What a surprise to find this website. I served from 2/15/54 to 5/25/57 having lived at Van Horne, Iowa. My first ship was the LSD1083 Plumas County. I was an SKG3 aboard the Belle Grove. I will keep checking for ship rosters.

Hello all! Thanks so much for the great attendance in Albuquerque. We had such a wonderful time hosting you all. We were sad to see everyone go home! Can't wait until next year's reunion in Branson!

Just wanted to share some news...Troy and I learned that we are expecting a baby BOY! We are so excited. And we will be naming him JAKE (Jacob). ;) So, when you see us next, we will have two Jake's with us...the big one and the little one. Jake Hamby is due on January 24, 2011.

Hi all,
Another hot humid day in Iowa, and the weather doesn't seem to look much better the rest of the week. Of course, it won't because the Iowa State Fair starts this Thursday for 11 days. We have the camper parked along with 4,000 other nuts! Ha! We will go up and stay starting this Wednesday evening. The logbook will be printed while we are there, and as soon as we get home, I will get it in the mail. Anyway, another reason I'm on the website, is to tell you that Mr. Les has a 70th this coming Sunday, we have a big surprise party planned for him here at the house. It has been tough keeping this quiet, but so far so good. Anyway, if you want to shout out at him with a card, that would be kind. Our address is 5699 Ford St. Norwalk, Iowa 50211. Take care and have a good rest of the summer. Thank you,
Janet

Dear Belle Grove Family--Thank You! Thank You! for the great birthday card signed by so many of you. I do appreciate your thoughtfulness. What a joy to know I have such special friends. It has been almost 10 months since Jack died and I'm tryng to "let go of what might have been and accept what is." Adjusting to life without him and being alone is taking time. I'm hoping I can attend the reunion in Branson next year. Again, Thank You Love 'n Hugs Donna Larson

Hi,
Hope all of you have arrived safely home. We arrived in Norwalk at 10:00 pm last night, 631 miles froom Albuquerque to Iowa. We stopped in Kansas City to visit with our son for about 2 hours. Wow! What a great reunion that the Lopez and Greigo families provided for the shipmates and righthanders. From the beautiful mountains, Turquoise Trail, shopping and wonderful hotel,tram ride, which Jake helped to build into the mountain side, breathtaking view of Albuquerque, couldn't have been better. The tours were fantastic, with Santa Fe and the churches and of course shopping in Old Town, Captial, and Canyon Road, museums, and the Acoma Indian Pueblo village. A true history of the Native American lives from the past years ago. Very humbling. Hospitality room and the Hotel folks treated us all like Kings and Queens, whatever we needed they were right there. Raffle and Auction another success, thank you to all of you who attended, you are what makes these reunions move and go. Hopefully you are planning for the journey to Branson, MO. September 4, 2011

Sat 10 July 2010 Reid passed away. It was quick and peaceful and I was holding his hand. Our daughters Barbara and Christine are at home now planning his ceremony for Fri July 23. He will have a full Military
Funeral Service. We have been sharing Navy stories and
how much we enjoyed being with the Belle Grove Reunion with all of you in Las Vegas in 2000, when we had our 50th wedding anniversary. I will keep in touch and try to make another reunion. Love to you all, Norma

I should have included his name, that would've helped. His name is Robert Francis and he was a Ship fitter 1st class.
