We were at Fort Gulick in 1973-74, and I remember “Mongolian Beef Night” and “Bingo Night” at the Officer’s Club. These things may not sound appealing to kids, but I remember I really enjoyed them. Looking back, our lives there were pretty simple, but I really loved it there.

In the Sailfish Club photo in Dec 39…..I see my Father John Sr and this was the first time I had ever seen this photo. I recall when our family would come to the Club for dinner and how special it was to all of us. In 39, I was just 8
