Comments: thrift store find!
i am an army veteran, born in the 60's. i have several family members who served in the USN. i have a cruise book, from this ship, med cruise 53-54. it apparently belonged to the vs-31 squadron ops officer LT R C Praetch( LATER LCDR) , b 10 aug 18, d. 13 may 98,R.I.P. (according to the social security admin.) it contains two 8x10 unbound silver print photos: an unknown aerial shot of some landscape, plus an aerial shot of a prop plane with NAS SQUANTUM painted on it. and a group photo of some pilots. i might part with it if someone has a scanner to share the images with others. i don't have one. praetch lived in yarmouth, MA and i live in boston. please feel free to write with questions. this book is really great. i have seen a CDROM of it on eBay.

Comments: I was a Fireman Apprentice on the Siboney from the spring of 1953 to the spring of 1954. I was known as "Ski". I was the guy who made the drinking water in the engine room. I am looking to reminisce with anyone who served with me. I remember Jones,Pfieffer and Growl. (Please pardon my spelling!) Also spent time with the baker, Mike Pitek. I hope to hear from some old shipmates.

Decoration Ceremony 4/13/1945 |

Michelle Rickard wrote on 2008-03-16 15:14:42.0
Comments: My uncle Don has asked me to try and find the commemorative booklet he was given on April 13, 1945 that has a picture of him receiving his decoration from Capt. Ring aboard the USS Siboney (CVE112). There was also a larger picture taken that day. It would mean the world to him (and to me as the family historian). He was decorated for his service as a pharmacy mate assigned to the Marines during WWII. I recently wrote a story of his service. I hope to hear from someone.

Comments: I have a photo of 107 enlisted men holding a small banner with the number "112". Etched in the photo are the words " April 4, 1945" and the name "J.H. Biewener, 5p (A) 1/c" for years I was told this was my father's unit but he would have only been 15 in 1945 so I am trying to get the photo to anyone who it may hold meaning - I have no idea where it came from but my Aunt tells me she got it from my father - so something does not add up.
I hope the photo can find a home where it willl be treasured.

Celeste Montessi wrote on 2007-11-19 11:50:09.0
Comments: My Dad Alfred Leo Rivet ("slim") served during the Korean War in the Med on the USS Siboney aircraft carrier. He joked that his job was to put up the captain's antenna when in port and take it down when leaving port and he did a bang up job guarding the trash cans on the dock. He took movies from some hidden compartment on the deck of landings and take-offs and of seamen carrying bombs back and forth and of the french and Italian countryside and the riviera and Gilbratar from the ship. He had a plank owner certificate framed and on the wall in our den forever. He was so proud of that and we would sit for hours and look at it and I remember the mermaids and the part about Davy Jones Locker. He passed in 1990 but he also spoke fondly of that time and the men he served with. Does anyone remember him?

Comments: Thrown off the bridge as a telephone talker from CIC , for tapping Commander Sternleib on the shoulder as to what to do with all the info sent from CIC to the bridge. The same day I was to make 8 O'clock reports and I went to the hanger deck at 8 o'clock and I found out You make 8 O'clock reports at 1700. Lt Stierwalt was mighty upset, he told shapeup or ship out.
