This photo appears to depict a more rough and tumble form of recreation. In fact, the tall man to the left, in jeans and boots, is Don Petty, who was a Radioman (RM) assigned to Naval Communications Station (NAVCOMSTA), Rota from 1964 to 1966. The other three individuals shown are members of the Rota Rodeo Club Clowns. The one on the ground is ___ Issaccs. Although it looks as though they may be there to entertain the fans, their real mission was to distract the bulls thus allowing thrown riders to escape the arena.
