Wrote history of VQ-1 and VQ-2 for "The Hook" magazine in 1985 and is now on file at Naval History Museum at Navy Yard in D.C.

ESTERLINE, Ron jantro@reliable-net.net "...I remember well the name, and most of the faces of my service era Shipmates: Cota, Mauro, McKearney, Overman, Sepuch, St. John, and Wojton who have posted here. When I refused the Navy's kind offer of Flight Training at NAS Pensacola, Florida in exchange for an extra 18 months active commitment, they assigned my reserve SA butt to VP-44 as AI/Nav Yeoman (Navy for sweeping out the Navigation Office once a week). So from July 1957 to July 1959 I had to pick up after 5 officers (Malm, Renter, etc.) and guard $25 million worth of seaplanes with a billy club 48 hours a week. My main partner in crime was Jack Flannelly, a sometimes AE3 - our finest hour was hoisting the Finnish national ensign (liberated from the NOB enlisted theater during a Tom and Jerry cartoon) to the top of the flagpole at NAS Norfolk, Virginia - we heard it was about noon before the Jarheads determined NAS Norfolk, Virginia was not being visited/overrun by the Finns, and finally hoisted the US colors. While standing post watch one night, I was inspired to write "The Ballad of Champ Thompson" - VP-44's CO at the time - a ditty about the P5M and its crew - "...they rolled her down to the edge of the ramp, the Beachmaster he said "Champ! Rev your engines and let her fly, go bore some holes in that big blue sky..." Maybe I'll post it all here sometime. By now its Bastille Day 1959, and my active duty was up - Ha! Called me back in September to testify at the court martial of a PO1 who had made unwanted advances to a sleeping knife weilding parachute rigger. As I recall, Jack Overman was OOD the night it all went down, and its a story he may want to tell. Hope all these guys I can remember are doing well: Gene Tometsko, Karl Mart, Perry Hinch, Dale Innes, Joe Chuifo, Reggie Fear, Chief Dries, Burl Burch, and Bob Graves - PJ O'Leary's probably still a jerk..."

EATON, Richard Retired RichardGM211@aol.com "...I started my career with VXN-8. In those days it was called OASU, but I was there as a ground-pounder for all the subsequent name changes. I left the squadron just as we were getting the P-3's and went to NAS Quonset Point, Rhode Island and joined the Checkmates of VS-22. Made the final cruises of both the USS Wasp and the USS Intrepid and onto the USS Saratoga. We locked the doors when we left NAS Quonset Point, Rhode Island and on to NAS Cecil Field, Jacksonville, Florida. I was dragged kicking and screaming off the Sara in '76 while on a Med cruise because I received orders to RTC Great Lakes for duty as a Company Commander for 3 years. I was assigned to VP-23 in late 1979. I caught up with the Seahawks on deployment in NAS Keflavik, Iceland. Served for a while as the Line CPO and then was picked up for local instuctor duty TAD to CPWL. I finished out my career at NAS Brunswick, Maine working as the HRM Officer, teaching the CPO and PO Indoc courses, the "Skid School" and the Motorcycle Safety Course. Lots of fond memories over the years. Hello to all the Shipmates..." [21NOV2000]
