A pal from Guam, a reunion of a few of us on the East coast 1982 pic taken at Sal's home town in Conn.
Sal, Guam 1957
Trail, Guam 1957. When aircraft, were within 150 mile's of Guam they had to check in. "Air Force jet one five zero, this is Watertown, I copy you 5 by 5, standby one, over". That included civilian aircraft. Sometime's the pilot would forget, try to be tricky and turn around and come back in. If they didn't check in, they would scramble fighter's, to go out and check them out, and that would get there attention!!
Sal, me, and Robert. Robert is from Lancaster, Penn. Picture taken in 1982 in Penn. Sal, drove me halfway to Lancaster to meet Bob, so I could spend a few day's in Lancaster. That is where the Wallace's first lived when coming here in 1724. Have family buired there.

Trail, deep sea fishing off the coast of Guam, 1962. Some of the guy's I worked with in the Base Procurement office at Andersen AFB, Guam. Guam, is where my son Scott was created.
