Memories For This Unit
Best Friends Capt. Robert N. Coble & Wife 1/Lt. Richard Martin & Wife Capt. Jerry Irwin & Wife Capt. Marion E. Confer & Wife	Best Moment The 91st ARS assignment was a memorable one. Made lots of good friends that we still meet and correspond with, but the high light was birth of our son, promotion to Captain and upgrade to A/C.

Worst Moment Trying to find housing when we first arrived. We lived in a Motel for 6 weeks before we located a duplex in Canal Winchester a small friendly town about 14 miles from the airbase.	Chain of Command 376th Bomb Wing (SAC) 801st Air Division (SAC) 8th Air Force (SAC) SAC Headquarters , Offutt AFB , Neb.

Other Memories 1. Two extended TDY's to the Azores. 2. Cuban Missile Crisis where we were sent to Goose Bay Labrador. 3. When transferring out of the 91st ARS to the 906th ARS there was a 3 month transition period into the KC-135. Six weeks of Ground School at Castle and six weeks of flying training at Roswell AFB N.M.
