I served in S-2 Division 1969-1971 with Roger Frost (two entries below). I have hung out on several other Midway pages and rekindled several old acquaintances. I was at the museum dedication in June.

Those were the days. I saw CDR White in Herndon until he died in the early 80's. And of course Admiral Carroll on Channel 7. Does anybody remember Dan Quayle's brother Chris in the Marine detachment? Best to all.

I served from 1985 to 1988 as part of V-3 Division. I can truly say that those were the best years of my life. Thank you USS Midway and your amazing crew for the experiences that can never be learned in college or anywhere else in the world. May God bless all of you and your families.

I was on board the Midway as a PH2 with my squadron VF-73 from November 1953 until September 1954, and may have some photos you could use. May take me a while to find them but will be back in contact later.

I've really enjoyed this short visit to your site tonight and definitely will be back.

I was one of the many that were evacuated during the Pinatubo eruption in 1991 (chalk 41) and I wanted to thank all of the crew that were on board at that time.

The author of this web page mentions that the crew merely provided three hots and a cot but it was much much more than that. They were friendly and comforting to an invasion of Air Force personnel who had just walked away from everything they owned...I'm glad that when she was decommissioned, she wasn't scrapped. I need to get down there and see her again. Thanks again Midway.
