All personnel records pertaining to Wm. Theodore de Bary, who lived Aug. 9, 1919 - July 14, 2017. de Bary served in the Navy in World War II. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, de Bary "was recruited by naval intelligence ... He went on to serve at Pearl Harbor and later in Tokyo and Washington," according to his recent obituary in The New York Times.

Records sought include those relating to fitness and counseling, training, background, personnel action requests, and discharge.

Dr. Mr. Skelding,
This is a follow-up to my below email. The Navy FOIA online (FOL) system has been acting in an unpredictable manner.
