Ran across this the other day. I shot it back in the early to mid 80's. Patrick O. Ford was a Navy Gunners Mate who was killed in action in Vietnam. His heroic actions won him the Navy Cross.
In the early 80's the Navy was building FFG's, a fast destroyer type with a bunch of weapon capabilities. One of the first built was FFG-53 Patrick O Ford. For the commissioning ceremony the ship needed a pic of the Vietnam Memorial. The criteria was a single pic that depicted the memorial, Washington DC, and his name. I scanned the neg and made a print. It actually looks better than the origonal "C" prints I made back then. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/newtmaker/PatrickOFordweb.jpg Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
