| Message | To Gary Flesher: I was just looking at what i wrote last December. I said we marched over to the chow hall...that was wrong...we marched to class. I came from Upper Sandusky OH, small town of 4000, no black families so the South was different. I don't remember the names of any of the buildings. I know our classes were down near the flight line. Doe's could have been the name of the restaurant, I would make a special trip down there today if I knew they still had those great steaks. |

| Message | Was just browsing the web looking for information on Greenville AFB, Miss. I was stationed there in the summer of 1964 in the medical corpsman school. I only spent three months there but have fond memories of the small base. It must have closed down shortly after I left there. Enjoyed looking at the pictures on this website. Thanks |

| Message | Hi Roger Robertson, well you were not at GAFB long enough to remember anything....LOL. I would not remember the snow, as I was living in LA, CA. Hi Tom D, thanks for the kudo's about the web site. I don't remember a bowling alley, so I wonder if that was put in after 1955 or if I just don't remember it.......... If anyone has pictures of GAFB or the town, I would sure love to have a copy of them. People, buildings or whatever. email: [email protected]  |

| Message | Hi David Schindel, you did not say where up north and if your girlfriend was local or from up north. I was stationed at GAFB 1953 - 1955, but I don't seem to have the recollection of segregation that you do. Probably because I was used to it. I do remember the guys at the base telling that Nelson street was really a great place for African Americans. I have a base building location map on this web site. Do you remember what buildings you were involved with as student leader? Was the steak house called Doe's? |

| Message | Hi Bob Evenson, if they hadn't moved the shop section, I worked out of the Electric shop which was right next to the plumbing shop (if I remember correctly.) My civilian supvr (Gene T. Carroll) died a year or two ago. you may have knew him and there is a picture of him and other shop personnel on this web site. I came to GAFB in early 1953 and was discharged there in Aug 1955. There were no WAF's when I was stationed there. |

| Message | Lots of memories from GAFB. I was stationed there permanent party "62-63". I was in Civil Engineering - plumbing shop. I was a volunteer on funeral details, I was on the firing squad. We traveled all over Miss. and into Louis. burying anyone with military rights. Had a good time at the pool. We would climb over the wall at night and go skinny-dipping, was'nt always just guys either. There were lots of WAF's there in Medic's and Personel schools. Played alot of football there, won Base Championship in "63". |
