I snapped this picture of an ARVN "tank" as it drove by one afternoon. Notice the dark clouds forming. This was during the monsoon season and huge downpour was just about to get us wet.

The "Huey" was constantly landing and taking off from our airbase. We heard this familiar sound 24 hours a day.

Inside the room where Church was held. This was pulpit. Can Tho, South Vietnam

This was the second pastor and his family. According to church leaders this family disappeared when the communist gained control of South Vietnam.

This is the pastor and family that ministered to the church during the first part of my attending. According to church leaders this family made it to the United States before the communist takeover. This picture was taken around fall, 1967. The actual church service was held in the pastors home. Notice large clay pots to collect rain water.

On one of my early trips about town I found a building identified as a Seventh-day Adventist Church. Being a SDA, I decided to visit the church at my earliest opportunity. This is the church congregation I worship with during my year in Can Tho, South Vietnam.

Typical street scene. Notice French style bread. The French had quite a influence on Vietnam. Many of my picture show the disrepair of streets, sidewalks, etc.

"River rats" poise for my camera. These boys used the river for swimming, washing, bathroom, and home. Many lived on boats parked in the background.

Kids loved to poise for any camera. These two were selling "something" for anyone who was willing to buy. We did not eat local foods! Instance sickness resulted if you did.

Cyclo drivers were everywhere. Some used motorcycles and others bicycles. Soldiers used cyclos to individually get from place to place. We encouraged them to race each other. The fare was very cheap at first, but as more US soldiers came to Can Tho, the prices soared. Soldiers referred to the drivers as "cowboys".
