Sandy,

Thanks to the help of my cousin I found this web site. I have been trying to find information or someone to talk to that remembers my dad. His name was Charles Arthur Swearingen and he served aboard the USS Salt Lake City - not sure what dates. Anyway, please post a message for me. I would love to hear from anyone that remembers him and hear their stories!

Thanks for the website. I have a lot more to read and find it very interesting.

You don't know how much this means to me! I will gather all of the information I can from my Mom and grandmother.

My father died January 11, 1982 at the age of 59 (heart attack). He had four children (the eldest is deceased). I am the youngest and the only girl. My Mom has pictures so will try to get them to you as soon as possible.

Please add me to your update list and send the information regarding the discharge papers.

Thanks again for the information. You made my day.
Dottie Swearingen, Dau.
