Gary's mom and dad.We do not know if she was traveling with Deane and Ruth Hoover or just met them at the hotel. Deane Hoover worked for Kodak and lived in on Brookview Dr. in Irondequoit.

Gary was killed in Vietnam on January 2, 1968. I would love to talk with this girl to know if she possibly had more pictures of Gary when they were in Hawaii
Thank you,
