Trying to find . . .

I get many requests for help in finding former friends and members of many Squadrons and Units. The requests are usually limited to appearing on the page where a loss is recorded. I've decided to now try to put current and future requests in one section to make browsing easier.

If you want to add a request please send it to mbenshar@aol.com and I'll add it below. If you want your contact details to remain private I will only forward them to people who respond once permission is given.

    USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65)    

1st March 2011

My name is Jim Gindele  ATN-3  VA-145...NAS Whidbey..68 and 69. 

I stumbled across your site and was fascinated.  It is a great site and represents a lot of work.  Congratulations!   The reason I stumbled across the site was because I goggled  LT. James Maynard ...a friend of mine at Whidbey and on Enterprise. I have been trying to find him for years, with no success.  I was on Enterprise when it caught fire and at that Time Jim befriended me not like any other officer would.  I would like to make contact with him.  Would you know a possible way to do this.

Any help would be grateful....I've tried all the sites I know of....Together we served, Bupers, classmates and shipment  etc.

Sincerely

Jim Gindele

My dad, Richard Franklin Elrod, was on the ship in 1969 with William Clinton Niedecken. My dad was also killed while he was on the ship in the year of 1969 . I am trying to get some info  and any pics that may be out there.

If you come across anything please email me.
 

Thank you

Does anyone have a Cruise Book for the 1969 period that shows a photo of Cindi's dad that they can scan and forward to the site? She has no photos of him at all.
