E-mail: Contact 		Apparantly the Raisin Jack recipe was very well traveled! Sgt. Homer J. Anderson (mech gunner) introduced me to it on my 20th birthday, July 4, 1944. He would bury it in the coral to ferment it. If anyone has any information about my friend Homer J. please respond to this website.

E-mail: Contact 		This is a wonderful find for my husband, James Clifford Scott Lewis. Although he's heard stories about and from his namesake, Lt.Col. James Clifford Scott the flight surgeon, having context and faces brings a living vibrancy to the memories. Thanks too for the Raisin Jack clarification! Blessings to all and grateful thanks.

E-mail: Contact 		I just discovered your site and have spent two hours enjoying it, as I know my Dad would have done. He was Lt. Cmdr. James Clifford Scott,the flight surgeon. He loved the squadron with all his heart, that I know. He built a sailboat out there, dubbed "Light Duty", and evidently guys signed up 24 hours a day for turns to go sailing. After the war, he trained in psychiatry because of all the mental hardship and pain he had seen; he worked with veterans in PA.
Thanks for showing me how he and all the others lived. I am very proud, and of course saddened that some did not return. Gratefully yours,
Lorna Scott Porter

From: Garden Grove, CA
E-mail: Contact 		I just read the Nov. '09 newsletter and saw the question from Norbert Gibbs asking who made the Raisin Jack in the barracks on Kwajalein? Well I just got off the phone with my Dad & he gave me permission to tell all! My Dad, Randy Clow with the help of some friends are responsible for the Raisin Jack making. My Dad said he and "Red" (James Nelson, who just recently passed away) made it quite a lot. They even had an "OK" from the surgeon who said it would be ok if they drank it in 4 or 5 days. It was just raisins, yeast and water....let it sit for a few days with a cloth over the top of the bottle to keep the bugs out and let the air escape. Then they would stain the raisins out and it was ready to go. He said it was a lot of fun. You guys keep keeping in touch!!!! God Bless You - Happy 234th anniversary.

E-mail: Contact 		My grandfather whom I never met was Robert Augustine. He passed away due to cancer at the age of 34. I have many pictures of him but no war stories from him directly obviously. I wish I would have been able to know him. If anyone can give me any piece of history from this squadron please email me at scottglowenke@yahoo.com. Thank you all for your courage, bravery and service to this country. Thanks

I have some photos of that airfield being bombed. Dated May 22 1944. I can email if desired. They're from a collection I have of my fathers photo's that I'm digitizing and researching. Thanks for your site. I didn't know the name of the field.
