From the Archives heads down today to Coronado for this photo from May 12, 1973, of the Flag Ball at the Hotel del Coronado. The archived caption identifies the woman at left as Sybil Stockdale, with the famed Rear Adm. James Stockdale at right. The information for the two at the center is incomplete, and the man’s last name is likely misspelled “MacLaughin.” It identifies the woman only as “Mrs.” The man appears to be another storied military leader, Marine Lt. Gen. John McLaughlin.
