Hi Jeanie,
Thank you for visiting the Calvert website and sharing your father’s memories. Very sorry for your loss back in 2004.
I will add your father’s name to the crew list for the 1950s.
If you have not yet found them, there are two documents on this site which provide a very detailed history of the time your father was aboard the Calvert, and you can find them here:
