I too am one of the older VAH-9 doctors, as you put it. (1957-1960) I have about 62 Hoot Owls on my mail list, but I never hear from many of them. When deployed, our home was the USS Saratoga, but I've been on short deployments aboard the Forrestal and Ranger. I was aboard the Sara when she crossed the Atlantic for the first time in 1957 and 2 Med cruises later on.
"Thank you for welcome. I was in RVAH 12 from 1967-1971. Stationed in Sanford and Albany. Deployed on Forrestal, Independence, and America's around the world cruise in 1970."
"Thanks, being one of the older RVAH 12 doctors, 1967-1971, I do not know most of the current members. We deployed on Forrestal 1967 Mediterranean, Independence 1969 NATO games, America 1970 Southeast Asia. All the Carriers are gone, so is 12."

Hi John,

Nice hearing from you, stay well.
