Need help locating former Navy commrads of my Dad

Hello,

 

My Dad's name is William Robert Visnaw and he served in Corpus Christi, TX from 1958 thru 1962.  He flew on the S2F Tracker and I also believe he was on the USS Antietam for a short stretch during those years.  I am very proud of who the Navy helped mold him into (but of course I do need to give as much credit if not more to his mother) :)  Although there is a side of him that if he was anything like he is today that he was back then, then you will know of him being quite the character.

 

I am hoping to locate anyone who may have served with my Dad, photos, who is commanding officer was and whatever else someone can provide me with.  I am in the works of do a pecil drawing of a couple different views of the S2F Tracker and would like to include a plaque matted to the picture that would include details of the Tracker, my Dad's rankings, his commanding Officers name and whatever else I can compile as a nice gift hopefully on Father's Day.  Anyone who may have any info, photos, details of the patches that were worn during that time farme (I believe they were called the Ranger VT-28's and formerly the ATU-611's) where to find these patches and any other detail that may be of any sugnificance would be greatly appreciated!!!  You can e-mail me at youcanfindme@wowway.com.  Thank you in advance for your assistance!!!  If you know my Dad and would like to make contact with him, I will be more than happy to but after I make the presentation.  I will be more than happy to communicate with you in the meantime...again this is a surprise I would like to present him with.  THANKS!!!  WRV Jr
