Well some Special Services guys and a Vietnamese band.
Never got to meet Maggie.
I think Bob Hope flew over us once on the way to a really big base.

That's why I'm a fan of anybody who will do it these days.

I saw Bob Hope in 1972 at Utapao RTAFB in Thailand. I was with some guys at Pattaya for a couple of days when he came so we went over to see him. In 1973 we also had the Skip Young who played Wally on the Ozzie and Harriet Show stop at our A Camp. A Jolly Green was flying him and a country band from NKP to Udorn. They had to fly right over us to get there so the crew told them we were there and they agreed to stop off for a show. That prick Skip Young drank my last case of beer while the show was going on!! But the band had a female singer who was the first round eye female I had seen in almost 2 years so I was distracted...
