Just ran across your post while doing some research of my own. I am now the Secretary/Editor of the USS Randolph Reunion Association. We meet once a year. This year we will be in Kissimmee, FL on Sept. 23-30. On October 26, 1958 I was an Airman on the USS Randolph. When we were in port, I was the Captain's driver. Earlier in October, 1958 I had driven the Randolph CO, Captain Strean & his wife Janet to the Reeves villa for lunch with Churchill. On the 26th I led his limo to our helicopter at the Nice Airport and helped him aboard,. Attached is a brief article I wrote for our newsletter several years ago.
