I am looking for a Marine that was stationed on Futenma AB in Okinawa around 1980 through 1981. I don't have a name only discriptions, so here goes....
I know that he worked on the flightline, something having to do with helicopters and fueling. He is originally from New York state and planned on going back to work at the airport there after he retired. At the time, he had 2 kids (a boy and a girl, I think). The kids were with their grandparents while he was stationed in Okinawa. The girl has a scar on her arm from a bad car accident. He should be about 54 years old now. He bacame friends with a woman named Masami in Makiminato City who also had a girl and a boy. He once gave her and the kids a blanket, that she still has. The last time she saw him was November 1980 before she left for the states. He has dark brown hair, dark eyes, fairly skinny and at least 5'7". Like I said, I don't have a name but I'm hoping that I can find some unit pictures from that time so that she will be able to point him out and then I can get a name.
I went to the headquarters on Futenma and was told that all old unit photos were stored at Quantico in Virginia.
If this sounds familiar to anyone or if anyone has any advise for me, I would like to hear it. I know I don't have much to go off of but it's very important that I find him. I hope that someone will see this and remember or know who I'm talking about.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
