Comments: I served on the Midway from 52 until 54 when the ship left for Washington. Made 2 med cruises. Have photos of the collision with the Kankakee on the 54 Med cruise and of a major flight deck crash around the same time. About 6 planes involved. Some were tossed overboard. Also on the ship when a hurricane tore up the flight deck. Some other of my photos are in Buzz Nau's link to the USS Midway site. I was in CIC and was an RD 2.

To whom it might concern:

Reunion Group of former Radarman and Officers of the Combat Information
Center that served from 1962 to 1966. With my computer and the ability 
to use it (retired Software Engineer) I have located 70 of the 142
members that served during that era. 

We are dedicated to having Reunions, where we can all sit around talking
of old times (old times are always better than new ones), having a few
brews, telling a few sea stories and making up new ones if old ones
don't come to mind. At the present time we don't even collect dues, we
pass the hat when monies are needed. 

I publish a 10/12 page newsletter every other month, with reunion info,
ex-shipmates found, pictures of the guys from Midway days(members have
found) and other items of interest. 

We have a WEB Page at: http://home.earthlink.net/~phylo123/midway.htm
