USS LEXINGTON Former Crew Member

Name: Tedesco, Albert †

Service Dates: 1941-1945 joined just before Pearl Harbor

Rank/Duty Assigned: Radio man/gunner I think he was in a Douglas Dauntless maybe.

Comment: Al died in 1997. I have a sketch of his rescue drawn by Herschel B. Chipp who was a Lt. I believe he was on the boat that picked him up.. It was given to Al at one of the reunions. He could not make many of them over the years as he was in and out of the hospital most of his life. Had a wonderful son and wife..He was my husbands brother.. Great guy!!!!
