Per Cdr E. E. Guffey's (my father) flight log this show was on Dec 21, 1968. He was C.O. of VRC-50 from July '68 thru july '69. His squadron got to fly USO shows all over S E Asia. He said being C.O. of a 'cargo' squadron turned out to be the best job he ever had! BTW he got to he "Raquel Welch" into a 'mae west'. We still have the pictures somewhere.

I served on board this ship, USS Ranger, and we are
trying to save her as a MUSEUM. You can buy my book and help save the
Ranger. Also, my book is available on eBay charity auctions for American
Red Cross. Anyway, a couple of great ways to get my book and do
some good. Check out my ship on YouTube, the USS Ranger CV-61.

Bob Hope always made every Christmas merrier when he was around and still thanks to venues like You Tube.
