Hello,
I have some WWII photos of the Higbee taken from the USS DeHaven DD-727 during a mail transfer. If you are interested I can send them to you.
Scott Martin
Here they are. Please credit Ltjg. David Oppenheimer for the photos. The mail bag was lost during the transfer from the Higbee to the DeHaven. The DeHaven found the bag about an hour later.

Love a guy in a uniform, well without a shirt too! Saturday, February 13th: The Higbee had 8 sets of brothers aboard during the China Sea duty. There were 3 sets of twins - Sanders, Doss and Wolfe brothers. Russ Allen was a storekeeper and Rich was a PN3. We had a great softball team that challenged different ships etc. I appreciate all your efforts in keeping us all informed.
Rich Allen - 54 - 55
I was on the Naval Training Boxing team in '51 (San Diego NTC). WE WON THE 11TH NAVAL DISTRICT TEAM TITLE that season and I transferred aboard the Higbee to join brother, Russ in "54. Our Dad was in the Army from 1907 to 1910. He had 9 sons and 5 daughters. WWII had 5 sons serving and 3 sons served during the Korean War. Very proud of us all serving our country. Thanks again. Keep up the good work!!
