andya@diamondcity.net Currently live on Bull
Shoals Lake in Northern Arkansas. I own two manufacturing
companies in Diamond City. We build safety guards for
machinery and automatic fishing reels. Was assigned to Det
12, 10th RBS Squadron in Ironwood, MI in '62. We moved the
site to Bayshore in the summer of '63 and I mustered out
in October '63. My wife and I had a big Boxer dog and a
little blue VW back then. Wife's name is Joyce. She was
attending Univ. of Tulsa in '63 and that's where I headed
when I left Bayshore. I went to work for IBM and retired
in '94 after working in several divisions of the company.
Have two daughters that live in Phoenix. I remember that
during the summer we would take the detachment's aluminum
boat out to the lakes to picnic and water ski until late
at night. Looking forward to the next reunion. (12/06) |

Hired on with the post office in '89 as a carrier, am now
a maintenance relief supervisor. Been called up four times

small explosives business, tractor trailer outfit to haul
grain with, and a small farm in the most beautiful part of
America. 2 more years and I can hang it up with the post

arthritis in the spine. Who would have thought we could
have gotten this old? (9/05) |

Our oldest daughter, Holli, graduated from Grand Valley
State and is a part-owner of a therapy business in Grand
Rapids. She is married and has one daughter and gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Caleb James, on 9 April 2004. Our youngest daughter, Lisa,
graduated from Arizona State University in May and will attend the University of Arizona Med School in July 2004 to become a doctor in Pediatrics.
She is still
single and working full-time, also. Nami and I are still
working, saving for full-time retirement. I now work for Lufthansa at their student
pilot training school here by Phoenix. Nami works at
SunHealth, a
medical network out here. I suffered an aneurysm on my brain in 1999, had three surgeries and as you can see survived. We come
back to Michigan as much as possible to see our daughter, my Mom and my
sister, especially with the benefits from Lufthansa. We both play
golf and enjoy the sunshine year-round. By the way, the weather is great here and anyone coming to the valley for a vacation and requires any info e-mail me and I'll be glad to help.

Robert - After Guam, we were sent to Eglin AFB
in Fort Walton Beach. I worked as a Quality Assurance
Evaluator for an Operations and Maintenance Contract on
the vast land ranges the base has down here. It was
pretty interesting work seeing what most people only got
to read about. I mean QAing all the munitions testing
ranges, laser systems, guided missiles, ECM systems and
many more. Seeing that stuff really work was something
to see. I retired 2/93 as a SMSgt. I was in-line for
CMSgt but the Air Force wanted to send me to take over a
site in ICELAND. I told them, "No thanks." Ten
years in Bayshore was the last of the cold I ever
wanted. So I got out and worked for a contractor to
build up what we call the RFS (Radio Frequency
Simulator), which is used to simulate the path of a
missile in flight and test it against ECM and other
targets. It was shear Hell; the project was for $76
million and we had to get on line within a certain time
frame so we put in 12 hour days six days a week for the
four years I worked on the project. It was bad times for
us but it paid the bills. Then in 1/97 I got a job as a
civil servant doing what I did as a Blue Suiter. So
everything is going pretty good now. Leah got married;
Kim is going to college; Bobby is still in school. Yes,
I still have the Corvette and I am getting it ready for
some car shows. (6/00) |

I left Bayshore 8/80 and went to Det 8, Richmond. Stayed
there one year and cross-trained into "Biomedical
Equipment Repairs." From Richmond, I went to
Sheppard for tech school. I arrived at Chanute AFB
Hospital in IL 6/82. From here I went to a Contingency
Hospital in England (RAF Upwood) in Oct. '84. My oldest
son was born at Chanute (now 19 and will be a junior at
Liberty University, Lynchburg VA this fall). While at
Chanute and England, I was able to finish an Associate
and BS Degree. My two youngest, daughter (17) and son
(16) were born at Lakenheath England;
daughter will be a senior in high school and son will be
a sophomore. We left England in 10/87 and went to Dover
AFB Hospital in Delaware. We spent a year and a half
there until I was commissioned as a 2nd Lt. in June '89
as a Clinical Engineer. From there I was stationed at
Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center, Lackland AFB TX, Chief
of Clinical Engineering and Medical Equipment Management
Branch. It was a great and quick three years - promoted
to 1Lt. here. June '92, I was assigned to the Command
Surgeon's Office at what was then standing up Air Combat
Command (mix of SAC, TAC & MAC) Langley AFB, VA;
Chief, Clinical Engineering overseeing then 34
facilities; promoted to Captain in '93. Spent a little
over 3 years here and was assigned to Malcolm Grow
Medical Center, Andrews AFB MD as the Chief, Clinical
Engineering & Medical Equipment Repair Center. We
spent 3 years here and was reassigned back to the
Command Surgeon's Office where we currently are. Whew! a
lot has gone by in these what seem to be a quick 25
years! I retired as a Major at Langley AFB VA in Oct 02. However, they found it necessary to hire me back as a contractor doing pretty much what I was doing on active duty. God is
good! (1/04) |

I was a "founding member" of Bayshore Bomb Plot. I was assigned there right out of Keesler
6/63 when it was nothing more than a patch of dirt on the hill. We built the site from scratch and I can recall the C-47's coming in to mark the targets. I was a MPS-9/OA-215 operator and later did duty as a controller.
I remember George Daylong, Nick Galbraith, Sgt. Huff, Dick Mays, Esme's restaurant south of town, and, of course, Bud's Bar.
I spent time on the RBS Express in Missouri and Iowa and 3 months TDY in Detroit acting as a controller at the Nike sites around the city when B-52's were running against them. I fondly recall the many B-58 runs IP inbound from Chicago when the MPS-39 couldn't acquire the A/C and the cry "9, do you have him?", went out over the intercom. I left
3/65 for reassignment to Berlin, Germany in the ATC Center running back-up tracking radar in the Tasker section. After my discharge in 1966, I returned to Philadelphia with my wife (whom I met in Charlevoix) and presently work in sales in the computer industry.
