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.

Dixie_Cups_Show.JPGPleiku series127 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 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.}

{Montagnards were indigenous to the mountainous areas of Vietnam; they were a very friendly people and somehow managed to stay out of the entanglements with the VC and NVA. The Vietnamese people weren't so lucky.}
