Dale - Palmer saw the attached picture while visiting this summer and suggested I send it to you for posting. It didn't scan very well but then it is over 50 years old. In case the title isn't legible it says "LACROSSE Brigade Runner-Up Fall 1955".

It was given to me by one of the civilian Ps in OPE while I was a Tac.

Maybe you can do something to enhance it.

BTW. I intentionally cropped the names off. See how many anyone can identify.

José,

Lousy quality. But I'll take a stab at some of them:

1st row. Dugan   (?)   Schwar   Gibbs   Card

2nd row. (?)     Pastore    (?)     Jones?   (1)    Morgan?(2)

3rd row. Milspaugh    (3)      (?)      (?)   Vandervort?   (?)     (?)      (?)

(1) Looks sort of like Ramsden, but he played corps squad la crosse.
(2) I don't remember Morgan playing anything but poker.
(3) Obviously 1st Cl Coach

Can I have the right answers now?

Stan

OK, this is my take:
Row 1 all '58, Dugan, Cockle, Schwar, Gibbs, Card
Row 2 Williams (57), Pastore (57), ??, Ogden (57), Bateman (57) - did he
really graduate?, Morgan (58),
Row 3 Lynch (56), Quiros (57), ??, ??, Enzing (57), ??, Manges (58), ??
I am sure Quiros played Corps Squad soccer. I am hoping that was a fall
sport and IM Lacrosse was spring.

Do I win the Prize? Obviously the ones I could not name were imposters
from another company.

I am sure Quiros played Corps Squad soccer.

Jose Bernardo Quiros, or whatever his name was, was the starting goal keeper

on the soccer team. Soccer was a fall sport, which I believe intermurder

lacrosse was, also? If so, I can't explain him being on the team.

Joe Shea and Bernardo got to be good friends later on. Maybe Joe can find

out.

Dale - Stan didn't know who was between Dugan and me. Do you think he would recognize Dan Enxing??? Joe

Cut me some slack on Cockle. I've never seen him without a hand mike, computer or a phone in his hand. -- Stan
