    re: Ens. S.R. Cowan, (aka, “Dusty”, 5th row down the picture/2nd from the left; flew FM-2’s, preferably #13) — He was my Dad. Am trying to reconstruct his duty history (his service files went unclaimed and were destroyed). I understand from some of his stories that he joined the VC-65 when its was ‘reconstituted’ and became part of the Northern invasion fleet (carrier assignment unknown). He also talked about flying patrols over Japanese airfields, after the surrender. This ring a bell with anyone? Looking for additional info, new stories, confirmations, contacts, etc. Am wanting to pass the history to G-Kids, GG-Kids, and on down the line. Many thanks for anything you can share – Troy

      Hi Holly, I’m so happy to hear that your father would’ve enjoyed this website! I’m guessing that, by now, you’ve noticed the website update about the next reunion being in Florida. I’ve never been able to make it to a reunion, but my grandpa, before he passed away, and others in my family enjoyed them a lot. (My dad and stepmom even organized one of them!)
