 If there was one thing Korea had in abundance, it was cute kids.

Ted Spencer and Ron Artis lived down this path. This little girl was watching ants at work.
Life was good when the cotton candy vendor sat up shop on main street.


I've always wondered what happened to this little guy.


I suspected he was thinking, "I can take that skinny wimp."
Bought a lot of Coke, rice and veggies at this store.


A candy maker. Never did develop a taste for Korea candy -- wasn't sweet enough for my American taste buds.

 
This street ran parallel to and west of main street. Nick Justice lived in the neighborhood.

Headquarters of a local, uh, union.

SAD-III lived on the second floor of the barracks on the left. We had a lovely view of Da Ville from our back porch.
I put a couple of Army stickers in the urinals at our first Korean barracks. Don't know if they were still there when the Navy security detachment moved in.

Our house guys, taking a break.
The Mud Bowl 1971. Tackle football on the swampy lawn, which we turned into a muddy mess. HQ first sergeant went ballistic. We didn't care what that jackass thought, because we answered to MSgt Craft, and he rather enjoyed how we irritated the full-of-himself HQ top.
Flag football. Several SAD-III
troopies can be identified.
