I am seeking any information on a Lt. Harold "Dave" Hall, who I was told was a pilot on the USS Randolph sometime during 1947-1952 (?). I'm no sure of the dates. Does anyone have any information on my brother and when he was on this ship? Since I was born after he was in the Navy, I never knew him. I would appreciate any info. Thanks.

I was in HS-7 in 1960-61, the helicopter anti-submarine squadron based at Norfolk NAS and deployed on the USS Randolph. It was my good fortune to be aboard when choppers from the Randolph plucked both Gus Grissom and John Glenn from the Atlantic. During my time aboard we also visited Gitmo. I went to VR-24 at Port Lyautey in Morocco before the Randolph did her Med cruise. Would like to hear from some of my old squadron mates if any see this post.

My father-in-law (AM Jimmy Anderson) served aboard the Randolph during WWII, and was aboard when she was hit by the medium bomber Japanese kamikaze.
He is ill and unfortunately will be meeting with his shipmates in the near future.
My respect and admiration goes out to all the U.S. veterans!
