I served at APO in 1958 and 1959 as
a still photographer in the Camera Branch. My wife
Jean, who passed away from cancer in 1985,
served as the secretary in the Camera Branch at the same
time.
I worked with Pete Turner and Ron
Kuntz at the time and as I recall Sgt.
Oscar Trost and Sgt. Marks were
also in the branch.
I would love to hear from anyone who was there at the time.
I still keep in contact with Ron Kuntz and Francis
Webb, who served in the supply room.
After being discharged from the Army, I returned to Durham,
NC, where I worked as a photojournalist for the local
newspaper for 50 years before my retirement in January of
this year.

Editor's Note:
Harold Moore won the Pic of the Week
photo contest, described in the August 17, 1958, issue of
the New York Daily News:
Army Fotog Cops
Pvt. Harold Moore, a photographer
stationed with the Army Pictorial Center at 35-11 35th Ave.,
Long Island City, used his own Speed Graphic with a 4.5 lens
to shoot his winner. It shows two grinning kids armed with a
ball and bat and is titles "It Happens Every Spring".
Moore, who plans to return to his
home in Durham, N.C., at the end of his hitch, photographed
the youngsters last summer in a Durham playground.
This is the first New York winner
for Moore who has won a number of photo contests back home.
He was a newspaper photographer in civilian life.
Moore passed away in 2010.
