Comments: Hello my Name is Lori Homsher youngest daughter of Alfred Homsher who served on the USS KEARSARGE during the Korean war. He joined a bowling team and I have many pictures. He has passed away in 2002 and he left me with many memories of his USS KEARSAGE reunions he went to.I am currently trying to find out when the ship will be in Norfolk VA so I may see it as this is what he always wanted our family to do. He has 4 grandkids and was alive to see them all but they miss him and he now has 2 greatgrandkids he never met. The great- grandkids know of him and the Navy. If anyone can help my family see this wonderful ship by letting us know when it will be docked in D.C. or Norfolk Va or near Pa anytime will be appriciated. Thank You

Comments: My father, Clarance Ray Sheppard (Shep), served onboard the USS Keargarge in the late 40's early 50's and had a rather large oil painting of the sister ship the USS Valley Forge CV-45. My father retired in 1972 as an E-9 and passed away in 1992. My brother now has the painting of the USS Valley Forge. I'm trying to find out if anyone knows where I might find a similar painting of the USS Kearsarge? Any help would be appreciated.
