I wonder if Jan Burkholder whom I server with in "65", knew this Burkholder from "56"?
Anyone know this shipmate? If you do contact him about this envelope.

Brian Spooner had this comment: The photo of the men with hands on hips are both BM3's. One is Terry his last name) I don't know his first, could be Herman. The other I can't see well enough. I think BM3 Terry is from Tennessee or Texas.
Some of the faces have names in other photos.

Larry Laughead, FTG3 -- Even though he's labeled Sweeney, I really think it's Laughead said Ken Church

BM3 Herman P. Pressly Terry, USN.
Looks like Jody Himebaugh, SA/SN, standing behind Terry. said Wayne Farnum
