Below: Probably early 1968. Entertainment in the mess hall. Rock'n roll band from Australia and our very own crewchief/doorgunner Sam Sours in the first photo with the microphone and the Australian babe firmly in hand… They're both babes, aren't they? The accompaniment often was, and appears to be on this evening, Oriental (very often Korean). Second photo is of Sam at the 174th AHC Reunion in Ft. Walton Beach, FL, in 1999.

(Webmaster Update: In July 2003 I got an e-mail note from an Aussie that corrects the original label to this photo. Here is the e-mail, "Dear Jim, Many years have passed now and have just dropped into your web site. Just want you to know that the photo showing Sam Sours with the band is wrong, as the band is a Filipino band and not Australian. Now you might ask how the hell do I know? Well I worked that hot hall with the Aussie band called the "Fun and Dames Show" in 68 or 69, I think in November and I was the bass player for them and also with great pride I still have my original "Sharks" patch that was given to me. Just had to point that out, as our girls were far better looking. Now I have your site will go through it and see if I can remember more, as now I'm approaching 60 and the memory fades a little. The very best to all. John Manley, Redcliffe, 4020 Queensland Australia.)
