Here are pictures of class of 1949 taken at the Long Branch Army Camp also known as the Rifle Range. The teacher was a Miss Hoffman, some of the names in the picture. Bobby Jung, Teddy Long &; Billy Hepworth. The names are hard to read because of the age of the printing, however I am able to read them. There is also a picture of myself on a swing which was probably taken in 1949 as well.
Hope you can view them.
Thank You

The pictures are awesome. I lived in the army camp in 1947 or 1948.
I have a few memories but no pictures. I remember a fire in one of the buildings. My Dad fighting the fire. I recall the bed bugs and cockroaches. A family named Upshaw and a boy named Merton was a trouble maker.
[In a message to me Mariann Hamilton added: “It was so great to hear stories from other people who lived there.”]
Wonderful to read your message Mariann! I’m pleased you enjoyed the pictures that people from the army camp have shared. I’m pleased that people have shared some great stories.
