    It appears that this picture was taken at Ron O'Bonswain's home during a crew party. Ron's face is barely visible, back row, 5th from left, sipping on his drink. The head to left of Rick Sproule and facing/talking to Ron O'Bonswain is Doug Burr (FCO). The other "unknown" facing Chuck Larson might be F/O Hugh Anderson. ( Comment from Michael Koerner - "I think the occasion was for a going away party or retirement party for F/L Harry Addison." )
