Here I am getting my picture taken as I take a photo of the Commander of the Seventh Fleet and a Chinese General. This was aboard the USS Oklahoma in Keelung Harbor Taiwan about 1961.
I have contributed a lot of photographs and stories to my fiends blog ustdc.blogspot.com and he has done a great job of covering the times that the U.S. military was in Taiwan in force. His blog has earned an award for one of the best Taiwan blogs. Although you may not know a lot about this wonderful country, I think you will still find it an interesting site. There is a search engine on the blog and if you enter my name it will bring up postings have to do with me. Give me some feed back if you can please.
Now that the Jacksonville Jaguars season is over I can concentrate on this blog instead of

I believe the visit of the USS Oklahoma City to Keelung was on April 4-7, 1962.

The Commander of the Seventh Fleet in the photo is VAdm. William A. Schoech, who was the commander during Oct 28, 1961 - Oct 13, 1962.

The Taiwanese general in the photo is probably Peng, Meng-Chi彭孟緝, a four-star General-in-Chief of Taiwan in the early 1960s.

Thanks Victor your input is invaluable to us who can't remember dates, places and faces.
I hope that you can solve more of my problems like this.
Sarj, I'll try my best. Matter of fact, I can't take the credit. Google_Taiwan and Google_USA did most of the jobs. ^_^
