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.

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.

I'm not sure.I think he was a gunner or gunners mate.He died in 1989.He said his appendix burst during a storm and they had to do surgery by flashlight.When they docked in Australia there was someone taking pictures of them bringing him off on a strecher.He said his picture was on the front page there.He had the newspaper for a lot of years but lost it.He was maybe 17 or 18 at the time.I would love to find information on that if anyone remembers it.Our son is going to Kuwait in Jan.I've tried to find out how to get a copy of that newspaper.

Passed away August 1995. When I was a child, people would ask me if my father was ever in the service. After I replied yes, they would tell me
"I thought so - he carries himself like a U.S. Marine."
And that he was.
