Truly, Enjoyed the site and looking at the photos. My Dad (Myron Taylor) was a "Charlie" flight guy. I wasn't able to attend the reunion in STL, but was able to pass on some thoughts for my Brother Col. Pat Taylor. It truly was a great place to spend teenage years, and a blessing to play football as a Junior in High School with the Hakata Rocket Championship Football Team, before closing the base in May of 72 and finishing school in Augsburg. God Bless each of you for letting me learn that Freedom comes at a cost, and sacrifice can be measured with living by service to others.

OOPS--It has been brought to my attention that I never updated my email address from about 6 years ago. My bad. The old Boeing address went bye-bye when I retired in May of 2003. Sorry about that. Any old friends with whom I am not currently in touch are invited to drop me a line at my current address, which is summercoon1@verizon.net. (A summer coon is an animal that is too skinny to eat and too ugly to sell, just like most of us were back in the Hakata days. The shoe fit me so I wore it.)

Saw Paul Cherry's info and connected with him by email. Dan Guisinger, Gary O Bennett, Glenn Johnson and Vic "Flash" Shumate continue to have constant contact by email. Also with J R Stafford who was not listed on Able flight. Would love to locate some others such as Arnie or Arnold Weiner who was from Michigan. If anyone knows anything about him, please let us know. Jack Weissenborn has been reached but very little contact. A great friend in Japan was Bob "Smokey" Paterno and we finally located him about a year after he had passed away. You guys do a great job with this site. Keep it up.

I am looking for Lonnie P. Hudson who was assigned to the 6918 4/61. We had gone to 702 school together. He grew up in West Virginia. Upon completion of 702 school in 1961, he was assigned to the 6918th and I went to the 6921st (Misawa). I never saw Lonnie again. Does anyone remember him, or know of his whereabouts?

There are two mistakes in naming the players on the 1964 basketball team. #13 is Joe Certa (Chicago) and #24 is Tim Bott (Grand Rapids, MI). By the way Tim's nickname was "TJ." I was not, to my knowledge, ever called TJ. Message Number: 173 - Monday, February 15, 2010 16:42:05 EST [IP = 137.118.239.66] -United States

I just found this site. What a great bunch of memories! I don't remember the picture of me that is in the gallery. I'll continue to check this site. Message Number: 171 - Wednesday, February 10, 2010 11:28:13 EST [IP = 71.98.223.110] -United States
Great memories with good people. After Hakata went to 6922nd at Clark and worked day shop till end of the air war in NVN. Just retired after 30 years teaching high school science/ chemistry. Still competing in 3 gun shooting competition and it is amazing to talk to the young men and women at Ft Benning on their second or third combat deployment...I dont think I was ever that young. God Bless
