| Message | I am Otto Schwarz's sister. No one can be any prouder of him than I am. He was a special and humble man. He tried so hard to keep the memory of the USS Houston and her crew alive and I know he thought of them until the day he went to be with those who went before him. He was proud of everyone of his crew. May God bless tnose that are still with us. |

| Message | I found this site by accident and thought I would write. My step-father was on the USS Houston when it sank and was picked by the Japanese and taken to a camp... he was injured building the bridge and remained until the war was over. He lived in Eugene, Oregon. On the 20th or 25th anniversary he was interviewed and the article was on the front page of the Eugene Register Guard. He died many years ago from Hodgkins Lymphoma. His name was Robert V. Lamb. Maybe someone knows of him... Thank you.. Jade Blackeagle |

| Message | My uncle Joseph Caplicki went down on the Houston, 3/1/42. I was involved in trying to get information and having obtained some, slowly gave up. I don't understand that if you give the government a name, date of death, ship, why you can't get information from a service record...I will never know his service number, only that he was born in 1914 or 1915. With a last name like that, how hard can it be to find a record? only a couple of family members left that remember him, they have no specifics..Anyone out there can give me any suggestions? Thanks in advance |

| Message | Hi Lori, Did your father have any information on any of the Boatswainmates...my Uncle was S 1/c boatswainmate...he may have worked for your father!? His name was Lawrence Kondzela...There's a biography on him in the crew biographies if you would like to check out his story. |

| Message | Hi Lori, Thanks for responding to my request...unfortunately I did contact my Congressman and he did absolutely nothing to help. You see my Uncle didn't survive the POW camp and they said there was no real evidence that he had been wounded before he died. I was so mad that they didn't consider the horrible atrocities all the POW's endured...whether they survived or not. So the government said he was not eligible for a purple heart. We were able to get all his other medals though. I wish I could get the Purple Heart for him (and my Mom who is now 82 years old...she was very close to her brother and always felt he was a hero). It's sad to think the only thing his family got from his death was a $1000.00 insurance policy, that he took out and paid premiums on himself!! If you or anyone has any more suggestions please drop me an e-mail. Thanks... |
