| JIMMY DEDMON - 1963 - 1965 |
| SSgt Jimmy Dedmon with barracks in the background. All the pics were 1963-65. All the SSgts in the pics were 2-T guys. We were in Misawa, Japan in 1961-63, which was a two year tour and then went on to Linkou for an 18 month tour. Jimmy was the Baker Flight Controller for a while. |
Jimmy paid an old man $20 to allow him to ride his water buffalo. As you can see, the picture was shot just as he was being thrown. The person behind him is Baker Flight's NCOIC, Leonard Newton. He was watching Jim being thrown. He was stumbling and was intent on saving his beer. |
