Buildings at Mainsite r to l; Mess Hall and I think it's the NCO club next and I don't know the last one. |

Det 28 TUSLOG barracks. They had another building to the left of this one. |

Vern Shattuck in front of the administrative offices.
Vern and I graduated from high school together. It was quite a shock for me to walk into the post office one morning to find him standing there. |

Headquarters Building, Mainsite and the sign in front, TUSLOG Det 3 with the USAFSS logo indicates that this is 1959 and Det 1 has been deactivated. |

TUSLOG Det 1 (notice the 17th AF logo atop the barracks
and personnel office entry portico suggesting the foto was taken during
transition from Det 1 to Det 3) with A1C Andrew Richman, (I believe from
Colorado) base radio operator, and his assistant (from New York City) name
unknown.
Andrew was a German born guy who once complained to me about the English language. He said, "you say rough and tough and then you say doughnut. Why don't you say dufnut." You had to be there to hear this stuff. I went on to become a Speech-Language Pathologist, better unable to explain it to him. :) |

TUSLOG Det 3 Personnel Office, identifiable people are
TSGT Bill Wiard (of Kentucky Derby country) to the right, back left is
A1C Don Kingery, front is the First Sergeant, MSgt Mundt.
Could be SSgt Joe Gignac partly hidden by the filing cabinet. Sergeant Wiard was the finest supervisor I had ever known. Without him, I think my last six months would have been pretty precarious to say the least. Thanks Sarge. |

TSGT Bill Wiard best supervisor I ever had - bar none :) |

TUSLOG DET 1 unofficial departure token. This little card was given me during the Det 1 (7217th ABS days) by someone who departed with a smile on his face. |

NCO Club card and I think no credit was added by mistake in August 59 and not because I was being reassigned. I wonder how Sergeant Blochowski knew? The back showed I paid my bills but wasn't allowed credit in August, 59. No trusting in an A2C. I'd have paid, really! :) |

Guy B. Cooper (head of the accounting department) and Carl W. Hemp (accountant).
We went on a fishing trip one weekend to Lake Sapanja

into any wild boar but my roommate did and he was covered with blood. Not
