More OTS Squadron Picnic Pics, 1973

The first picture is of Patrick "Frenchy" Sanjenis.  I cannot tell what building he's standing in front of.

Pat and his parents had lived in Cuba before and just after Castro and the revolution.  They had known Castro and liked him.  But after the U.S. snubbed Castro and he turned to the USSR, the Sanjenis family left and returned to the United States.
The second photograph is of a line dance.  The guy with the cup in his mouth, I believe, was Lyle Dunable.  I think David Hunn is the guy in the middle.  I am the guy on the right end of the line.
You can see that our athletic sweat suits were not very stylish.  But with the "1" on our hats, we must have been first flight of the Blue Squadron.  If I recall, there were also a Green, Red, and Yellow Squadron.  Since blue is my favorite color, I often managed to get associated with something blue.
