My version of that smashing pumpkins' song A minor change from the usual. I still get a lot of hits from people looking for Ra5c Vigilantes. Unfourtunetly I haven't scanned any additional pictures since my ancient iMac died and my scanner became its attendant paperweight. I should just go out and get a new scanner, but I'm stubborn. The old scanner still works I just need it to work with OS X. I haven't put any photographs up on this web log since I started to have to sFTP everything up to the server by hand, back in August. I hadn't wanted to deal with sorting out Radio web logs way of dealing with pictures [post - posting analysis: awkward but managable]. In the meantime this is among the last of the photo's I scanned previously. There are no Ra5cs here, three members of a Ra5c squadron though. In this picture is my friend Mark Edmunds who I have written of previously. Yes he is an actual person. He is the person in this photograph who most looks like he belongs where he is. And he was. I am in this picture too. I'm the person who least looks like he belongs there, yet I did belong - more so than some of the others in this picture. The assembly here was all the junior enlisted people in our unit. This was on the USS Ranger CV 61. No Officers no Chiefs no First Class petty officers. An assortment of ratings are included: DPs Photographer Mates, Draftsmen, ISs, possibly a Sonar Tech or two. (1979.) 11:53:35 PM    comment [];trackback [];
