MORE FROM DARLENE / NPC

Sarj,

I have tried for years to find a suitable souvenir from NPC. I purchased this decal while stationed there. To date, it is all I have. If anyone knows where any NPC memorabilia can be purchased, please let me know. 

Just thought you might like to see what the old graduation programs looked like. 

Stay in touch.

Darlene BUROKER McCullough (Naval Photographic Center 1960)

Wow was my reaction when I received this email from Darlene. this is the whole reason for starting this blog in the first place. I was hoping that other Photo Mates would contribute photos and stories about their time in the Navy.  Here's what Darlene wrote. 

Sarj, 

I just discovered your blog. I was so excited to find the comment from Jim Diaz. He was my classmate (class 59-38). I arrived in Pensacola mid-July 1959, so I was coming as you were leaving. I graduated in February and received orders to NPC Anacostia, D.C. I worked in the still-black and white lab with the people pictured in a group photo of the people I have enclosed. My maiden name was Buroker, and I remained at NPC until my discharge. 

I married a Navy man, and had five children and eleven grandchildren. My husband CMD. David U. McCullough has been teaching at Lewis-Clark State College for the past twenty-two years, and he retired with twenty-two years active duty. 

This portrait of me was taken at the Naval Photographic Centre in 1960. The second photo was a farewell party for Sally Sweeney. The third photo is of my Burteaux (on the right), and I do not know the name of the man on the left. 

Being stationed in Florida was real treat for a gal from Idaho  I enjoyed photo school, and most of my classmates and hope to hear from someone who recognizes either me or the group shot from NPC.

Here are the other photos that she enclosed.

Thanks you so much for sharing Darlene.  I hope that someone will contact you. For now I guess that they will have to email me and then we can go from there. If you know Darlene or any of the others in the photos contact me and I can forward the email to Darlene if she agrees. 

UPDATE  DAN BOYINGTON

I just received an email from Dan's first wife Barbara Veal. She sent in a photo of herself, Dan and their 3 boys taken Easter time 1964.  I was so happy to get this photo but it sure seemed weird viewing this almost fifty years after I last saw Dan in Taiwan.  Late as it may be I still love it.

Barb has promised to send some more photos from the time they were in Taiwan.
