I'm looking for Dave Rosen from Boston. He was on C Flight the same years I was there. I also listed a group of names in a previous message I entered. I would like to add John Durham (Defensice Halfback), Norm Bloom (Guard in Basketball & Linebacker in football) and Joe Madden, the greatest defensive end ever. John Durham, Norm Bloom and Joe Madden were all on the 1964 7-0-1 Football Championship team. I'm looking forward to the reunion in either St. Louis or San Antonio and am in the process of contacting other C-Flight personnel. I need the date and location when it is determined.

Hakata was one of my better assignments in Security Service. I waws on Charlie Flight most of my tour but went on days for the last few months. We had a great Crew on Charlie and I enjoyed working with all of them, I was block Controller and then Mission Supervisor, before going on days in Evaluation.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I STUMBLED UPON THIS SITE. IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME, I WAS AT USAFFS HAKATA 1971 to 1972 & WAS SOMEWHAT INVOLVED IN THE SHUTDOWN. I WAS AN ELECTRONICS TECH/ CRYPTO REPAIR. MOST OF MY TIME WAS AT THE OLD DF SITE DOWN THE ROAD AT THE OLD BRADY AF. IF ANYBODY FROM ABOUT THAT TIME READS THIS, PLEASE DROP ME A LINE. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. JACK SCHAEFER.
