The HIGHLINE NEWSLETTER for Mid-2008 - Reunion News.
Here is a nifty shot of O'Callahan after transfer to Pakistan !
Be sure check the Blog for news too. Audio histories recorded at the reunion are also in the BLOG. They are worth your time to listen.
Joe Allen Found an excellent story about the man in costume in This picture. Every Thursday, Richard Simms picks up 4 doz. fried pies from Mindy Lu's and 4doz. cinnamon rolls from Ginger Brown's Old Tyme Restaurant . He then takes them to the USO/ DFW Airport. The soldiers love them. What an honor to play banjo for the troops . . (note edited from a message received from - Richard Don Simms, From Ft. Worth,Texas) . Oh! The owners donate the sweets.
Richard Simm's father died in the bomb attack on the USS Franklin in March of 1945. Father O'Callahan (USS O'Callahan) was awarded the medal of honor for his efforts on that day and his story is told in this website by Bob Blanchard, a survivor. Richard is also featured at SUPPORT OUR TROOPS. Visit the site. It is worth it.
This is a great story about the little things Mr. Simms does to cheer up the troops in today's generation of heroes. (A letter to Mrs. Simms - view here) text : Dear Mrs. Simms,
I have sent you via Navy Draft a longer but general letter. I wish here to express by personal sympathy at the loss of your husband. May God ease your sorrow. Joseph T. O'Callahan ... ...
You MUST see this photo of Richard as a little boy with his dad.
