Description
An unidentified assistant (L-R), hunches over a rifle and walks carefully through an obstacle course in a forested area. He leads a group of survival school students; Brian Schwarz, Marilyn Chandler, Ron Venn, Jack Madeley, Allen Mons, and Joel Turner behind him. The students all hold rifles. The 160-acre camp, better known as the Starlight Training Center in Liberal, Missouri, was owned by Harry Claflin, a former U.S. Marine in Vietnam. The students are U.S. civilians with different backgrounds and professions who paid money in exchange for survivalist training.
