| Message | Thamer E. Spainhour was my father. I noticed you have him listed as evacuated. He actually left with the Marblehead and made the voyage to Brooklyn. There is also a book you should add "The Fleet the gods forgot". It documents the Asiatic Fleet during the war. |

| Message | Researching Patrol Wing TGENH, and all aviation elements in the Asiatic Fleet 1939-1942. I've sent you a note on the MOUNT VERNON deck log and MARBLEHEAD survivors, and I am still looking for any dope, photos, descriptions, info on people involved with the cruiser's two Curtiss SOC Seagull Floatplanes during the campaign. Aviation rates show up, but aircrew qual'd radiomen of the day do not. Cheers, Lou |

| Message | My parents lived just above Dr. Wassell and his wife in Key West, Florida. My father was a young officer straight out of Annapolis and my mom a young bride. The Wassell's befriended them and in a way looked after them. My parents who are in their 80's now have spoken very highly of the Wassell's and how Dr. Wassell never considered himself a war hero. |

| Message | I have researched the Asiatic Fleet, the ABDA Campaign and Patrol Wing TEN for many years - the MARBLEHEAD saga is a story worth telling. I'd be interested in any information, accounts, photos of aviation personnel and the ships floatplanes. I'm ex-Navy myself, and appreciate a little of what those fellow endured. MARBLEHEAD carried two Curtiss SOC Seagull floatplanes, and senior aviator was LT Edward Martin Blessman. Besides the other aviation rates aboard (AMM, AOM, etc.), there were likely some radiomen who were aircrew qualified. Can anyone ident them? |

| Message | My father, Jarett Amous Richardson from Mississippi, served on the Marblehead from 1938-1945. His rank was FC1c(M). He was very proud of his service and that of his ship and shipmates. His fondness for them all was always apparent when he spoke of his years in the Navy. |

| Message | I had one cousin on the USS Marblehead and one on the USS Houston. Dallas Egelston was injured but got back to port. He was on the USS Marblehead. My other cousin was on the USS Houston. He survived the attack, but was picked up by the Japanese and spent the rest of the war as a POW. These were brothers and were in the same battle in the Java sea. |
