All celebrating Hernandez's birthday...

Smile Frank - You’re On Candid Camera
From Left to right: A very familiar face in the canteen is Frank Brennan, and with his back to us is Rodney Rodavich, then Ron Smith, and finally the bartender is Raymond Thomsen.
Also enjoying some canteen relaxation, in the background off to the far left, is MSGT. Hal Hudson, and to his left is Mess Sergeant SFC Warren Otto.
It's good to have a picture of Sgt. Otto, as he was not often in a situation to be photographed. He was usually back in the kitchen assuring a good meal.
Sgt. Otto gave us a great Mess Hall, which meant a lot.

Hangin’ Out In The Canteen
Other denizens of the deep are: Richard “Pic” Picariello, and behind Pic is Dale Paulson, then Bill Griffin of the IFC, Rodney Rodavich, and Ray Thomsen.

Supply Room Main Desk
Rich (Pic) Picariello, the guy on the far left in the photo just above, should remember this place. It was his office...!
Bring back memories Pic...?

The Supply Room Supplies
If you needed it, Supply had it.... Usually...!

Ummmmm... Wiener Schnitzel...!
John Aguirre, Bobby Hare, Gene Osment, Bobby Johnson, and Horace Reed had the munchies for a Schnitzel, and were they good.
Looking back, the deep fried breaded veal cutlet probably was not the most healthy snack to eat, but that was not an issue then.
Many a time while on duty in the launching area someone was “volunteered” to hop in the jeep and drive down to the Gasthaus Ochsen in Haberschlacht, or the Gasthaus Linde in Niederhofen, for goodies to enhance our pinochle games in between the old 2 on 4 off guard duty tours. In fact that delicious German dark bread was as good as what was inside.

Eeeek..., How Dare You...!
Ron Larson hammin' it up with Bobby Johnson looking on. And in the background John Aguirre is giving Windell Kelly a lesson in wall lockers.
)
Aw Shut-up And Deal Fitzpatrick...!
a high stakes card game with the likes of Jim Fitzpatrick dealing, and to his left and around the table is Johnny Vytrcil, Martin Rivera, Bill Mansell, John Aguirre, Leo Brach, and Bill Harris. That looks like a pretty thick deck, so I'm guessing it's a double deck pinochle game.

Gene Osment... Ready For Inspection...!
