Crew members from all over the U.S. are sending email and pictures.
This latest group of pictures is from an old crew member Max Putz, who received his discharge then attended UCLA to become a teacher. Max is retired now. It takes a special kind of person to desire a teaching career and I admire them. Max lives in the Los Angeles area.
