Comments: Although I was never assigned to a squadron, I felt a closeness. I operated the cross deck pendants ( cables ) for nearly all recoveries during the Korean cruise. Believe me, for a 19 year old, I had a ring side seat. I recall losing 7 Corsairs in one day when we ran into heavy swells. Willing to chat.

If any of you good folks out there served with him, please give me a call or drop me a line. I really want to know more about him. In fact I'm not even sure if he is still living or not.
