| Dick Bieser | dbieser@woh.rr.com | Thu May 15 13:02:20 2008 | Tale of get-together. Gerry Markle and our wives met in Dayton, OH 5/14 for a great dinner and a few stories. Gerry and I part of original group when Sands was set up. AACS boys from Germany came over to set up antennas. We were there 1951 to '53. Actually I left on detachment to Scotland (RAF Edzell) after one year at Sands. Have made contact with George Montague and Ed Hessler but hopefully find a few more "old timers" who are still breathing. Gerry and I had not seen each other in 50 some years and it was a ball.Any more from our era? |

He and I were classmates at the 2nd Goodfellow course for SIGINT officers, worked together at Chicksands, and were neighbors in Fort Meade housing when we both came back to NSA. Following Carl's USAF retirement, he worked at NSA till his full retirement after 39 years of federal service. |
| Eric Huesman | ehuesman@comcast.net | Tue Apr 22 17:49:28 2008 | Hello everyone! I was reminiscing about my tour at RAF Chicksands the other day and started doing a little internet searching on the old place. One link led to another and I found myself at this wonderful place. I served as an SP there from April 1994 until September 1995. Not only was I one of the "Final 99" (I have my coin to prove it!) but three other SP's and myself were the last four American military personnel there. We literally locked the gates when we left! I remember some names and many faces and would love to hear from anyone else that may have served with me. |

| Al Katner | Katner2@cox.net | Sat Apr 12 13:49:05 2008 | Does anyone remember the orphaniges we used to sponser? We would bring a bunch of kids go the base and give them a great day at Christmas time. I got involved the first year I was at Chicks and more or less ran it for 3 years. I think the most fun was buying the toys for the kids. We started out with about 7 homes and in the end I think we had about 25. One of the most satisying things I have ever don in my life. AND Lt Col Marin was fully behind me. |
| Roger Pankow | klausbaronco@yahoo.com | Fri Apr 11 15:26:29 2008 | Hi Anyone who served during 85-87 as a crypto linguist? I'd like to get in contact.

| Al Katner | Katner2@cox.net | Tue Apr 8 18:42:12 2008 | Was stationed at Chicks from 66 to 69. My first son was borned there and do I ever remember that trip from Sandy to the base and then to South (sp) Rislup. Worked in the Day shop my whole tour as I had a rep for plans. Had gone to a 242xx school while I was at Goodbuddy. Lt Col Laddie Marin was the OIC of ops and later when he got his Eagle was Base Cmdr for a while. One of the best officers I ever served under. (Now deceased.) I will never forget the only time that I was late for work in 3 years there Col Marin was at the top gate checking people.....He asked why I was late and I told him I had a flat tire on the way in, he said be in my office at 8:30. I was, and he let me know never to try to tell him a story again. Needless to say I had no trouble going to the bathroom for several days after that because he reamed me a new one. (And that man could do it, and make you feel good about yourself when he was through.) I could run on with more stories but guess I have rambled enough. If anyone wants to holler I'm at Katner2@cox.net. |

| Barry Jablon | bjablon@comcast.net | Wed Apr 2 11:22:44 2008 | Do any of the old Chix guys remember a guy named Pete Liscoe? He was at the Sands between '62 and '66. We were pretty friendly and then, if I recall correctly, he got two fast promotions and left in a real hurry. I wonder what ever happened to him. |

| LORN HINISH | lhinish@aol.com | Sun Jan 27 11:24:42 2008 | Never saw this site before and so glad that I came across it. I heard from Ed Hessler about this and looked in on it. I was one of the first people ther. Was on the crew from the 2nd (darmstadt) to do the site survey with Chief Warrent Officer Hawks and others. Then went back to darmstadt and then was transferred to Chicksands to heop set it up. We put us the first Di-Pole antenna to get started and then built bigger antennaes later. Those wer fun day. I was trying to remember the SSGT that assisted. He was the crazy one but man could he take the old dittybops. We talked alot about the chicksands ghost who roamed down by the bridge. Max Hawkes was later at the NSA where I went to work in 1955 when got out of the service on Friday and went back on Monday then went to the CIVOP progam at Herzo. OH man did I enjoy chicksands, and the trips to London with Joe Tomes. We had a ball at a special club in London , the Murzuka club on the West End. Do not know how many people knew that club but Joe and I had good times there. So I wish all those who was at chicksands good health and prosperty. LORN |

