Dawg Flight Personalities 1970 - Part I

Last update 10 July 99

These photos were taken by Dave "Doink" Vandierdonck (MI) at McCauley Beach the morning after working a mid shift, summer 1970.
McCauley Beach was a Special Services facility for U.S. Armed Forces stationed on Taiwan, The beach was located on the northwestern end of the island. McCauley beach had a three foot high white picket fence that ran through the entire width of the beach, dividing it into two sections. One side of the fence was marked by a sign that read "Reserved for Officers and Guests Only" while the sign on the other side read "Reserved for Enlisted Men and Guests Only". The Dawgs appreciated the fence, since it kept all the straight-laced "riffraff" off our side of the beach.
The last three pictures were taken at the ball field on Shu Linkou AS, located behind the compound and adjacent to the base antenna field. Great care had to be taken while fielding a fly ball not to run into an antenna pole as ol' Dawg Flighter John "JB" Davis (MD) did, injuring his groin (Ugh!), while playing right field during a game.
