CMSgt Pesca is next to me on my right. SMSgt Mundie is in front of me.
I think you can locate me by insignia at the right end of the second row from front.
I have no idea what the occasion was for this photo.
We all appear quite relaxed and reasonably happy?
Note the "Const by RH 1967" sign on that good looking (for Cam Ranh Bay) building behind us.
