Pic-from-the-Past

October 2006

This old photo (below) was sent to the LOG by Pensioner Trinidad Sanchez of Carolina, P.R. It was taken in Saigon, Vietnam in 1966. The group had come ashore from the General Simon B. Buckner, a civilian-manned Army transport vessel. Sanchez is on the far right. Brother Sanchez began sailing with the SIU in 1967 from the port of San Francisco. He worked in the steward department. Before retiring in November 2005, he sailed aboard the USNS Fisher.
