| Message | May 25, 2007 I am the niece of Charles L. Spencer, who did not survive the attack on the USS Houston in 1942. Charlie grew up in Olympia, Washington and had a very special smile - always cheerful, with a great sense of humor. My father told me that Charlie was a gunner on the Houston, possibly on the forward guns. He was only twenty-one years old at the time of his death. Many years later, I named my son Charles Drury in memory of this brave sailor. Today, as we enter the Memorial Day weekend, I'd like to offer my heartfelt thanks to all the brave men who fought in World War II. I am grateful to live in such a great county. God bless them all for the hardships they faced to keep those at home safe. If anyone reading this has any information or knowledge of Charles LaRoy Spencer, I would love to hear from you at [email protected]. Thank you. |
