I was putting together something for my kids, to show them where I have been. I was an AN in VAW-115, arriving in November 1990. I have been on many carriers since but I still remember the MIDWAY like it was yesterday. Many good men served with pride. Great site, good memories!

Spread the word>> Midway Sailor & the links, have really got me into checking out my storage areas to find anything "Midway" scan it and put it into my collection of pictures. Again, Thanks for an outstanding job.

I served in G-division 1965 "cruise". I would like to know what ever happened to the guy who drove off the flight deck into hanger bay 1 one morning about 4-am. I was one of the first one's there since I was on the starboard sponson deck with a guy named J. E. Lee. I believe the guy who drove into and down the elevator name was Jerry Terry. I know that the Captain O'Brien said he had his legs amputated. I remember the scene as if it was yesterday. I hope that Jerry is doing ok and has had a good life.

I served aboard Midway from 1961-65, in the Boiler Division. After two Westpac deployments and over 3 years, I completed my Navy days on the USS Ticonderoga. Both great ships.
