SSG_Biggers.JPGSSG Kenneth "Bodie" Biggers92 viewsBodie Biggers a proud Texan and shake-n-bake E-6 as the honor graduate of the NCO school at Ft. Sill. Definite lifer tendencies, but a great guy who knew his stuff. He was FDC Section Chief and, I believe, later took over as Chief of Smoke when Chief went home. I think he received the Bronze w/V from the St. George fight. He brought back a pump pellet pistol from his R&R in Hawaii. The person sitting out a hand of Spades would use it to shoot at rats running across the CONEX "window".

Dixie_Cups_Show.JPGPleiku series92 viewsThe "Dixie Cups" Show: Famous for their hit song "Going To The Chapel". The one USO show I did get to see. Was at the NCO Training school at Enari and missed the Bob Hope Show.
{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.}

Pleiku_School_Girls.JPGPleiku series92 viewsPleiku 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.}
