Richard Hovious writes:
Ed. I remember that Mr. Lee Chelf, Mr. Van Dunbar and Mr. Babe Hovious(my grandfather)were great competitors in Knifley during the 30's. I had another "Chelf" experience during the 50's; I was rushing to my General Quarters station in the middle of the night aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt off the coast of Bulgaria (a very hostile area). I collided with a chief petty officer that looked VERY familiar. After a few moments of somewhat hostile staring we recognized each other---he was Ralph CHELF of Roley. We were a little late arriving at our GQ stations! --Richard Hovious
