Comments: I went on the cruise to Antarctica 56-57
I took pictures of the hellicopter crash and the rescue of the crew and have some good 35 mm slides of the event.
I played the harmonica with my friend Gus Gutman at the talent show aboard the ship.
We were in supply division along with another friend named Paul,who's last name I can't remember. I would like to hear from anyone who remembers me or knows anything about Paul or Gus Gutman.

Comments: My uncle Robert S. Lowe from Cleveland, Texas was on a Seaman I believe second class on board the U.S.S. Curtiss when it was attacked at Pearl Harbor and he was killed.
My mom, his little sister would love to have any information someone might have. Anyone who might remember him, any tidbit of info about him would indeed be cherished. She has set up a notebook of info to keep and has his flag from his casket. My 14 year old daughter is also very interested and has already asked me to tell Grandma she wants to keep it as an heirloom when she grows up.
Any info on his death, how it happened would also be appreciated. Many thanks to anyone who could share.

Comments: I was aboard the USS CURTISS AV4 when it made it's cruise to Antarctica in 1956 and 1957. I didn't know its fate until reading some of the above comments. Her Captain at the time was Capt Dickey and I can't remember the names of any more of her crew. How well I remember the Equator Crossing Ceremonies! I wintered at Little America Station during the International Geophysical Year in 1957...at Byrd Station in 1959 and returned as Summer support in the early 60s. I spent 4 years in the USAF 1950-1953...and also spent five 40 day cruises with the USCG in the N Atlantic.I can say that I enjoyed all of the above but have a special place in my heart for the personnel of the USN who treated me with much respect aboard the Curtiss and the Antarctic stations. She was a good ship with a good crew...I'm sorry to learn that she's gone. I'd like to hear from anyone who was aboard her during the Antarctic cruise and anyone who has wintered in the Antarctic.
