DescriptionPhotograph, Black and white; Personal horizontal image with six men in bunk room or stateroom 0111, which the pilots in squadron VA-34 nicknamed Triple Stix. The men are talking, and there are alcohol bottles in the middle of them. One man is looking into the camera. The men appear to have light skin, although some of them are in shadow. There is a privacy curtain pulled back from the beds, and a fan in motion next to it. There is a map on the cabinets behind the group of men.There is a white border around the image and there is "Dec 67" printed in black ink on the right edge. Back of the photo has "A Kodak Paper" repeating in faint black ink.
A note from the donor identifies the men in the photograph. From left to right: Bob Richard, BF Ben Heald, Jim VanLiere, Dave Lawley, "Noisey" (Doug Peterson) and Dick Havican. The note also points to the fan in the photo and says "The Fan."
