| Message | This North Carolina Tarheel had a cold awaking when I stepped off the plane at Marquette Airport and there was still snow piled up and this was May 1970. I grew to like the place and became accustomed to the snow. The local UPers were great people to be around and were always willing to help you out. I lived in a house on Presque Isle and it had a beautiful view of part of Lake Superior. I was in AGE of the 410th FMS and enjoyed being on the flight line with B52s and KC135s. Sac was the best duty as I later found out when I was shipped out to Thailand. Thanks Marquette for some terrific memories. |

| Message | Except for the cold I had a great tour at KI; from January 1969 through December 1969. I belonged to the Security Police Squadron while there. I have fond memories of the pizza place in Negaunee just around the corner from the base. I spent some time in both the security and police units. |

| Message | I was stationed at K.I. Sawyer from 1979 to 1982 (the last four years of my first 6-year enlistment). There were a lot of great things about K.I. Sawyer AFB, in my opinion, but among the people I worked with, it was quite clear that many colleagues did not agree with that opinion. Most of the people I worked with hated it there and hated their job. Since I felt exactly the opposite, it didn't make me a very popular person among my co-workers (believe it or not, I actually got some death threats and since we were all armed to the teeth (I myself often carried an M60 as part of my duties), it made those threats very real. On the other hand, one of the best things about my time there was two people I had the great honor to meet when I was there (hence my reason for this message; I'm looking for the). One was a doctor at the base hospital named Sue Hole (she was an LT at the time). She was married to another doctor at the base hospital, also last name of Hole. The other was a clerk/typist named Sue Dennis (she was an A1C at the time)and she was the most incredible woman I've ever known. She was my first "real love." She worked as a clerk/typist for either the refueling squadron, the bomber squadron, or the F/I squadron. Of anyone knows the whereabouts of either of these two woman, please contact me, as I'd like to find out what has become of them. |

| Message | Stationed AT K.I mid 1970 to Oct 72 when I got out. Was a tin nocker for the 410 FMS. Great memories of a great base. There were 4 of us living in a rented house in Gwinn, remember having to crawl out the window because the snow was so deep after a storm! I am planning to visit the museum soon. Thanks for keeping a great memory alive. |
