WO Fred Thompson, Shark 7
Sugar Bear Gambrell
Jarvis "Sugar Bear" Gambrell in the confines of his cubicle in the Shark hootch, Dec 1971, holding his captured SKS rifle. In a note, Fred says, "...I have to ask Jim Kinne about the number of weapons Sugar-Beast maintened and had within reach at any given time. I was new and never asked
him--people from Texas were from a different gallaxy compared to California kids."
