Hi, I am trying to
locate an individual who was on the Midway during April/May of
1975. He helped a family that I am very close with and they have
been trying to locate him for years to thank him for his
unbelievable kindness while aboard the Midway. He has sent
pictures and letters signed "Midway Bob" from years ago, however,
we aren't sure of his full name or contact info. His name is
either Bob (Robert) Calderwood (or Dalderwood) as we can best tell
from the pictures he sent. He is the man holding the cargo net on
the right side of this page from your website:

Any help that you could provide with regards to name or contact
info for "Midway Bob" would be truly appreciated. Thank you for
your time.

Great site! Thank you
for putting together such a complete collection of Naval history.
I never saw the Midway in person; was an east coast squid, my ship
was the America. I'm grateful to see Midway live on as a testament
to what we as sailors have done. |

I served aboard as an

in my 9 years in the Navy. |

Was on board the
Midway from 79 to 81, assigned to V1 Div as rescueman #1 on the
Crash & Salvage crew. GONZO STATION, 200 Hostages, N. Korea - S.
Korea, The CACTUS Incident and more. So you might say that the
memories are enough for a lifetime and they were all worth it.
Wouldn't change it for the world.
Can remember the rescue of the civilian helo that went down and
the Midway came to the rescue of both the helo and it's 17
survivors.
It was an HONOR to have served on the GREATEST SHIP MIDWAY MAGIC
CAN DO
Also, does any one out there know the whereabouts of Paul Foster? |

My ex husband was
stationed on the USS Midway during the 70's. The pics of the Bob
Hope show were similar to the ones he took. I wish I had more
photos of his years in the Navy. I set foot myself on the Midway a
few times as a Navy wife in those years. I would like to know if
John Njaa knew Paul Flowers. One of the pictures in the Philippine
group looks a bit like my ex. |
