On ladder: Burdell Cobb (Chief Burdell Cobb over Dave in Hawaii); 3rd man from left; E.C. Pate; the 5th man from the left (under ladder and behind 4th and 6th man) was ?? Peterson; the 7th man from the left was ?? Cochran; gentleman on the far right whittled some earrings out of peach seeds and gave them to Dave’s wife. (He carved a monkey holding his tail out of the seeds. Have you ever tried to cut into a peach seed? It’s hard!)

AVIATION DAVE'S WEBLOG 
Dear Mr. Wilson:
I found this very interesting picture of an Argentine Air Force A-4 sailing in the web whose link connected me to his beautiful log.
I think that this A-4B belong to the second delivery to my country becasue it shown painted. The first A-4’s came in metal finish paint.
Perhaps have you another pictures of our A-4? I have a very special fondness to this airplane.
I f you have anything from my country, just write me.
Yours sincerely
Carlos A. Garcia
The man on the far right is Ray Bollinger. I worked with him on the F-4 program and in the machine shop. I have several articles that he carved out of peach seeds. He was a very good man. The man standing next to him I think is Jay Raines.
Burdell Cobb is my grandpa. It is really neat to see him in this picture. Thank you.
