The friends made while in the USN were forevever friends. The Navy was exactly what I needed. I grew up. Made good choices based what I learned. Thanks!

hello I'm Brandon

My grandpa on my mom's side was named Robert Robbie. He was a Machinist mate on this ship I know he served 1952-1956 Im not exactly sure what exact years he was on the ship but I don't think he transferred to another ship. He was born in Minnesota and at one point he lived in California. Im writing because my family wants to know if any one here has any stories or pictures of him. I've passed away in Jan 2019. He told me quite a few stories but I can't remember them because I was a young kid when he told them to me. We have the blue 3 ring binder book you guys produced at some point that had the history of the ship and its information. I don't remember of my granthad his picture in there. Anyways you can private message me or email me. I'm just wondering if anyone knew him or remembers him thank you

Brandon

I am posting on behalf of my father Gary Fetrow. He loved the navy and loved the Tolovana. He was late diagnosed with Parkinsonism Dementia a few years ago, and unfortunately is unable to speak anymore. He still has his mind, just slow. I'm not sure if anyone remembers him, but if you do and you have any stories that I can read him I know it would brighten his days! In the Cruise Book for 72-73 his is pictured twice. On page 28 he is the far right, and then again on 29 he is the top right and also below on the bottom right, clean shaven.
When he left the service in '73 he returned home to OH where he would continue working as an electrical engineer until he computers replaced his job.
i look forward to any stories you have to share!!! I wish I had found this sooner. He has been home on hospice since Jan 2021. The cancer hit him first in 2003, but there is no coming back from the dementia.

I hope this finds you well and in good health.
Thank you, Anda Fetrow
