I need some help. I need to know if anyone who served the same time as I did remembers an accident that ended in another sailor dying from being crushed by a hatch. I can vividly recall but dates and the identity are blocked from my memory.

I miss the days on the Ticonderoga, I myself had a great time, meet a lot of people , they often pops up in my head. Wondering were they are and how they are, I kept in touch with some of the old shipmates. But have gone now. I was in the 3rd Division Deck Apes.

Perhaps a strange request, but the Midway Museum has been offered a matching sterling silver punch bowl and cups by the local Navy League Thrift Store. It's a beautiful set from CV-14 with engraving on the bowl from the Air Department. We already have a silver service and we'd love to reunite this punch bowl with its rightful hiers.

Hello,
I'm Bob Dorr, author of books, magazine articles and newspaper columns about military history and a former writer for Navy Times newspaper. I can't seem to figure out how to leave a message on the Association's on-line message board.

I'm writing a history of Bombing Eighty, or VB-80, to be published by a major New York publisher in 2015. I'm looking for anyone who can help with personal recollections, information or pictures of the events of January 21, 1945, when Ticonderoga came under attack by kamikaze. I'm especially looking for a way to add more detail to a description of Capt. Dixie Kiefer's performance on the bridge while the ship was under attack.

Can you help me to post a notice, or put me in contact with anyone who might help? I especially encourage people to pick up the phone and call.
Best wishes,

Robert F. Dorr, 3411 Valewood Drive, Oakton VA 22124
