Table cloth dating from 7 May 1969 with hand sewn names and a hand sewn 71st FIS patch in the middle. The names appear to be the spouses of the pilots or maintenance people who deployed to Korea in 1969 with the 71 FIS from Malmstrom AFB, MT. Possibly a sewing party or some type of commemoration by the wives while their husbands were deployed to Korea. Paul Perron (Paul Perron, MSgt (Ret), USAF 1981-2007) has had this for many years and purchased it off of a popular internet auction site. Paul sent these photos to me in Nov 2019.

UPDATE: Gary Foust of Cornfield Bomber fame, arrived at the 71st in October 1969 shortly after the unit returned from Korea. His wife Susan had him look at the names and he did not recognize any last names as pilots. Frank Dutcher however does recognize Anna Santy's signature as the spouse of MSgt Santy in MA-1. So maybe these are maintenance folks wives.
