Comments: As the "historian" for the USS BENNINGTON CV/CVA/CVS-20, I just wanted to inform those looking for individuals from this squadron (VF-72) know that one individual known as Robert "Bobby" Quinn is a member of our association. He would be interested in communicating with anyone from that group while they were aboard the CVA-20. (again, time frame from 9/16/1953 - 2/21/1954).......

Please forward emails to me as Bob has no computer. Thank you in advance.......

Comments: Gentlemen: I'm in need of a copy of the insignia for the USS Randolph (57-58) and VF-73, same time frame.
I need them for a drawing for a friend, his dad was in VF-73 on the Randolph during the 57/58 med cruise. Would trade my first grand child (no strings attached) for that cruise book.
