Hello. Interesting interview. I do not know Mr. Williams. I landed here while I was researching James Arthur Williams from the book, _Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,_ but this is intriguing. Do you just interview veteran citizens in your community?
Thanks Art!
I remember that evening. I lived on Hastings Hill on the river side. I was 13. It was headed toward us then turned at the river.
this was an amazing man that influienced my life, He was a father to many in the area, thanks for someone alowing him in our area
Amber Fannin was my principal! Dave and Amber Fannin are very much appreciated here and respected!
I wish that Jim Cantore from the weather channel did a storm stories episode about this!
I knew Larry from 1972 until around 1982. He was always kind and thoughtful gentleman. Watching this made me realize he never talked about his time in the service. He did give me his machete and his GB crossed arrows. I still have it 40 years later.
My dad grew up here and was a kid when this happened. He told me they got all the kids in school to look for bodies in the forest the day after. I won’t comment on what he saw but I’ll say it was gruesome :(
AN amazing narrative by a very influential person in my life -- my Scoutmaster. I wish every American could watch this, and imagine an 18 year old climbing down into the bubble of a ball turret gunner. Knowing the odds.
Appreciate veterans and interviews but with somebody please tell me why they are talking about their genealogy! Thank you
The library has partnered with Mr. McHenry to conduct these interviews. While it may seem like a waste of time, the family information is documented to be used by genealogy researchers. In more recent interviews, I have tried providing timestamps in the comments so people not wishing to view the family history questions may skip ahead. Thank you for taking the time to watch our interviews, we appreciate it!
He’s relation to my husband. I’m a Staker now too. They all have that same distinct nose. My husbands dad and brother lived on hogan in rosemount.
I’m curious to know why the interviewer must ask such personal questions the only thing he didn’t ask what his Social Security number…

Update: James, or as we affectionately knew him, Uncle Jim, passed away Friday, April 14, 2023 at the age of 89. I (Ryan Kricker, his grandnephew) and the rest of the Kricker family miss him dearly.
Two of my brothers were at Wheelersburg for the track meet that day. Know the at least three local schools were there Wheelersburg, Clay snd Minford. My brothers were on the Minford team. Our mother and I were supposed to go to a banquet that evening at McKale High School where he taught. So when I got home from school mom told me to go take a shower and get ready. As I started out of the bathroom I noticed that the door seemed very difficult to open and mentioned it to mom. We lived in Swauger Vally Road just south of the junction with Shumway Hallow. She ran to an east facing window and said we have wind coming let’s get the windows closed. Our window were old wood framed windows and we used sticks to hold the windows open. After getting all the windows closed we huddled in the hallway. Suddenly it became very dark and we could hear the wind picking up. As the wind passed we started to reopen the windows just to find that the south facing window in mom and dad’s bedroom had gotten soaking because the stick and not gotten clear of the window and had left a little gap. Afterwards we went out an found that one of our trees had lost its top and another had been blown broke off pretty much at the ground. Our two fuel oil tanks were turned over with the top of one facing north while the other faced south. Our neighbors which lived on Shumway Hallow had one tree snag down in their house and the large weeping willow in their front yard had been uprooted. Several people later said the gap that was left under the window probably saved our house from getting blown off the ridge point it sat on of getting torn apart. Later when my two brothers got home they told us of severe damage at the airport, the little league fields and the picnic grove at the north end of the when they got to Minford field house they found the entire roof structure had been lifted from the field house and sat down in the middle of the foot ball field. A as anything that was not was secured down in the field house was gone. My brothers had to walk the mile and a half home in their track uniforms and cleats. My oldest brother was on the old Grant Bridge and our sister was in Massy Hall at what was at the time Ohio University Portsmouth Branch. They both told of a large funnel that if it had touched down probably would have damaged both the bridge snd university. Dad got home a little later from working construction at the power plant at Manchester. When they ask somebody what was going on him and the guys he rode with were told that Wheelersburg had been wipeout as well as everything within two miles of Minford. Whee we n hd made it home he was elated to find everyone was alive and well, but also told us that the entire south end of Swauger Valley Road was covered in heavy hail from Sciotoville up to Woodsridge. We were just glad that the lord kept all sex of us that were in the immediate area alive snd uninsured through all of the craziness.
GOD Bless you Claude.....
I don’t understand why they keep asking their exact addresses that’s personal makes no sense
What a solid guy. I'd be honored to know him.
Love my husband David passed away July 19 2022
We build the world? Makes me laugh all the time 😂
Hey thank you for your service! Proud to be a fellow vet. Thanks for the dedication in helping our men and women in the service.
Veterans always have their life & everything else on the line!!! Veterans are special!!!
I love this guy! Still a Palmetto-Stater! Godspeed, mate!
These interviewers are awful. No one cares where he lives or his parents names.. good grief
God Bless you sir and thank you for service to our great nation.If only more young men joined the military and worked their entire lives like you did our country would still be responsible and respected
Funny how willing these Korean and Vietnam veterans are to be recorded for history. They were all chumps and pawns of their imperialistic post-WW2 Government. They did nothing for American safety, security and freedom. To believe otherwise is to embrace a falsehood. I'm a proud Vietnam/Draft resistor. I wouldn't be willing to do any of these videos if I was a veteran of those wars. Why would I want to tell the world I was an ignorant asshole who got used?
Military interview begins at 5:50
