A little fuzzy....
The army was scaling down the war while I was in Nam; over the course of my year the Pleiku Army CommCenter shrank from a large operation with 50 or so staffers working two shifts to a place which could be run by two crews of four, plus administrative staff. This party celebrated the largest staffing change, as about half of the GIs left within a few days. Obviously we had pizza. And Coke. We had beer, too. Probably weed, too.
Names are a problem. 35 years is a long time; you tend to forget. I don't fully trust the labels I've put on the pic, and welcome corrections.
==========
On June 1, 1971--before this party occurred, but not a lot before it--I recorded a tape to send home. Listened to it the other day, and pulled these names out of my comments:
o Burnis Johnson (we'll show a picture or two of BJ one of these days)
o Curtis Alford (see above)
o ??? Correll (???)
o Rick Edmonson (or Edmiston?)
o Charlie Panquerne (Charlie's the one member of the gang who died in Nam)
o Alexander Carson
o Oscar Siminski (his photo's already in the set)
o Pete Carlson
