my dad was a machinist on the JCOwens from 1944-1946,I think. He then was on the USS Arkansaa BB33 in 1946. If there is any one who was on the ship when he was and remembers him, I would love to correspond. His name was Edward Hubsch and probably was known as Eddie "Hipps".

I've just returned home from the JC Owens 24th reunion which was held in Norfolk, VA. Thank you one and all for everyone's help, from the reunion planners, to the folks that help in the hospitality room. I know the tours were
a hit as the banquet was. It's the people that attend that
make it great. If you didn't make it this year, please plan
on being at our BIG 25th REUNION in Tuscon, AZ. in Oct.
Thanks again for another GREAT REUNION everyone.
