I took this picture of Istanbul after we left Haydarpasha Railroad Station on a ferryboat. I'm really proud of this picture but have to admit it was dumb luck.  Just like that single game of chess I won from Alan Ragland.  I made a move...he studied the board and resigned.  I was quite surprised at that.  Alan, where are you?

Me in barrack room - notice the old ww2 style bunkbed, Grundig radio/record player that belonged to the guy that helped gut the wild boar:) and check the rug and table.  I think we were 2 or 3 people in this room.

My corner of a different barrck room with new style bunkbeds, and seeing some other stories, I now know where the old wooden ones went - for the overflow guys:/

Replacement :) he's from Massachusetts, town called Dennis or maybe it was East Dennis... hmmm South Dennis?  One of the Dennis derivatives I am certain. I just cannot recall his name or any of the new guys who arrived with him and that really irks me because I can picture one other guy in my mind to this day and of course this pic:)

Roommates, l to r: A guy from Virginia, Minn; radioman A3C from NYC area, Cec Biddle, and me.

Me in my corner with the TUSLOG Det 3 cap:)
