This isn't exactly a mystery picture. That's Vern Moberly, deceased, of Laramie, Wyoming, on the far right in the dark jacket. The picture was provided in July, 2003, by his son, Jim. But who are the rest of the men? Any ideas? July 28, 2003 I received the following information just the other day: HI BILL, BINGO I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SEND A LIST OF SOME OF
THE CREWMATES REGARDS, TOM MCKENNA And here's a note I received on August 31, 2003: I just ran across your Santa Fe website, and I can help with the identification of a couple of men. I was on the Santa Fe late in the war 1945-46. I was a radar technician, 2nd class. The "Gunnery Division Mystery Photo" was actually taken in l945. There are four radar tech gang members on the top row. Second from left is Rollin Nordeen. I can't recall the name of the third from left, but he was a tech. Fourth from left is Gilbert Brittain, fifth from left is myself. It brought back a few memories of 58 years ago. With a follow-up later in the day: I have just come across the exact photo in my almost forgotten files. I can now fill in: #3-Brink, ETM 3rd class, #18-Circo, yeoman 3rd class. William S. Anders So I suppose this is no longer a "mystery picture." I received this note on November 16, 2006:
I just saw your web
site of the Santa Fe and spotted my dad in one of your mystery pictures.
He is in the gunnery division, in the bottom row -- 11, Lozano. His
full name is Edmond Lozano, and he died in 1998. I am his daughter Lydia
Lozano Gonzalez. Thank you
