Hello Lisa,
Do you know the division where he was assigned?
I served aboard the Kitty Hawk from 1/1976 to 8/1979, and since the Kitty Hawk sailed for the West Pacific cruise (WESTPAC) on 10/1978, I may be able to find his name from the Cruise Book. That is . . . if he sailed during that particular cruise. I'll get back to you soon.
I served on the Hawk from 74 - 78 and have the 1975 westpac cruise book.... If you could tell me what department or division he was in I could look him up...
