Hi, listers!
James Carden has invited me to join a group set up by himself and Becky
at Facebook called "Carden Family Association of the USA" where a
letter from Eddie Carden of Hampton VA can be found inviting people to
contact him about a proposed Carden Gathering in USA. I hope such a
gathering takes place. I don't think Eddie is a member of this mailing
list, but members can see his letter by visiting Facebook and putting the
above group name in the search box.
I have not yet decided whether to join or not, as I live in England, and am
not much of a fan of Facebook (too senile perhaps), but see that there are
451 groups at Facebook which include the word CARDEN in their title, mostly
of course for alumni of Carden schools, but a good many for members of our
family.
One group is called "We worked on Carden Island......and survived!!!"
Intrigued by the idea of a Carden Island I finally found the following in
the Dictionary of American Naval Aviation Squadrons. NAAF Corinto,
Nicaragua - During WWII ... The base at Corinto was established on a
strategic landlocked harbor formed by the junction of six rivers and Carden
Island, lying at the entrance to the harbor on the east. ... 65 miles from
Managua.
Comments please! Lets have lots more posts to this mailing list, which
seems to be fading away.
