BL-1965-Saigon6

So where was Betty Lou during all of the commotion at the air base?

 

Always one to explore different fashions, our favorite teenager went into a clothing store.

 

She was surprised when the sales staff started speaking to her in French. After a few minutes, Betty Lou found out that she was thought to be a daughter of one of the French colonial plantation owners (who had been recently driven out of the country).

 

At this time, there were a few military advisors working with the ARVN (Army of the Republic of Viet Nam). Not a lot of Americans in the country.

 

Betty Lou purchased a áo dài, the traditional dress of Vietnam. With her long dark hair, she looked like a (tall) native.
