Comments: After serving 6 years in the Navy I joined the US Coast Guard. I retired in 1986 from the Coast Guard in Charleston, SC. I worked 20 years with the Charleston Commissioners Of Public Works and retired in 2005. We are both retired and enjoying our kids and grands. I was able to locate Kirkland and Robbie Roberston.

Lauren Friedland wrote on 2008-04-17 21:09:58.0
Comments: Hello:
I am looking for anyone who may have known my father Lewis Friedland. He was aboard the U.S.S. Oriskany from 1951-1954. I believe he completed Boot Camp at Bainbridge. He was an artist for the ship's newspaper and he was friends with a guy named Jim, possibly Jim Laco the editor of the Champ. My Dad was with the journalist core and was known for his artistic talent. He created the Ship Mascot "Mothball." I have many pictures to share and would love to put names to the faces. My Dad had an extensive collection of photographs. Thanks so much!

Comments: My father was so very proud of his service aboard the USS Oriskany, and the rest of his 26 years servicing in the U.S. Navy. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers him, and maybe a few stories that I wasn't aware of. He became a very private person about his service in WWII and Korea after the was was over. I was only about 3 year old when he helped commission the Oriskany.
Sincerely, Barbara Dawson (daughter)

I am an adoptee looking for pieces of my family. I have recently
discovered that my father's brother served aboard the Oriskany in 1954.
My Uncle's last name was Young, my mother said she thought his first
name started with an O. After he got out of the Navy he changed his
name to Dave Gardner and became a nightclub comedian.
Could you provide me with any information about this man? Any little
thing would mean alot to me. He also might have been recognizable by
his southern drawl , he was from Kentucky.
I thank you for your time
