Cliff & Dale

Cliff was my first cousin.  He was attached to a B29 squadron. They stayed in the tents shown here in the background.  Cliff took me for a joy ride in a jeep and the time got away from us.  He was an officer and he told me not to worry that the ship would not leave me as I was the quartermaster.  Anyway it did and I was listed AWOL.  Fortunately Cliff was able to hitch me a ride on a B29 to the island where my ship was headed and I was actually in the harbor waiting for my ship when it arrived.  No one on board could believe I was really there ahead of them.
