There is no such person as Dr Teddy Stoddard. See the explanation at the link: http://www.snopes.com/glurge/teddy.asp Sorry to be a wet blanket....it is inspiring fiction, though.

We loved to share the stories of our Saigon days together, and sadly Dad cannot remember them any longer. So glad we have this website for sharing memories and pictures and movies of a memorable place few others can relate to.Thanks Bob.

It might take a while for the video to transfer from the host server. If that does not do it, "refresh" your screen then repeat above. If that doesn't do it, then it is a problem with your computer. Or, if you are using AOL for your Internet connection it could be a problem on AOL's side, as they seem to think they can decide what people can and can't view on their computers - LOL.

See Deja Vu: Vietnam Part 14 video. The Miami pool is shown at about 8 minutes into the video. <a href="http://saigonkidsamericancommunityschool.com/deja-vu-vietnam-part-14-saigon-and-cho-lon" rel="nofollow">Click Here</a> to view the video. It appears to me the roof top footage is from both the Rex Hotel and the Caravelle Hotel. The one with the brightly colored chairs, etc is the Rex Hotel roof top. The other one is the Caravelle Hotel roof top. Whoever was doing the filming had one heck of a 'zoom' feature on the camera, by the 'zoom in' they did from the Caravelle roof top over to the Rex roof top.

It had an olympic height diving board and one of the tunes on the juke box was "the Happy Organ" by Dave "Baby" Cortez. I don't recall where the pool was exactly, but we weren't members of the Cercle. I remember the rooftop they were on, but not which hotel it was. It could have been the hotel which housed AFRS.
