Hello,
My name is Jim. Im tryin to track down family information because I have lost both parents. I beleive he was on Randolph between 55-60 ish. Im trying to get exact dates of enlistment and anyone that may have known and/or served with him. Any websites or ways to get info would be helpful. I have the tthe book of “1958…. these troubled waters… 1959” He is in it as as a v-2 division. email me any pointers/infoquestions… thank you in advance!!!

Jim Pogoreski

Found your name on the site…you served same time as my father was killed
off the USS Randolph.
Any info?
He was:
Lt Robert Louis Leo
’58 – 6 July 67 killed/midair

Father, Robert Louis Leo, killed 6 July 67 in midair of two S-2s off the bow
of Randolph while conducting Delta Switch pattern quals. had finished shore
duty and were headed to Vietnam AOR (I was told) Accident happened 38 miles
off Cape Hatteras NC and we lived in Norfolk. I was only 2 years old…If
anybody has any info of my father, his tours, or the day/the crash he died
in, Please contact me.
I’ve been in the USAF 32 years now, am stationed at the Pentagon, and only
recently visited his and the other 3 pilots markers in Arlington (with my
two sons). I’m a nuclear/munitions officer and found out my father was a
weapons officer first, then flew ’nuclear depth charges"(?) in the S-2.
Neat link to his past in my present.
