Larry,

The crew photo looks great !!!   You did a great job of getting the picture 
"operational."

The crew names, and or crew positions, as I recall them, are as follows:

Standing, from left to right:
       A1C Hopkins, CIM
       MSgt. Cecil "Pappy" Gilpin, Sr. Flight Engineer
       Lt. Dan McKenzie, Co-PIlot
       Lt. Col "Ziggy Dara," EWO (Electronic Warfare Officer)
       A1C Hank Smith, CIM
       A1C Bob Parmenter, CIM
       SSgt Clary, Radio Operator
       -------, unknown job
       Sgt Tom Pera, In Flight Tech.

Kneeling, from left to right:
       Capt. Pratt, Navigator
       Capt. -------, Navigator
       Lt. Dermody, CICO
       Major Bob Febig, Aircraft Commander 
       TSgt. ------, Flight Engineer
       A1C --------, CIM
       SSgt or TSgt Malcom Rice, In Flight Tech
       TSgt Breedlove, ACICO

Two CIM's not in the photograph, but part of the regular crew:
Sgt. Michael Rubin
A1C Condrado Rico

As of this time, that is the best I could do to recall positions and names.  I 
have not located any more specificity at this time.  When I do, I will advise
you.

Thank you so very much for including the Crew photo of Crew 40-1 and the other
information about our crew on your webpage. 

Thanks,
Hank Smith
Crew 40-1, CIM
