I see I am not the only one to have saved the cruise book.
I have been trying to locate Heavy 5 crew members from the cruise book since I retired in 2013, and I have found several either here or TogetherWeServe. There is…"

"James,
KW as a photo systems instructor was supposed to be my next duty station after the WestPac on the Ranger in 1972-3 , but they would not let me reenlist after my accident. Teaching was always one of my goals in life, and I finally achieved it…"

"Hi James,
I was a PH2 in Heavy 5 until 09/73. You may have replaced me. I know there was several (Esteridge, Johnson, and Ramsey) due to get out just before or during the Ranger cruise. Can you give me some names of the guys in photoline and IOIC…"

"Hi Doug, I'm William (Buddy) Murray. I was a PH2 in H5 in Albany, and found your picture in the Big E cruise book. Since you do not have a profile picture, I thought you might want to use it."
"Welcome aboard Tommy! PH2 William (Buddy) Murray RVAH-5 1970-1973 :)"

"Steve,
You left a comment last March about finding shipmates. I am looking for George Husted, I first met him in Pensacola and then later in Heavy 5 as a WO4. I believe he retired as a LTCMD at Norfolk.

"Thanks John, I am looking forward to plucking some old memories from you guys."
"Ed,
I know I am being a PITA with messages this morning, but you have a picture of someone sitting under the nose of an A5 on your photos. Do you know who it is, because it looks like me."

Found Phaff, he was a 2nd class in Personnel and Jimmy Joy a Parachute rigger 2nd class I think, he hailed from GA
Mise was an AME-3, the AME shop had 2 or 3 PO3's Gerry Muller was the other one he'd come from a Meridian Mississippi Squadron, I think his home state was New Jersey or Maryland the 2nd Class had taken over for PO1 Kummert.
Another RVAH3 guy I'm looking for is Sean Parent, he got orders to a deployed squadron that returned Spring 71 ish. Some may remember him as the Loan Shark as he stacked checks and always had $$ to loan between paydays at horrible rates.
Appreciate the walk down the path, I missed this cruise but my stuff went. I guess Mike Mise re-upped as he was looking at early out or he got shanghaied because they discharged me.

Hey Buddy, welcome to the group, and thanks for your reply to my comment about the crash of Everett and Stokes. I have talked with several shipmates by email and facebook during the last two years about it. Joe Brandl, Bud Steils, and John Ciffone seem to have the best recollections about the crash. The whole incident was very strange, especially the story about the bird and the superstition. If you don't know about the bird, I will be glad to email you. It completely blew my mind when I heard it. I'm sorry I don't remember you, but then I don't remember a lot of the guys. I was an AT3, hung around with Ron Cossey and Jim Lagonegro. I remember Chief Somers, the photo chief, very well. Thanks again, nice to reconnect!......Ed Cook, Alexander City, Alabama
