"...I was a power production guy - Oh, the joy of getting called to the flight line at 3 AM for another power outage. Just finding the P.O.L. building during an average "white out" was interesting - but not as much fun as informing the duty P.O.L. Sgt that I needed him to drive me around at -56 to refuel my generators!..."
Hometown: Cambridge,Ma Unit at Loring: 42 CES First day at Loring: Refused entry-no seat belts in my 61Buick Allowed entry after about 1 hour wait. Most memorable experience: Crossing the active in CE-8(1965 International SIX Pack) 65B 9023 "For Official Use Only". Almost got stuck in a snowdrift once with a B-52 on final! Loring Tower was not amused....O Last Day at Loring: I remember still snow on ground when I drove through main gate on 30 May for last time!c

Couple of years at Barksdale - then home to Boston and 37 years employed at Mass General Hospital -Now retired in Miami Beach-- No more snow!!!
