Congratulations to all who had a hand in the development and upkeep of it. You definitely went above and beyond the call of duty.

Anyone stationed there remembers this was the only place in town where you could get a 10 cent cup of coffee and check out the happenings. Guess the only thing left is the Pilgrim Monument. 02/09/2003 00:00:00 Name: Tom Page Clifford Soucy, your listed e-mail address (cliff@acninc.net) no longer works. Please contact me, as I have some important questions about some of the radar sites at which you were assigned. Thank you!! -- Tom 02/09/2003 00:00:00 Name: Del Turner Was assigned to Grand rapids from a tour in Japan in late 1959, worked for T/Sgt Stanly Sakai as Ground Radio repairman at the GA/TR site down the hill below the radar site. Was there untill 1961, transfering to the IBM schools in suport of the SAGE system and later assigned to the Sage Center at Battle Creek Mich. Later, the BUIC II and III site at Port Austin Mich. 02/09/2003 00:00:00 Name: Ed Weaver I found your picture of Texas Tower II (Model) by a TSgt R Aschert said to be at AFMuseum. We think we have it at Peterson AFB Museum. Our records indicate model made by TSgt R. Asbert (Living in Colorado Springs) and donated to us in 1996. We also have a Book of TT2 with pictures, newpaper items and a TT2 Newletter which we believe came from him also. We would like to find out if this is the same person and model. We tried to find him in the locate phone book...no luck. Any ideas? We will also contact the TT Association. Thanks (see www.petemuseum.org and click on `inside Exhibits`) 02/09/2003 00:00:00 Name: Tom Page This note is a response to Ed Weaver`s note below. It`s a good question. However, I looked at the two photos side by side, and clearly they are two entirely different models. Notice the radomes, for one thing. The model at the U.S. Air Force Museum has red-and-white checkerboard opaque radomes, while the model at the Peterson AFB museum has transparent radomes (allowing the radar antennas inside each dome to be viewed). The former also has a model helicopter on its deck, whereas the latter does not. The cranes of each are in different positions, too. See our ``Texas Towers`` page for two photos of the model in question at the U.S. Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio. -- Tom 02/08/2003 00:00:00 Name: GARY HETTEL HI AGAIN, ITS BEEN 35 + YEARS SINCE I`VE HEARD FROM YOU. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO. SERVED AT BAUDETTE AFS 1965-66 AT CHARLESTON AFS 1967-68 02/07/2003 00:00:00 Name: Jack Arensberg Served at 907th. and 762nd. RADRONs, 1962 to 1966 as 30352. Now live in Midland, Michigan and have been trying for several months to locate the Gap Filler that was here. No luck so far. Have talked to the newspaper and the Historical Society as well as several long time residents. But no luck so far. I know that it was an AN/FPS-14 and that it was closed down in 1965. Is there anyone who can give me a lead as to just where it was located? 02/06/2003 00:00:00 Name: Tony Paladini I helped build Sparrevohn,Alaska in June 1951,landing on lake 606 by PBY. 02/06/2003 00:00:00 Name: Ken Hamilton In May 1965, I found my 18 year old self dropped off at Cape Romanzoff.
