My mothers’ maiden name was May Elizabeth Walsh. (Not Haskell) I believe the year of Mr. Johnson and my mother would be closer to sometime in 1946. Michael J. Walsh
In addition to my original message, if Sharon Johnson (Flick) of Hendersonville; two grandsons Aaron Flick and Mark Flick; and a sister Janice Sue Meinert have any knowledge of Mr. Johnson and will contact me, I will forever be indebted to you. Thank you, Michael J. Walsh
I believe I am the son of Richard Harold Johnson and I have been looking for him for over 55 years. If Mr. Johnson served on the USS Nueces at the end of WWII, he is almost certainly my father. If someone reads this that knows of Mr. Johnson will they please email of call me. (843 812 7218) I was born in St. Louis Mo. in Sept. 1945. I believe Mr. Johnson and my mother, May E. Haskell, divorced about 1947 or 1948. Thank you, Michael J. Walsh
