As I recall, the gentleman in the center holding what appear  to be sticks in his hands was the group "leader".  The sticks he is  holding are actually the parts to a crossbow which I bought from him for $3.00 worth of Piasters.....I still have the crossbow!!  Children every where!!  A very reproductive group of people!  Visiting the Montagnard Village  located ~15 clicks due north of Phouc Vinh.  I just happened to hitch a helicopter ride with some advisers who were going there that day.....  The children appeared to be well cared for
