Eddie C. Bateson "I received an email from Eddie on Christmas Day 2002. He told me it was a hello and good-bye message. He said he had been diagnosed with lung cancer and had but a few weeks left and requested I strike his name from the Shipmate Email Roster. I told him I wouldn't remove his name until the appropriate time and listed him as 'temporarily off-line'. Sadly, that time has come.Although I only knew Eddie through emails, I always looked forward to his messages and input. He was one of the very first contributors to the Mansfield pages of my website. No more emails with his famous signoff: 'Cheers! ... Eddie.' Cheers to you shipmate. You will be missed." - Karl Kristiansen (65/66)
"My husband Eddie C. Bateson died on May 2, 2003 from lung cancer. Eddie was proud of his service on the Mansfield during the Korean War. He wore his Mansfield to his chemo treatments. I know hd did a lot of work for the Mansfield website and enjoyed the newsletter and Tin Can Sailor." - Mable Bateson |
Gilbert James Rue, Jr. "I am looking for any shipmates of my father, Gilbert J. Rue. He served in the Navy from 1969 to 1973 or 1974 aboard the Mansfield. I do not know if he served aboard any other ships, but I am certain of that one. He is listed in the USS Mansfield DD-728 1969-70 Cruise Book in the First Division. If anyone remembers 'Jim' or 'Jimmy' Rue from service out of Long Beach, California, please contact me. I would be interested in hearing from you. Thanks so much." - Lisa Dickson.

- "I met Charles shortly after arriving on the Mansfield and we became very good friends even though we came from far different backgrounds. I'm from Ohio and he from Texas. We spent many an evening at his sister-in-laws in California where I was accepted as one of the family. In fact, it was Charles who invited me to Texas when work was hard to find in Ohio. He also fixed me up with a place to live while waiting for my family to sell our house and get moved down. Since then, our families have been very close, and for the last few months of his life, we lived here in the same senior complex. He was a unique individual. I never heard him say a bad word about anybody. We enjoyed fishing together or just talking about the good old days. Along with B.W. (B. Walt Carter), they were two of the best friends any man could have." - Bruce Starkey
