June 28, 2018, "The Donut Dollies"

Greetings!

Considerable time has passed since I last posted. Although I have no additional photographs to put up, I do have an interesting Web site that I'd like to mention to anyone who might be interested.

I was recently contacted by someone searching for information about one of the photos I used in my blog. It was not one of my own photos, but one that I'd found elsewhere on the Internet that provided for my introductory page, an aerial view of Danang Air Base very close to how I remembered it when I was there in 1965 and 1966. The watermark on the photo appears as: "Thang - Nguyen Xuan Arch - Collection".

If anyone has contact information for the Thang - Nguyen Xuan Arch collection, please let me know.

At any rate, the person who asked me about this photo is closely associated with a very interesting web-site! It is called the "Donut Dollies" and is dedicated to a very special group of young women who volunteered their time working for the Red Cross in some of the remotest locations of South Vietnam, from 1965-1972.

Check it out!
