CVA-N-65 Plank Owner

Talked a little with Myron (Woody) Baker today. Briefly told me about the Enterprise's world tour. How, as they would fly in leader's, kings or officials to the carrier for a meal, tour & the same airshow everyday.  Then fly them back & start the whole thing over again. 

 

I did pick up his certificates for Operation Sea Orbit, Order of the Golden Dragon & Acient Order of the Deep. 

Also 3 fantastic cruise books, texture heavy bond paper, great photos...lots of bikini shots on the beaches.

And I received his plank which was presented to crew who were assigned during the Enterprise's commissioning.

 

Enjoy

Very nice!  Enterprise was my last shipboard duty before I retired and I had contact with a lot of the old timers who would come aboard to visit.  Lost of great stories!

Outstanding example.

I guess this was from the following year's cruise?

Most definitely. Great buckle! 

I will be moving the group along. Next couple of days I will list it.
