| 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 |

| Message | Hello to all that served at the KI. I was based with the 62nd FIS on the Voodoo from April 1968 until Oct 1970 when I separated. I worked under MSGT Earl Avery. I have never been anywhere as cold as the KI before or after. My oldest was born on base (Jennifer) in Feb 1070 during a dual event, Blizzard and ORI. What fun! KI was one of the few bases where a low ranking E-3 could get base housing. We lived on Packet for almost two years. There was a small little gas station in the housing area where I worked for a year. I think the price per gallon was about .32 cents. Fond memories for me, it seems like two centuries ago. |

| Message | Hi everyone. I was stationed at KI Sawyer from Oct 1981 thru May 1985 in the 87th FIS. Woody then Biff, then Walt were my bosses in the T-33 Section. We were a very close small section of about 10-12 guys. I served 20.8 years, went around the world 3-times, and worked on 8 different types of aircraft, and only once did I have a section where the guys were so close. Oh yeah, I was the boss of the section of 4-6 guys and 2-females. Now that I'm much older, I find myself missing the nice people, people that tell the truth, and the simpler times. God bless the folks of the UP! |
