PFC Toombs striking a pose for the camera in 1967 at Camp Matta, Korea.  Toombs was from Georgia or Alabama if my memory hasn't failed me alltogether.  He was an easygoing friendly guy.

PFC Jimmy L. Partin, Sr. in front of barracks at Camp Matta.  It had snowed all day Christmas Day 1967 and this was the first white Chirstmas this old East Texas boy had every seen. Boy was it cold!  I've never like the cold since Korea, the Hawk would cut right through you.

You only get three guesses what we were doing.
