DO YOU REMEMBER MY FATHER?

Comments: Does anyone remember my father, LTCDR. Robert J.(Bob)Lang? He was stationed aboard the USS Passumpsic in the 1950s, he retired in 1957 or 1958 after a 21 year career. I was just a little girl. My sisters and I grew up in San Diego, and I can remember our mom dressing us up to meet my dad's ship when it came in to port. My parents divorced, my father remarried but died in 1976, my stepmother and my mother are gone also, and so all of his things are lost to me. I'd love to know more about him during his career. I'm a volunteer at the USS Midway Museum and recently dedicated a bench on board to honor him. He would be 90 years old now. If anyone has any memories of him I would so appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you!
