Promotion Ceremony in BG Kendrick's office. EM's being promoted (L to R): SP5 Jerry C. Tinsley; SP5 Eleanor D. Clark; SP5 William R. Pupke; SP4 Robert S. Bowditch, Jr.
 

   
The office shot is the classified control office of the 3 shop. Standing in the back is LTC David G. Dougherty, Plans Officer; then SP4 Bob Hammil, clerk, and standing to the right is SP5 Manfred Groth, NCOIC, who replaced SSG Berner after his death. I'm sitting at Fred's desk for some reason. My most vivid memory was the night of 22 Nov 1963 when I was Duty NCO and received an alert message when President Kennedy was assassinated.
