The candelabra had been salvaged from the chapel area that had collapsed 1-2 years earlier. Note about three down on the right, a blond head of hair. This is a mannequin sent to the pole several years earlier with a variety of wigs, etc.
I had made some wine using canned grape juice and baker’s yeast --- it was undrinkable.
In the foreground is Walker (Navy) then Witalis (Weather Bureau) and then Jones (Navy).
