On behalf of the USS Des Moines Reunion Association, I would like to extend our sympathy to Theodore’s family. His shipmates shared an unforgettable experience with Ted that ties us together forever.
You will find his picture in two cruise books on our website: USSDESMOINES.COM, the 1955-56 book and the 1957 Spring Book; he was in the 7th Division. (Anything on the Website can be downloaded). Since he was from CT I assume he went to Boot Camp in Bainbridge. Maryland. We do have a book online for Bainbridge so you can see what his experience would have been like during Boot Camp.
President John F Kennedy - August 1, 1963
”I can imagine a no more rewarding career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: "I served in the United States Navy."
