1974 Ringling Blue Unit #1 (From Eric Beheim)

1974 Ringling-1, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. When the Ringling Blue Unit 104th Edition played San Diego in July 1974, I was in the western Pacific on board the aircraft carrier USS RANGER. By that time, the Vietnam war was over and my tour of active duty was about to come to an end. In late July or early August, I left the RANGER in the Philippines and flew back to the U.S. to be officially transfered into the inactive Naval Reserve. When I arrived home, the Ringling show was still appearing up in the Los Angeles area, and on August 8th, we drove up to Anaheim to attend a matinee performance.
