Camp Owada, Japan: 1956

A small group consisting of myself and four army friends at the Camp Owada Receiver site near Tokyo, Japan. The photo was taken in 1956. Left to Right: Myself (Jim Carpenter), Hollis Killen, Marvin Tedder, Sam Panipinto and Leo Iten. On this particular occasion, we were working the night shift. When all was quiet with no work to do I put the camera on a tripod and used the self timer to take this picture. The camera was a 35mm Nikon S2 using plus X black and white film. Scanned from original 35mm negative. I kept in touch with Hollis Killen and Marvin Tedder over the years but they both are recently deceased. Though I have tried, I have been unable to locate Sam Panipinto or Leo Iten since leaving Japan in 1957. Such great friends as those I met during my tour of duty with the U.S. Army I’ll probably never meet again. View full size.

You weren't also known under the name Jeffrey Hunter, were you?

I did some searching.

I just had to try and find if I could find some information of Sam or Leo and this is what I came up with.

I found that Sam also somewhat recently died. I found the obituary of what I believe was Sam Panipinto's sister and through that page I found a page that states Sam's place and time of death.
