The tales he told, as matter of fact, were tales of bravery and heroism. Your account has refreshed his stories in my mind and I thank you for your devotion to the task of adding this small fleet to our history. Is there any where I can access the personnel records outside of "Ancestry.com"? His name was/is Frank Stodgel or Stogel perhaps. I have no idea what ship or unit he was assigned to, nor do I have any contact for him. Thanks I had a friend that was once a part of the small boat minesweeping operation off Korea.
