As promised, I am attaching a photo of my sea school class. We were class E-7. We graduated in December 1962 and I received my ship assignment to the USS Shangri-La in February 1963. Most of us got our sea going orders in January after spending Christmas leave at home, but a few were assigned in December 1962. I can identify some of the Marines in the photo, but I am having some difficulty attaching names on some of them. If anyone can name anyone in the photo, please respond. I am the first on in the third row. I believe four or five of the people in the photo served with me aboard the "Shang".
