The photo was taken in 1966, by a TIME photographer who was accompanying the Marine infantry battalion we were air lifting up near the border with Laos. He mailed me a copy of the photo I never actually knew he was taking. I had just received a commission to 2nd Lt three months earlier at our base camp at Ky Ha, Vietnam.

This is a photo of TERRY WILLIAMSON '51 when he was 20 years old, in the Army....stationed in Germany.

Terry attend "Faching", which he described as something similar to Mardi Gras.

I wish the picture was in color becasue Terry described the outfit he wore as....a colorful shirt, tied at the waist...a purple garter on one leg and a red one on the other with his LONGJOHNS tucked into some bright colored socks. He was the hit of the party of over 1000 people in a large arena in Hanua Germany. When someone asked him what he was going to wear to the next one, he said he would probably go naked. Hold your breath for that picture....*grin*

There's another one coming with Terry and another one of his friends...look for that soon.

Fourth-graders at Lauderdale School were hard at work at their old-school desks Feb. 11, 1952, with plans for a spectacular Valentine's Day shindig in the works. The seated kids were making lacy Valentine cards, while those in line were depositing their finished cards in a pretty Valentine's box wielded by Miss Rose Albertine, the teacher.
