Hi Jim !

Thanks for the pictures of our WestPac run '58-'59 !

Some of the unidentified photos are people who are very familiar, but I've forgotten their names. The first photo "At anchor", was taken when we anchored in Chin Hi(?) Korea. I believe the center guy is me and the one to my left is 'Ponce'. #15 is me.

#19 is Dale Barious. #25 is Cooper.

Looking at these old photos bring back wonderful memories ! Thank you !

Thaddeus (Thad) Sowell TMCM(ss) ret
