"John, your visit with me was really a blessing and something that was needed at the time. Thank you for your kindness and consideration. It means a lot to me. "
"Sorry for the late reply. I vaguely remember LT Mergo but that is about all I can tell you. Wish I could be more helpful. "
"Fred -
You are correct I was in the BACE shop from Feb 1964 to Dec 1966. I believe you were AE2 the best I can remember. If I am wrong just caulk it up to old age. We made Westpac cruise on USS Ranger and then to the Med on USS America. I was…"

Hoot, Hoot. Good to visit with you last month.
Geo. I trying to help one of our squadron 5 veterans (fallen) Lt. Nick J. Mergo. His son Nick jr. contacted me asking for information and I though I would reach out to those that served together on the RANGER AND AT SANFORD. The Lt. flew several missions and especially one looking for one of our downed planes, so I thought you may remember something and could provide information that may help in his claim. I posted this in RVAHNECC asking for help and I will send info. on to the family.

We made Westpac cruise on USS Ranger and then to the Med on USS America. I was then transferred to RVAH-3. It is good to hear from you. Keep in touch.

Welcome aboard George. Reading posts and looking at pictures on RECCENET will stir up some great memories.
Glad to see that you found this web site sir. It has been a lot of years since we were in Rota setting up that mobile maintenance facility for the wing.
We are over here in Hawaii for a couple of weeks. One of my friends is a dentist who did a Vietnam tour on a Navy destroyer in the late 60s. One of the things that we talk about a lot is that we were all so darn young and had so much expectations and responsibilities put on us at that very young age. I always think that you officers were much older, but in hind sight you were all quite young also.
After spending 35 years as professional in the business world, I am still amazed that we were expected to do what we did then compared to the expectations today of younger people. I tell my kids that it was not just luck, but a lot of hard work and dedication to duty.
Proud to have served with you on the one RVAH-9 cruise and the Rota deployment. You were a fine man and good officer.
