Roland's shots here are of a combined base function with US personnel and local people. Col "Bo" Bottomly was the 355th Wing Commander at the time.|

Colonel "Bo" Bottomly, by all accounts another fine 355th TFW Commander |
Col "Bo" cutting a huge cake with Thai and American flags at the top. I don't believe I saw a cake the entire year I was there |

Oh, yeah. This should build a little teamwork! Put enough Thais and GIs on this rope and we'll just pull that elephant all around the base. I doubt it ended that way. Elephants are found all over Thailand, hauling logs is their most common job |
Some "Spark Chasers" is how Roland (standing center) labeled this one. And without them to find those "sparks" and short circuits, things would have fizzled to a halt very quickly |
