I have his scrapbook of photos taken while on "Kearsarge". Would like to get the mementos to him.
He would have been in Astoria, Oregon 1949 or 1950 I believe.

Following shakedown, the carrier cleared San Diego 11 August for intensive flight training in the Hawaiian Islands. Her readiness complete, she sailed for the Far East to engage in combat missions in the Korean War. Arriving Yokosuka 8 September, Kearsarge joined the fast carrier Task Force 77 off the east coast of Korea 6 days later. For the next 5 months the carrier's planes flew nearly 6,000 sorties against Communist forces in North Korea, unleashing considerable damage on enemy positions. She completed her tour in late February 1953, returning to her homeport, San Diego 17 March. While serving in Korea her classification was changed to CVA 33. Kearsarge sailed again for the Far East 1 July 1953 and operated with the 7th Fleet fast carrier force during the uneasy truce in Korea. The "Mighty Kay" also kept watch over the Formosa Straits to prevent the Communists from interfering with the Chinese Nationalists on Taiwan. USS Kearsarge received two battle stars for Korean War service. From: DICTIONARY OF AMERICAN NAVAL FIGHTING SHIPS

from VF-114 to the Photo Lab. I have been trying to contact other

I'll check your page periodically, so I can put in my addition.
