Thomas Mckay - 1955
In this photograph is Thomas McKay on his 21st birthday. Tom graduated from Mar Vista in 1952 and returned to El Paso where he worked as a frame man for Mountain Bell Telephone Company before joining the United States Marine Corps, which sent him back to San Diego for training. Tom moved from boot camp, to a telephone and electronics course in San Diego, then to combat training in Oceanside, California as a prelude for duty in Korea. Instead, orders came from Gifu, Japan. Tom was assigned to a barracks that was once home to the Kamikaze pilots of World War II. When his unit moved to Yokosuka he began studying Japanese judo. http://www.convictedartist.com/thomas_mckay.html
