Enlisted Roster, VAH-7

The 313 names that constitute this list were sent to me in an Excel file on 31 July 2006 by William Culver (wculver-at-comcast-dot-net). He was in VAH-7 from December 1956 to November 1958 and worked in the Personnel Office. The date of the list is April 1957, so it must be a close approximation of the list of those who deployed to Port Lyautey only two months later in June 1957.

The name of Charles Bose is separated from the others, because it was not on the original April 1957 roster. In response to my inquiry, William Culver has said, "Bose was a buddy whom I remember, but he apparently came to the squadron after this list was printed. He had a car, and a group of us used to go over to Daytona Beach. I drove the car back to the base because I had not drunk as much as the other guys." The bold face indicates some of Culver's buddies. I cannot explain the red font for the name of Edward L. Shaw.
