RM2 Taylor, Virgil (at the time)

I found this photo in amongst my momentos, and forwarded a copy to Denny Remington and
Pete Marquith and a few others, to try and find out who all was in the picture. I doubt if very
many copies of this photo exist (if any at all).
I think I recognize a few i.e. Cady, Smith, Collins, Decker, Cpo Paul, SCPO Miller, French, and
possibly Simon.
If anyone can help to identify the personnel in the picture, I would appreciate a response so I
can place their name(s) on the reverse side. Thank you in advance. My email is:
"virginanna@bellsouth.net"
In case nobody recognizes my name, I worked in training with Carl Vidal, and worked as one of
the switchboard operators, and also worked back in ship/shore which I believe was located in
the back of "HICOM".
I arrived at NGR at the end of summer 67, married a local in Mar 69 and relocated to NorVA in
69.
I was wondering if anyone remembers being issued weapons and stationed about the command
during the JUNTA?
I was the one who was arrested for the murder of Darryl Lybarger at about 2:30 AM one morning
and while standing at attention in front of the CO, ole Darryl comes limping in (in the nude) and
covered with blood. His remark was "is someone looking for me"? I had a large promotion party
at my house in Nea Makri, and we had taken all of the windows off their hinges and piled them
up in one of the bedrooms. Well! Darryl found them and he placed a stepladder next to them and
climbed up and dove head first and broke nearly every one. Someone yelled the police are coming,
and we shoved Darryl behind the tub in the bathroom. I was immediately arrested, and taken to
the base. The final outcome was that I was ordered to have the house cleaned up and restored to
it's previous condition and then I had to move back on base. The murder charge was dropped.
Does anyone know the whereabouts of Thomas Seabaugh? He was the one who got me into trouble
because he wanted me to drive him to the pelaponese area to look for Tyznik's (I think his first
name was Robert) Sister-in-Law. Supposedly the girl's father didn't want her to be with him and
had her put in a monastery. Tyznik drove a red Thunderbird.

I'm Bill McCrea (my NGR chop was MAC) #21 in the photo. I left NGR in mid December 1968 and my predecessor as HI Comm receive op was #44
in the foto who is Don Wickham, who left in the Spring of 1968. So, this could not have been a 1969 foto.
