Carol, A few weeks ago there was a report of a lady that was
missing from Hampton, VA. I can't remember her name. Do you know if
there is any more news about her? Yes, Glenn, that would be Karen Belding. The end of the story - or probably as much as we'll ever know - is posted at the bottom of the Original Newsletter: http://nnhs65.00freehost.com/01-01-10-NNHS-Need-Your-Help--Find-Karen-Belding.html
Thanks for
your concern, Glenn!

Carol, I would like to add my memories about the LPH ships (Amphibious Assault Ship-Helicopter). Back in the OLD NAVY I was a Radioman, in a Tactical Air Control Squadron (TACRON 12). The 1st LPH I served on was the USS Princton LPH 5, and next was the USS Iwo Jima LPH 2. We inserted Advisers into South Vietnam in 1963/64. The Iwo Jima was built as an LPH from the keel up. The Princeton started out the CVS 37 during the finial stages of WW ll. She served many rolls in her life of service to the Nation. In late 1962 she was still fast enough that in a high speed turn we could walk on the bulkhead (The walls, to you land lubbers). Seeing references to the LPH's stirred some old memories - most of which were good. I had the pleasure of touring the Iwo Jima in Norfolk with my wife shortly before she was decommissioned. Man, you talk about memories!!! Thanks for allowing an OLD salt to reminisce just a little bit. I could sit and talk about these two for hours. Jerry Blanchard (Class of 62) of Va. |
Certainly, Jerry - that's why we're here!
