Don, Regarding the July 1964 Advancement photo with Cdr. J DeGhanal. I had dinner with former PR-3 Johnnny Kukta (back row left) with his wife in Ontario CA about 5 years ago. I was working as an Army contractor and met John on one of my many TAD/TDY trips to Ft. Irwin CA. Also when i worked for the Army, I worked with Ret. MCPO Mike Solley who was the brother of AE-1 Tom Solley in H-9. Tom was also my next door neighbor in Lake Mary at that time.
