I served on board from Dec. 1965 until Aug. 1969 in OR/CR Division. Have been looking for years for Bob James. He was thrown off the roof tops in Hong Kong. We sailed leaving him behind in the Hospital. He was eventually discharged and I presume he went back to his home in Rhode Island. Anyone with any information on locating him please e-mail me.

I served onboard from 9/66 thru 9/68 in R Division. Our leader, WO Ray Johnson was something else but over the years I realized that I learned a lot from him. Turned 21 in Melbourne. Never forget that day. There were many of us from the Pacific Norhtwest in those days. Many from the Seattle area. If anyone knows my old bud, Donald Cook in Memphis, let him know about this site. R Division mates, please email me.

Charlie Whynott (1958-1962)

Charles A. ?Charlie? Whynott Jr., 70, husband of Rosemary (Clements) Whynott, of Gloucester, passed away at the Seacoast Nursing and Retirement Center on May 22, 2009.
Charlie was born in Somerville, MA, on February 4, 1939, the son of Marie (Zarrella) Whynott of Gloucester and the late Charles Whynott Sr.
He attended Gloucester High School.
Even though Charlie graduated with the Class of 1958, he never forgot his many friends in the Class of 1957 and also attended their class reunions.
He furthered his education at Northeastern University, obtaining his Associates and Bachelors degrees.
Charlie was very proud to have served aboard the U.S.S. Canberra (CAG-2) while serving in the United States Navy from 1958 through 1962. Charlie always looked forward to the ship?s annual Navy reunions. As most of the reunion attendees can confirm, Charlie loved to dance and enjoyed leading Rosemary onto the dance floor as soon as the band started playing. He also loved dancing at weddings, Christmas parties, and any other event that involved music and a dance floor.
Charlie was an avid history buff who enjoyed reading magazines about WWII and watching the History Channel. He also relaxed by watching black and white movies shown on Turner Classic Movies Channel.
Charlie was a member of the Elks Gloucester Lodge #892.
He is survived by his wife, Rosemary, with whom he shared 34 years of marriage; two daughters, Tracy Lee Wells, wife of Bruce, of Cottonwood Falls, KS, and Melanie Rose Lovell, wife of Scott, of Malden, MA; one son, Christopher Lee Whynott, husband of Courtney, of Mesa, AZ; one sister, Gail Scola, and her companion Peter Genova of Gloucester, MA; one brother, Robert Whynott, husband of Patricia, of Gloucester, MA; five grandchildren, Maci, Kristin, and Alissa Wells, of Cottonwood Falls, KS and Christian and Cameron Whynott of Mesa, AZ.
Charlie?s graveside service and burial will be held at Dolliver Memorial Cemetery on Lincoln Street in West Gloucester on May 27, 2009. Family and friends are cordially invited to meet at Greely Funeral Home at 4:00pm for an immediate procession to the cemetery. The family extends to you a warm welcome to join them for dinner while celebrating Charlie?s life, immediately following the burial service. This will take place at the Tavern on the Harbor, 30 Western Avenue in Gloucester.
Charlie and Rosemary adopted a retired greyhound, Raging Bull, in May 2003. Bull was one of Charlie?s best friends.
In lieu of flowers, charitable donations in Charlie?s name may be made to:
Greyhound Adoption Service, 16 Jak-Len Drive, Salisbury, MA 01952.
Arrangements are by the Greely Funeral Home, 212 Washington Street, Gloucester, MA.

I am looking for anyone who may have known my Dad, Lawrence (Larry) Schrader.

Anybody know anything about this?? Please e-mail me and let me know. Thanks so much. It means a lot to me.

I am searching for shipmates that may have served with my late husband during the years 1960-1965. His name was Ralph Joseph Fulk. I understand that as a result of my last post on here, some shipmates tried to e-mail me at the other e-mail address I have. It did not work so PLEASE e-mail me one more time. Ralph died in 2007 and I am trying to prove the Agent Orange exposure and the fact that he set foot on Vietnam soil, as he told me a couple of "on land" stories. Thanks SO much!

I'm looking for Bill Price. He was on Canberra mid 1965 til 1967. Served with him on 2 WestPacs; off the coast of North and South Vietnam. He was the ship's primary Vietnamese interpreter. Prior to serving on Canberra, he and I had been stationed in South Vietnam (Saigon) July 1964 to July 1965. I need to find him to see if he remembers the 10 days of escape/evasion training we took together, prior to deploying to Saigon in July, 1964. I'm having problems with the V.A. on the medical problems I'm having with my hands caused by injuries received during this training. He's the only one I remember in the class of 78 that went thru this in June of 1964. Thanks for any help.

My dad, Donald Hill, served aboard the Canberra in the early 60's. He served as PC1/gunners assistant (I think). If anyone remembers him and can share any memories, please email me. I do still have a Canberra information packet with some photographs in it he sent my brothers and me. I was only 7 when he died, so I really don't know too much about him.
Thanks,

When the USS Canberra was in Vietnam during the war, I have heard that the ship, at some point, was exposed to Agent Orange, and that is something I need to prove to receive benefits.
Since my husband, Ralph J. Fulk, died on 4/17/07, I have been trying to find out this much needed information as well as finding anyone that served with him and anything they may remember about on shore unpleasant duties.
Please get back to me. You are ALL heroes in my heart and I thank you for your service!
