for most recent additions For me, as probably you, the nostalgia for the ships that we sailed on as young--very young--men builds as I age and have more time to dwell on the times when we didn't have the maturity to understand the experiences we were living. So, it is indeed sad to see the USS Forrestal being moved from Newport R.I. to the Philadelphia Navy Ship Yard--probably on its way to being scraped or sunk. Check out the story on Bulletin Board. Added a memorial to Gerald Tucker, VFP-62 1962-65 to "In Memoriam".
There's a page linked from the Bulletin Board ("Pictures of VFP-62 squadron members reconnnecting") that is reserved for photos of squadron members who have had "mini-reunions" and made the effort to reconnect. Unfortunately, it is not frequently updated (the last posting was Sept. 25, 2009). Robert Strong, Robert King, Charles Lancaster, and Rod Martin met at Cecil Field on June 21. Check their photo out.
