Answer 1

Well I searched Carrier Yorktown and found three groups, these and other like them can put you in to touch with various crew. You can also contact the Navy for veteran groups.
Hope this helps. God bless you both and the Southern People!

Answer 2

I am a student of the Battle of Midway. In fact, I have a question on Yahoo Answers looking for an old Midway simulation.

Many Midway survivors are expected to be at the 65th Pearl Harbor Reunion this December. It is considered one of the last hurrah's to the last of the survivors. Contact Navy public affairs at CINCPAC, Pearl Harbor. Also, try http://www.ussyorktown.com/yorktown/
