Pleiku_Street_Scene.JPGPleiku seriesLooking down the street in Pleiku. Notice the girl in the Ao Dai (dress). As she saw me starting to take the picture, she covered her face. I think this has something to do with the belief that the picture would take their soul. {Webmaster: Yes...this happened a lot}Mar 20, 2015

Pleiku_School_Girls.JPGPleiku seriesPleiku School Girls: Note the uniforms. The school was next to the church so I assume it was a church run school.
{Webmaster's Note: In the 60s and many years prior, Catholic churches were part of the US private (religious) school system and staffed by clergy and nuns. The Catholic school system today is a fraction of what it used to be.}Mar 20, 2015

{Webmaster's Note: The Dixie Cups were three students at the University of New Orleans in the 1960s. They recorded the song and made it big with that one number.}Mar 20, 2015
