Details about location of Radio 2

Comments: Message received from someone building a model of the Toledo, and needs information - as follows:

I searched several websites in an attempt to find a sailor with Radio Man rate, who served aboard the Toledo in the mid 1950's. I'm building a scale model of the USS Toledo CA-133 for a friend whose father served aboard as a radioman who communicated in Morse code.. She was very close to her father, who has passed on, and very proud of his service. I would like to mark the location of the radio room on the model for her. I believe that it was located in the superstructure, between the 5-inch turrets and below the signal bridge. Is this correct? Thank-you very much for any information you're willing to provide about the USS Toledo. Sincerely, Gary Pforr, Alamo, California

Anybody out there can help Gary? < pforr@comcast.net >

He will be 76 in July,has been married to mom for 56 years in August. He would probably get a kick out of hearing from anyone that remembers him.

Looking for any related info. on my Grandfather

Comments: I am the grand-daughter of Earl Dhein. I've been trying to find any information on my grandfather. He passed away in Feb. of 2005. Pretty much I've only got that he's served on the USS TOLEDO (CA-133). I think he would have served somewhere between the 1940s & 1950s. If anyone has any information, stories, and/or photographes I would greatly appreciate anything at this point. I want my kids to know what a wonderful Great Grandfather they had!

THANK YOU TO ALL YOU VETERANS!!!!

Robert C. Leach

Comments: Hello, I am a junior at the University of Toledo in Ohio. My grandfather served on the USS Toledo for at least most of his naval career of 8 years and I know he was discharged in 1956. We can't get any stories out of him and when we ask (my whole family says that if anyone can get the stories from him, it's me) he tears up real bad and starts breathing funny. All I know is that he was in Inchon and that he was in two different helicopters that got shot down and he was always near some of the big guns that have caused him to have permanent hearing loss. I have a 10 page paper to write for my history class due at the end of the semester and I was hoping you might be able to tell me some of the stories. I really want to know more about what my grandpa did. I know he was awarded several medals but he never collected them and won't even tell us what ones they are. His name is Robert Leach. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. Barbara Huffman

Bernard Samstag: Alive and Well in Culver City, CA

Comments: Many years since my first entry, and nobody from T DIV or CR DIV has contacted me. I joined the Toledo in 1951 after recommisioning the USS Goss, DE-444, with ET striker attached to my name. T-DIV officer Robert Doxey would not rate anyone who was not a service school graduate, so I transferred to CR Division where I finished out my enlistment in September, 1953, courtesy of ALNAV 46, which let me out two months early. I raised a family of four (2 and 2), was widowed, remarried and now have a 19-year-old daughter in College and a 15-year-old son in High School. Life is good on the West Side of Los Angeles, and I've finally stopped dreaming that I am back aboard the Toledo . . . wandering around, lost as usual. Web page at: http://www.bsamstag.com

Charles E. Baysinger

Comments: My grandfather, Charles E. Baysinger, just recently passed away on March 20, 2004. I know that he was a crew member on this ship, among others. Though he has always shared stories with his family about his experiences during his service, I am overwhelmed with the feeling that there was so much more to know. I know that he is a Korean War Veteran, so this is where I start my search. In addition, I know that he has received a Purple Heart, and the Bronze Star, but I am not sure when he received them, and what exactly he received them for. If anybody has any information on Charles Baysinger, or any guidance in helping my search, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.

The passing of Billy Ray Rayburn

Comments: I'm a little late in posting this here, but I think you all deserved to know. Billy Ray Rayburn passed away this last April in Boise, Idaho. He was on board the Toledo from 1950-53, and worked with those powerful eight-inch guns. I've heard many stories over the years and I am thankful that I can still remember many of them. If anyone knew my dad, I would love to hear from you. Also, I am desperately looking for any photos of the crew (which may include him) from those days. I have never seen one of those yearbooks I hear about. I am also on the lookout for any mementos from the ship from that era. Bill was a great man and he was damn proud of his service on the CA-133... so much that it's passed on to me. As long as I live, the Toldeo will not be forgotten.

Original Crew 1946-1947

Comments: My father, Sam Boleware, was part of the original crew of the USS Toledo when it was commissioned in 1946. He took part in the world cruise in 1947 and was transferred to the USS Columbus at the end of 1947 when the Toledo was docked in Long Beach. Does anybody remember him?

Update 14 Feb 2004 from Cindy:

I also wanted to update my posting to report my father's death 18 months ago. I enjoyed hearing from him about his adventures on the USS Toledo and treasure the photos he gave me. I've also enjoyed corresponding with other alumni of the ship, but want people to know that my father's not here to correspond with them anymore.

Anyone remember Billy Ray Rayburn?

Comments: My father has only a few momentos from his days on the Toledo. I wish I could remember the years better, but I believe he was aboard at least from 50-53. Anyway, if anyone remembers a Billy Ray Rayburn, I would simply love to relay any phone numbers his way (he now lives in Idaho). I keep looking for books or anything with photos of the ship. If anyone knows where I can get some, I'd love to surprise him with a gift. Hope this message gets out to someone in the know.

Thanks much!
