Was US Air Force photographer/photojournalist from 1959 to 1981. In 1969 and 70 was in Vietnam. For a few months worked in a photo recon lab processing film shot by RF101s and RF4Cs. Last part of my tour was a combat photographer. Came from Vietnam to be an instructor in the Air Force Photo School in Denver. Got there a few months too late to see the C&TS equipment move but was there for the first run. Thanks to the Air Force, I was stationed in Denver 7 of my 22 years, two tours as an instructor at Lowry Air Base.
