General Note
Grilling steak at Boys Camp, 91st Evacuation Hospital, Chu Lai, Vietnam. Dr. Lee Leone, assistant neurosurgeon, on right; Dr. Burnard behind Leone; and Dr. Vakili, urologist, on left. 'Don't ask where the steaks came from and don't tell.' More than likely Dr. Tim Stuntz, also known as 'Scrounge' got the steaks and not from the mess hall. Building on left is BOQ 4 where Jim Evans lived from June-October 1970; air-conditioned trailer on right was billet for 91st Evacuation Hospital commander. The occasion was probably the farewell party for Sheldon Nicol and Jim B. Evans who left 91st Evacuation Hospital 24 October 1970.