| Wayne Beebe | madcowhd@yahoo.com | Sun Jan 20 17:48:55 2008 | Hey all........thinking back to the mid-1970s - I am trying to locate a long lost British friend from my days at the Sands. Her name - Gina McElhone. Gina dated George Cartagena and then Gary Hartle. She was very good friends with Duke Hayden and Big Rosie. She married Wayne Beebe in Sep of 1978 and they left together that Dec - Wayne PCSing to San Antonio. Gina & Wayne divorced in 1981, and Gina stayed in the San Antonio area. Thru various searches, I found out that Gina remarried in 1992 to a Ronald Stephen Cantu in San Antonio but I can't find anything after that. Reason for trying to find Gina -- I've been in contact with Gina's sister, Maureen, and Maureen's son, Dean - both of whom have lost contact with Gina over the years and who are now trying to locate Gina on a family matter (which I cannot discuss). If anyone can provide any info relating to Gina's whereabouts please contact me at: madcowhd@yahoo.com Thanks to all for reading this and for anyone who can help. King B -- Fighting Chicks 74-78. |

| Ambrose Jackson | ajackson10@cfl.rr.com | Sun Dec 30 11:27:46 2007 | Zan, Thanks for getting the new back up. Hope it will stay free of the scum that screwed it up before.. I must be one of your oldest corresponents (3 tours from 1950 to 1959). Was able to make it to the 2000 reunion and made some old and many new friends. I was the first 203 at Chix, beginning operations in Jan 1951 with one position (me). I had a typewriter and an SP600 rcvr, no recorder. If you missed anything the first time, there was no go around. Those were the days. My partner was Don Kubeck, who was also a 203 but Polish, but he soon learned enough Russian to do the job. My boss was Max Hawkes, who was the Control NCOIC. We used to go to lunch everyday, and we flipped a coin to see who paid for lunch. It always was me. When I went back to Chix in 2000, I didn't recognize anything because of all the changes that had been made since 1959, the last time I had been there. I could go all day, but my recall isn't what it once was. |

Chicksands had such "Great" people!!! Was stationed there from July 1977 thru July 1979 with the ABGp/SP. Definitely one of the "Best Kept Secrets" in the Air Force. If you want, drop me a line. |

Was at the 6910th 1973-1974 in Augsburg when it closed down and the mission moved to Chicksands. Those were some great times and great memories. Mike and Connie Brouillette, Steve Caldwell, Dave Teman, Brad and Judy Solem, Charlie and Charlotte Bates, Larry Denston, Patty O'day, Frank Montoya, Roger Pfab, Mike (Ceasar) Chapman, Mike McGee, Tom Hart, Kerry and Dana Laughlin and a bunch of others made those days go by much too quickly! Merry Christmas to all of you and a Happy New Year! |

I was a 292 and went to Ramasun Station, Udorn, Thailand after my time at Chicks. Would like to hear from other guys who served at Chicks around the same time. I also keep in touch with other USAFSS members on the USAFSS Roll Call site. |

| David Cory | lawcory@gte.net | Sun Nov 25 22:46:58 2007 | Hi everyone, I was the deputy staff judge advocate in the 7274 Air Base Group legal office from June 1987 to February 1990, working first for staff judge advocate Major Ted Fink and then Major Rocky LaMuro, and serving a great group of people around the base. I left active duty in 1997, tranferring to the reserves, from which I then retired in 2005 as a Lt Col. I live in Florida now, where I practice law and also serve as an adjunct law professor for two universities. If anyone who remembers me wishes to say "hello" you can reach me via email at lawcory@gte.net or by phone (813) 662-0760. Best wishes, David Cory |

| Howard Aubrey | hcaubrey@(remove)insightbb.com | Wed Nov 21 18:52:14 2007 | Just wanted to say HEY. Glad to see this site is back in business. I ran the base safety program at Chix, 1978-1981. Got up to the hill about once a week, so some of you might remember me, but most probably don't. Went to SAC HQ after leaving the Chix, and retired in Jan, 1985. |

| Dave Moore | snafogo@yahoo.com | Wed Nov 21 17:24:21 2007 | well, well ! glad to see this site back up, I had stopped checking on it until I ran across an email on another site. Had benn using Video Ranch until it crashed and am not sure it will be back up. To protect myself, I can't help but mention that I am only one of the David Moores stationed at the sands. Seems like there were one or two others, one of which was not well liked by some folks on this site. I was stationed there 1957 to 1960 and was a very tame and inoffensive young ditty bopper who never got higher than Airman Second while there. Now I'm a tame and inoffensive old fart!...cheers and thanks Zan. |
