City, State: Baltimore,M.D. 21237 Comments: Hi from Gene Walsh I was in VR-24 just before they moved to Sigonella , I was a C1a Palne Captain and hung out with John Fischer (who I cant get a hold of) anyway I just wanted to see if anyone else was out there, my exact dates were 1974-1976 , I played football for the Capo Flyers , I can remember I guy named Ron Peoples who was a pretty good running back . I remember that great gym we had, a converted quanset hut with a basketball hoop and a small universal gym, I used to take Karate lesson's in there from a Second class that was in the next hangar over. Captain Hatch was there when I first arrived, I used to have a Norton Comando Motorcycle and lived over by the hospital and when I drove to work I would drive by the Bay of Naples and see one of our Aircraft Carrier's out there and that would alway's give me a rush.Had some good time's there and I miss all you guy's , so if you were there at that time just give me a holler, ADR2-Gene Walsh at gwalsh3rd@yahoo.com
City, State: San Antonio, TX Comments: Served with VR-24 from Jul 79 to Jul 81. Worked in Personnel and as Career Counselor. My tour got cut short at VR because I had to move over to PSD when the PSD's were established. Lived at Rasol Housing, great view from back yard. BBQ'd the heck out of chicken just down from the restaurant-calamary at the restaurant was great. Couldn't get enought of Fibber McGee and Molly on the radio. Great Squadron, Great Shipmates. Great Co's and Xo's. Great Memories, Made Chief while at VR-24. I droved a Chinco Chento (Fiat 500). Brutal. Loved the food. Gas coupons were great. Have enjoyed going over the guest book.
City, State: Ramona, CA Comments: Many of the squadron members who served with VR-24 in Port Lyautey knew and flew with LCDR Harvey G. Speed. A former member just sent me the following obituary of his wife, Virginia Speed, that was published in the Pensacola newspaper. VIRGINIA SPEED 1921 - 2010
The most loving and supportive mom in the world is now peacefully resting. Virginia Speed, 88, of Pensacola, was born in Muskegon, Michigan on November 4, 1921, and passed away January 24, 2010, at Covenant Hospice. Completely devoted to her family, she was a beautiful and joyful lady remembered for her kindness and sense of humor. As a well-traveled Navy wife, she lived in Morocco for three years. She was a long time member of the Silver Eagles Association and A.C. Read Golf Course. She enjoyed 13 years of dedicated services as a Red Cross Volunteer at the Pensacola Navy Hospital. Virginia was preceded in death by her mother, Anna Mulligan Arnson; father, Helmer Arnson; and her Naval aviator husband, LCDR. Harvey Guy Speed. Virginia leaves behind to cherish her memory: two sons, CDR (ret) James Guy Speed and wife, Carolyn, and CAPT (ret) Danny Lee Speed and wife, Marilynn; one daughter, Dianna Lynn Speed. Of a family of eight children, she is survived by two sisters, Barbara Damvelt and Carol Jean Donohue. Grandson, Joseph Speed, and his wife, Marisa. Great-grandchildren, Dash James Speed and Dylan Speed. Many other nieces, nephews and family members were loved dearly.
