)
These photos are a part of the SDASM archives C.M Daniels Collection and have very little information to go on, but seem to show some interesting history.
It wouldn't be difficult to tract down the basic
what's, when's and where's etc. of many of these guys, but I always get a kick out of some of the inside details and stories some of you have stored in the ole memory banks. So here's a bunch of random pics. Some are quite easy to figure out with or without the info I posted. But again many of you guys have some really outstanding personal info and stories so feel free to post if you like.
Thx in advance
