Good and interested crowd. Were you there!

Note the No Smoking Sign

All's well that ends well…

Party Time! LCMDR. Siegel to the right. I know this party was after October 1947. That was when NAS 214 could begin wearing civilian clothes off Base

LCMDR. Siegel and his wife are joined by others at their table

A partner for everyone. A bus brought young ladies and their chaperones from Rabat

I remember how anxious 90% or more of us were to wear our civvies!

Food was both good and delicious! And there was always plenty of it

If you look closely in some of these pictures, Pepsi Cola was a favorite drink! (web-editor note! Obviously there were no Seabees in attendance)
