| Message | My father was Colton T Collins. He was an officer and the ship's dentist on the USS Randolph for 2 years, from 1952 to 1954, during peacetime as it toured the Mediteranean Seas. Luckily he had a good camera and a love of taking pictures. My siblings and I have fond memories of our father pulling out his slides and projector, to give us a show and narration of his time on the Randolph. The scenery shots of all the ports were breathtaking (the slides are in color) plus plenty of slides of the ship, flight deck, planes taking off and landing, the dental clinic, a bunk room...There are also occassional ones of officers and crew on the ship and in ports. Sadly, my father passed away in Dec. 1991, at 64, from cancer. Recently, my siblings and I dug out his old slides and set up the projector for a trip down memory lane with the pictures we remembered from my dad's old shows. Of the 100 or so slides, most have little meaning to us, (many have ports labeled, others don't), as only a few times did someone else get the camera to get a shot of him. Rather than destroy the slides, we'd prefer to give them to this website or to someone who would value them because they actually remember what the people, places and events are of. Do you know who we might pass these on to so they are saved for the memory of the crews from back in 1952 to 54? (they are all in old slide form, in slide carousels). Please let us know; Thanks, Denise (a proud daughter) [email protected] |

| Message | My Father, Jasper David Pope AKA J.D. Pope, Chief Petty Officer, was serving on the USS Randolph during WWII (1945). He was aboard the ship when the kamakazees hit the Randolph. Dad said he was with a group of men who had just finished seeing a movie and was walking out when one of the kamakazees hit. He said some of the men that were with him were killed. Dad was shielded by a US plane on deck. If any one remembers my Dad, please email me. Dad passed in 2003 God Bless America |

| Message | My dad Aaron Hasselbusch served on the Randolph in the mid 1960's. We owe him and everyone who has served our country a great amount of respect. We also need to make people aware that the ship existed and that it is part of American History. Unfortunatly it is not recognized in any history books. Someone needs to write a book about the Randolph and publish it so our parents and grandparents whom faught on the ship will never be forgotten. |
