Gene Gambill
US Navy USS Boise
My father Gene Gambill was a Pharmacist Mate aboard USS Boise, CL 47 from
1941 until near the end of the war. I read your information regarding the
ship and enjoyed it very much. One detail you could include is the fact that
Boise had General McArthur aboard for his return to the Philippines.
My dad spoke to him while he was aboard and I have a Navy photo that I
obtained from a commercial service showing McArthur receiving a formal welcome aboard
I would enjoy reading more stories about Boise or hearing from shipmates or their relatives.
