| Message | I was stationed at Sawyer from 1974 till 1978. I loved the place even though I am from Georgia. One of these days I hope to go back and see the place. |

| Message | Ti is pretty in the summer However I hate to rain on anyone's parade, but I was stationed at K.I. from '67 to '69 & I remember the weather to be much worse than listed here. Please check base records as Marquette does not show much below zero ( at least as listed in the link from Wikipedia.) Winters were harsh. One winter we had show over the tops of the alert area fences & we traveled to outer post(I was an "APE" (Air Police) by either Power Wagons with cleated chains on all 4 corners or Arctic Crawlers (Airfield was closed these nights except for emergency workers and Airman stuck in the tower ops & on alert). We had to exit barracks via 2nd floor doors & pushed snow with the door to open it, I remember being told at guard mount on more than one night that temp was 64 degrees below with chill factor of 74 below. the base newspaper for Aug. 1967 stated the high on July 4th was 32 degrees & it snowed.

| Message | My father is m/sgt L.C."Chuck" Forester. He was a boomer at K.I. Sawyer from 1965-67 before we transferred back to Barksdale. We lived on Fury Street and I attended Gwinn HS. Met a lot of good people and had fun doing it. I would like to make contact again with fellow brat and Texan Mark Adams or anyone else who remembers us. Dad is still active and would like to hear from old friends too. The class of '69 is who I grew up with. The wife and I want to drive up and visit the UP sometime from our home in Lockhart, Texas. I will continue to check this site and support the museum. Keep up the good work.......Bruce Forester. |

| Message | Hi everyone. I am presently the President of the museum and the word right now is that we need help in the areas of funding and volunteers. We had to move our museum and the new building requires a lot of work, i.e. heat repair, ADA compliance, some plumbing work. All of this is costly but the building has great potential, lots of room and a very nice auditorium. Great for the community. But it won't happen unless we get help. We would like to purchase the building and then do the necessary repairs to the building. By owning it we become eligible for additional funding. Thanks. |
