READER'S DIARY More WWII memories come to reader's mind Editor's note: In January, Mary Ramsey Frith sent in a "Reader's Diary" essay recounting her husband's experiences in World War II.

I was encouraged to write a P. By MARY FRITH When Coy's war weary men had followed and served the infantry men all way up the west coast of Italy to the Swiss Border, and Germany had surrendered, the men expected to be discharged and come home right away. Imagine, if you will, the unrest, the disappointment and the grumbling not very happy or willing to go further! Morale was terrible as they left Italy for the Phillipines. It was Coy's assignment to "boost morale." He led the activities: games, workouts, calisthenics periodically marching on deck, marching in place, etc. The very first day on board, Coy spotted a young seaman deck hand from the Merchant Marines, a good-looking healthy blonde young man mopping the deck.

He thought he looked familiar. On taking a closer look again intervention," I say) he recognized his friend, Dick Hensley from Martinsville. Needless to say, they were both astounded as they recognized each other. From then on it was easier to cope, and the rest of the trip was more bearable with a wonderful new buddy from home. And Dick was able to slip more snacks, treats, candy bars, etc.

Those Rations were getting hard to swallow! Dick Hensley gave a glowing eulogy at Coy's funeral in April 2002. In part, it was as follows: Sergeant Coy B.

Coy and Mary Frith in the 1940s. was put in charge of transporting 5,500 troops to the Phillipines for preparations to invade Japan. I was a seaman on the Uruguay, and when the troops were boarding my ship Coy Frith was the first to enter the ship.

He was the very impressive charge of transporting these troops. He introduced me to six or eight of his underofficers. They showed great respect for Coy. Coy was not bitter or complaining for having to continue to serve after the European campaign. He did not allow any griping among his under-officers.

"I told Coy that I knew his brother, Burness, was in Panama. He didn't know that, and hadn't seen his brother (in the Air Force) in more than a year. Somehow the superiors helped him to arrange a flight for a meeting with Burness when they docked for a few hours at the Canal. It was a good boost for both of them, and Coy especially asked Burness to send a message to Mary expressing his love and concerns for her!" Security was tight the Service men could not reveal details of where they were or where they were and couldn't get mail out at all until they reached their destination. MOVIE TOWN 638-4040 www.
