My uncle is Eugene Wagstaff - a survivor - He has lived a long fulfilling
life and has many generations of boys that will survive him. I'm sure
glad he has been around to enjoy his family and friends. We just celebrated
his birthday.

Tim Underhill <onsenman99@hotmail.com>
from Portland, OR.
Mr. Crum,
Earlier this year, I saw an announcement for the
USS Underhill reunion, and an address and phone number to reply. I called
and told Paula who I was, and that I was interested in information about
the ship. Because I was going to be in NW Florida in Sep. of 98, I told
her I would call her then. We have since had the opportunity to meet,
and she has told me much about the very special crew members and their
families, who have kept the history of this unique ship going. And she
also told me about your web site, which my wife Anne found last week.
I do happen to be in the US Navy. I'm a Cryptologic Technican 2d Class,
or " CT". In WWII they were referred to as " radiomen" or " special
radiomen", but they did the same very important job of intercepting and
decoding electronic signals. My wife Anne was also a "CT" student here
in Pensacola before we were married, and my dad was a QM 3d Class in WWII.
He served on an escort carrier ( CVE 110), the Salerno Bay, performing
escort duty accross the Atlantic. His ship later went throught the Canal,
and was in San Diego, waiting to be part of the final envasion of Japan,
when the war ended. I've told other family members of your site, and will
continue to check on it from time to time. I don't have a computer of
my own right now, but you can still reach me at my e- mail address until
FEB 01 99. I'll soon be leaving here for my next duty station aboard
the USS Fife, ( DD 991 ), in Everett, WA., where Anne and I will be for
the next three years. If you'd like sir, I give my forewarding address
which you can utilize, after 10 FEB 99. Thank you for the effort you
have put into this site and helping to perpetuate the history, and lives
of the brave crew of the Underhill.
Sincerely,
CTR2 Tim Underhill, USN
909 West Mall Dr. # 1106

James H. Timberlake III <jht@vt.edu>
from Alexandria, VA
My father, James H. Timberlake, Jr., was an officer aboard LST-991 when
the UNDERHILL sank. They were transporting troops from the 96th to Leyte.
LST-991 was almost sunk when one of the Kaiten sub's passed right below
it. It seems the sub changed it's course for the larger UNDERHILL. The
sub pilot accomplished his goal and sank the UNDERHILL. My father's ship
rescued many of the survivors. In the log of survivors there is another
Timberlake, Joe H. Timberlake (not sure of any relation). Many brave men
lost their lives that day.

the Underhill sunk in 7/45. He asked me to check out this web site for
him and I printed all the copies for him.
He enjoyed reading all of

so by Emailing me

http://www.inct.net/~scottn3xcc
I am a grandson of one of the survivors left aboard the USS Underhill,
Michael G. Zimmerman. I have heard him talk about the ship and the sinking
of it. I am very thankful that he survived the incident, otherwise, I
wouldn't be on this earth today. I think you have a very nice site. the
pictures are especially nice, being I am not old enough to remember any
of those types of ships. One thing i didn't like however, was the time
it took to load the graphic and the news articles. the grapic should have
been it's own page and the articles should have been typed in instead
of actual scanned articles. These are just my opinions however. I will
tell my childern and my grandchildren about the stories of the USS Underhill.
Thank you for the webpage.
Sincerely,
M. Scott Zimmerman

Your site is fantastic! My father was a survivor of the USS Underhill.
I was looking to find information that he may enjoy reading about his
ship when I found this site. My father's name is Michael G. Zimmerman
and is listed on your register as a survivor. If anyone would like to
contact my father, you may send mail to him at: 630 Barnett Road, Boswell,
PA 15531-3004. He recently had triple bypass surgery (12/18/98) and
would enjoy hearing from any of his fellow shipmates, families or friends
as he recouperates.

My Dad Howard Tampke was the Gunnery Officer under Nathanial Benchley
and witnessed the sinking of the Underhill because his ship was part of
the Convoy. He is mentioned in N. Benchley's story Sorry No Ice Cream.
My Dad is a healthy 79 and I will certainly print as much of this information
for as possible.
