Sampaquita Enlisted Men's Club3
By Bob Long

This was taken in 1970 on my first Westpac on the Vega.  That's me on the left, RM3 Ken Pappas in the center and RM2 Oliver "Brad" Bradshaw on the right.  Believe it or not, I do remember the little ladies name.  She is Mercy Carpio, one of the Social Entertainers the club employed to chat and dance with the sailors.
