Wasn't the first one an A4 when J.R. Foster was CO, in '66 or '67?


Do you remember if this "J.R. Foster" red headed?
He may have been in a squadron with me.

Red hair and a nose to match! You've probably seen his photo many times
without knowing it. His resemblance to Uncle Sam in the "Uncle Sam
Wants You" poster was so close that some NAVRES wags got his official
photo morphed onto a plate in the Navy Printing Office. No one knows
how many prints were circulated before it was caught. I wish I had one.

That occurred after he had been CO of VX-4, CO of NAS Dallas, and was on
a revenge assigmnent as CoS to COMNAVRESCOM, Pierre Charbonneau (SP?)
