My father is a John Updegraff. He was in the Army, but I don't remember him mentioning anything about Fort Ord California. He is about 6' tall and has blue eyes, which he passed along to me. He has pretty much lived his whole life in Idaho. If you would like to email me, I can send you a picture of him from what I am guessing is that timeframe to see if you recognize him. I can be reached at
