57 WEATHER RECON SOFTBALL TEAM

The 57th Weather Recon Softball Team is filled with unknowns. I think that is Robert J. Gordon on the far right, in the back. It is a good sharp picture and I hope somebody can help with the caption. I think this picture was posed on the next section of bleachers to the right of those seen in the batting action shot.

Batter is George Carey. Building #24 (see your Wetokian map) was the Dispensary.
