INFO NEEDED:

This spring (2005) when my new neighbor in Illinois heard my wife and me talking about attending the USS NEWPORT NEWS Reunion, he got this funny look on his face and said "Come here a minute."

He had been scanning and organizing all his slides from long ago into his computer and proceeded to show us a vacation picture from when he was in college!  He had seen a "beautiful Navy ship" tied to the pier in Ft. Lauderdale and took this picture.  He thinks it was taken during his Spring break on '59, but the slide is dated Jan 1959.

Since he had just scanned it into his computer that morning he made the connection when I said "CA-148."  We told him we would see if we could find anyone out there who has additional information about this picture.  Who? What? Why? When? and Where?

We thought this was great... Talk about Six Degrees of Separation and Timing!  If anyone can help us with more Info just e-mail or call and we'll get back to you.

Thanks,
