About the host
Hosted by Judy Mclean
Jude - I’ve spent much of my career in sales. One of my greatest joys, though, has been creating a place where people can truly enjoy their time away. My goal with our home is to offer more than just a place to sleep—a comfortable, thoughtfully furnished retreat with stunning mountain views, unique touches, and plenty of space to relax and reconnect. I want guests to arrive, settle in, and feel like they’ve found somewhere special. John - Researcher about POWs in the Pacific. In June 2025 located the wreck of the Hofuku Maru sunk on September 21, 1944, holding the remains of about 141 Dutch and 667 UK POWs. This was broadcast this year in the Discovery Channel show, EXPEDITION UNKNOWN - Season 17, episodes 1 and 2. You can see me mentioned in there, John Duresky. I am now searching for the wreck of the ship the Shinyo Maru holding the remains of about 600 Americans, sunk on September 7, 1944.
