When John Rachek, an old friend from Yokota, walked into the chow hall While I was at breakfast. I had arrive about a month ahead of him.

Really was none.

Chain of Command

India and Hotel Flights

   

Other Memories
Worked in both Hotel and India Flights.
Nice town with freindly residents.
Hanging out at city park on hot weekend afternoons then at Wagon Wheel Drive in at night.
Also remember Big Spring looking much larger than it really was when you drove down I20 at night. This was due to all the lights on the oil refinery on opposite side of highway from the city.
Being able to spend holidays and some weekends at my Aunt and Uncles in Grandbury TX.
