Was stationed at Elmendorf from 67-70. Can’t say I remember your dad, but I have slept since then. Could be we were on different flights. I was on Baker Flight.
I was on Charlie Flight from July 1969 until January 1972
Nov. 1967-69 then on to Kelly 6993rd until Jan. 1971.
Hopefully your site will jog my memory.
I certainly remember your father. I was in Alaska at the 6981st from 1968-70. I worked on Dog Flight and lived in the barracks. Your father was my immediate supervisor for a time along with SSGT. Imperial. Your father, as I remember him, was just a regular guy, more concerned with doing the job than with all the military stuffiness. He was easy to talk to and had a great sense of humor. My memory is that he was always in motion. He was a good influence on all the young guys. You should be very proud of him.
Tried to post this earlier, but it didn’t appear. I knew your father pretty well. I worked under him and SSgt. Imperial in the MSD section. Your father was someone who did his job well, without all the military stuffiness. He had a wonderful sense of humor and always seemed to be on the go (though I have an image of him getting “stressed” when “hot” items came up). He was fair to all and was a great influence on the younger guys like me. You should be very proud of your father.
Was stationed at the 6981st in 64 &65. Some of the names I recall were, Major Applegate, Squadron Commander, and Sgt. Griner, Squadron 1st Sgt. Worked with a Master Sgt Hampton, Staff Sgt Woody Woodworth, Tech Sgt Wargo, and a couple of ditty bops, Sgt Cooper and Sgt Griffin. Cooper, Griffin, and Hampton formed a bluegrass band, the Chugach Mountain Boys. Does that strike a chord with anyone? Am looking for Sgt. Woodworth in particular.
Stationed at Lackland, Keesler, Goodfellow, Corry Field, NSA, and Elmendorf between 63 and 65. Early out when rotated back to the states. Honorable Discharge, Maelstrom AFB. Have contact with a few, but looking for others, particularly Sgt Woody Woodworth who was stationed at Elmendorf in 64 & 65. Any help appreciated.
Correction. Elmendorf in 64 – 66. It has been a long time. (-:
