Notes: Lcdr Mark Tiderman had been sent home with a broken starboard humerous incurred while arm wrestling. . . we picked him up again when we got back to Lemoore and turned around to get aboard Enterprise three months later. Frank Compton had not yet reported. . . he was shot down and Killed In Action along with Mark Tiderman in 1966. Jerry Shapiro made the 1966 Enterprise cruise, but doesn't appear in that photo - he probably had SDO or something.
