The room was an open cubicle in the BOQ with a cot, open desk, wooden locker, and one chair. On the wall to his left is a faux Jackson Pollock painting he painted in Chu Lai. The front of the hootch had a large deck over a cliff with a view of the South China Sea. The building in the background was a trailer that belonged to chief of nurses or hospital commander. When he arrived at 91st Evacuation Hospital, the hospital commander was Col. Jack Tendler.
