Author	Topic: Dusty Rhodes (NASA Kennedy mail chief)

So, does anyone know Dusty's given first name? The reason I ask is that I'm watching a show on the AHC Channel about the naval battle of Leyte Gulf in WWII. They interview a Harold "Dusty" Rhodes who served on the USS Johnston, one of a small handful of destroyers that held off the entire Japanese Central Fleet during the battle. And was sunk by overwhelming force. I know it's a longshot that it's the same guy... but inquiring minds need to know!
