Still contact a few techs and swap stories. Have a lot of pics/
No wonder Tico got permanently retired; too many sorties and typhoons. A durable can=do ship. It was fun listening to
the pilots in radio 9 (Aug, 64).

Went aboard before trip to NY and Phillie then to Mayport Fl and onto the Med. I left the ship and flew back for duty at ComFairWingsLant in Norfolk. I met the ship when it returned. I don't remember all the radiomens names but I do have quite a few pictures. Was not aware of any reunions until I saw it in the Legion magazine.

My grandfather Herbert B. Kendal was on board during WWII. He passed in 1997 but my father and I love collecting stories of his service to keep his memory alive in all of us. If anyone has any, I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you

Best memories of my Navy years. Recovered Apollo 16 and 17 and also Skylab 1. Loved the exercise cruises between Hawaii and North Island... loved Japan (Sasebo and Yokuska). Overall, The Tico was my best experience... too bad that I had to leave her because of her decommission.
