

I recently found out that my father served abord the USS Stevens from 1943 through 1945. My father rarely speaks about his time the military often stating "it was a job that had to be done and life went on after it." I have always thought my father was my hero but now even more. If anyone remembers serving with him or has any pictures I would love to be able to share those memories with my children. Thank

My grandpa, James L. Odom, Jr. served as a Radarman on the USS Stevens. I am sad to say he passed away July 9, 2011. There was a photo of the USS Stevens by his side during the funeral service.

I am the son of Charles E. Rausch who served on the USS Stevens in the South Pacific from 1944 to 1946. I am sorry to report that my father passed away in his sleep on July 12, 2011. He was 85 years old. My father loved going to the reunions for those who served on the USS Stevens and was very proud to be a part of the USS Stevens family.

I am the grandson of Bobby M. Bunker, Watertender 1c, who was aboard the U.S.S. Stevens. My grandfather lives in Coos Bay, Oregon. All of my life I have listened to the stories about the Stevens. Until this website by Mr. and Mrs. Weston, they were just stories to me. To all of the men who have served in the United States Military,..."God Bless You", and thank-you!

It has been a long, long time since I have been in touch with the men of the Stevens. I must say that it was a distinct honor to have served as the reunion chairman for so many times. I think you all know my wife, Charis who was with me at so many of the reunions. She is now in a nursing home (God love her) but I am not allowed to see her because I had an argument with the nurse supervisor. It will be straightened out very shortly when we go before the judge. She often talks about the people from the Stevens. Take good care now. There are only a few of us left now.
