Message | Wow.. Such great memories come back to me from visiting this site. I was with the 410th MMS from 1980-1984. Oh what I'd give right now to go to Gwinn for a Jemma's sub sandwich! Back in those days, the smelt would run up the Tucoosh river in Gladstone MI and you could fill a cooler full of them in 5 minutes. Our squadron Commander would buy a keg and we'd have a huge fish fry in the lot next to the maintenance building. I was just a kid from the city back then, but the Sgt's took me under their wing and set my feet upon a path which I will always be grateful for. I think they would be proud of their efforts. I worked with Norm Raeck, Roger Gunsell, Bill Tackett, Bill Armstrong, Phil Kratz, Jim Spencer, Mark Lazarus, Dave Yamamoto, Joe Prusi, Joe Biskup, Chuck Colucci, OZ Oswalt, Gary Jerry, and so many more great guys in the WSA. If you see this drop me a line. I lived on Big Shag lake at Queen's Cottages for a few years and can remember seeing the Northern lights and shooting stars as I sat fishing at night in the great UP. The Wilsons were great people. One of the gifts that I still carry with me to this day is my love for country music. Learning skills and serving in the USAF were some of the best days of my life. To the people who work to preserve this part of history - I thank you for all your efforts. |

Message | Someone write, let me know how the 62nd went to the 87th and became the red bulls. I was in the 87th, but at Lockbourne A.F.B.,Ohio until 08/67. Also did transit work on F106's and F4's. The base at that time had a refueling wing of KC135's and several EC135's. When it went T.A.C. Langley moved a wing of KC130's to our base. Loved working on the 101B's. Our tail section was all blue with yellow stars. Did several T.D.Y's to Wurtsmith and Tyndall. Enjoyed all of them. |

Message | Stationed at K.I. from 65 to 67. CES, Heating plant. Looking for several friends from the old days and the Ishpeming/Negaunee/Marquette area. Mary Ann Akel, Jeannie Fassbender, Robin Hood, Carole Liimatainen and Micheal Ogea. Most, if not all have surely married over the years. But they, or their families, may still be in the area. Would really like to hear from, or about all. Any help in locating them would be greatly appriciated. Glen F, Gehlker 1st Sgt, USAF, Retired |
