Camp Patterson
Many
members were very happy to see this sign after a six hour drive down
Highway 5. We then still had about a 30 minute drive back to the Frank
Raines Park.

Chuck
Heindell and Lee Hutchins bring in the treasures of Camp Patterson

items were reproduced.

slab each year. Bob Thelander covered his Indian motorcycle next to
Harolds' jeep.

Carolyn
Simpson and Pat Thelander are AWOL at the Camp Patterson USO Dance in
1984. Wonder why they stopped wearing the uniforms?
More
troops at Camp Patterson!!! Lee and Joyce Hutchins, Bob and Pat
Thelander, and Hal Simpson, USAF Maj (Retired) all dressed up for the
USO Dance. Many individuals just sat around the room and quietly
watched the troops come back to life. The uniforms really made the
evening!
