This pic was hanging on wall in the duty office . As I got relieved at 0730 next day the CO walked in ...I asked where the photo came from and he said it had been around for years ...even in Norfolk before then went south. Nobody in VP-34 new where it came from or who the people were. Capt. Walline asked me if I knew anything about it. Hell yessir...I flew with a bunch of the same guys as fill in RM on some flights.
