Korean War Project lists a query by Bernard Samstag, under the
heading USS TOLEDO CA-133.  How do I address this Shipmate to answer
his query.

I do not have any information regarding Gordon Liptak, but can 
certainly tell him about the USS TOLEDO CA-133, having served on
her for seven years (1949-56). 

Thank you for your anticipated input.

I don't know it this would be of any interest to anyone or not. I lived
in arizona for about nine years and about'91 or'92 i purchased at a
thrift store a silver ice bucket that had on it an inscription that 
said: 

To the Wachter's from the captain and the officers of the wardroom of 
the USS TOLEDO CA 133 dted 1958.

i brought it out last night to polish it and my cousin told me i should
probably do some checking on the internet to see if maybey the captain 
or family members would have an interest in it.

Please e-mail me at dbqelmtr@aol.com if you have any information on 
crew members of the uss toledo ca 133

Thank you,

I have an aunt, who is divorced, and has begun to date a man who
actually served on the USS Toledo. He is a wonderfull person, who I 
like a lot. He told me that he had served in the USN aboard the 
USS Toledo.

He said he had no pictures, no contacts, nor any way of getting any in
conjuction with his ship. I would like to surprise him by finding some
any of his former shipmates, or pictures.

Here is all I know about him so far (that is relevant). His name is 
Carol. He served aboard the Toledo during the "Korean incident" 
 He lives in the western portion of North Carolina. He said he was 
aboard it when it was struck by three torpedoes at once. 

He also said he had a gun shot-out from underneath him. 
Please e-mail me back.

Daniel G. Parker, Jr.
