was a member of field unit 5 television division, servicing and demonstrating
the military capabilities of the portable TV Telescout Camera system. Field unit
5 was made up of a number of personnel that along with NCOIC
MSG Horace
Freeman, who is included in your present personnel roster, were sent TDY on
various demonstration and application assignments.
"I was quartered across the street from
the now Kaufman Astoria Studio which was at that time part of the Army Pictorial
Center. Field unit 5 with the other field units worked out of a military motor
pool on Northern Blvd. and 48th street in Astoria.
"Field unit 5 along with others
participated in the atomic tests at Camp Desert Rock,Neveda August 1957. My
picture is on the front page of the Las Vegas Sun, August 21,1957."
