Jim Taylor Memorial
"..we put Jim away in a style fitting for a Sailor, Officer and Gentleman. The proceedings were a short service at the Southern Nevada Veterans Cemetery, then a reception ..... Ed Chadwick, Bill Tomko, John Weber, Fred Mitchell and myself in attendance. A number of stories were told of happenings in Jim’s life.

VA-163/164 2007 Reunion


A former Saint, Bill Tomko, sent us this (6.4MB) slide show of the Saints at Lemoore and aboard the Oriskany during 1965.
The free Adobe Acrobat Reader will run this.


2003 VISIT TO NAS LEMOORE:
Mister Ed (Ed Copher, VA-163 SDO)
On Veterans Day [2003], I spent the night at the Navy Lodge on Lemoore.
The whole Base is practically brand new. Base housing is one year old,
made of stucco and has red tile roofs….very elegant looking. The Navy Lodge is
three years old and very nice rooms with full kitchens…..it won an award
as the best in the Navy last year [2002].
