LZ_Lois_-_Inside_FB.JPGLZ Lois - Internal View of the FB 127 viewsI don't have many pictures of LZ Lois since I went on R&R to Hawaii a couple of weeks after leaving LZ St George and didn't have film until then. Spent very little time there since I went on a hip shoot to LZ Marie and then they called us back and moved the Brigade over the mountains to LZ Radcliffe and then on to LZ Tuffy.

Pleiku_School_Girls.JPGPleiku series127 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.}
