PACFO : Messages : 578-607 of 607

Hello everyone,

I think I remember you, Jim. I remembered I visited the com. center and telephone mainframes and you guy did such a pretty job that I demanded my installers to do the same when I returned from active duty and worked for the then Standard Oil Company of California (now Chevron Corporation) in San Francisco. It is nice to hear from you. Jesse, and George. Hope to hear more from other folks.

Happy Thanksgiving Holiday!!

George, did you remembered the burnt turkey that Yolanda roasted....her first in her life. But it was pretty tasty though.

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for the nice greetings. My frozen turkey thawed out last Friday so I had to cook it. Thankfully, nothing is left of the 14 lb bird but the smell. When you live alone as I do, you can move holidays around to suit yourself.

It is nice you hear from a few PACFO people. Eric Wong and I still stay in touch but no one ever posts anything but you, Jesse.

I hope you and Ruth have a great time. Also if any other PACFOers are listening in, I hope your Thanksgiving will be as good or better than mine. Now please pass the ham as I am sick of turkey!

Hi George,

I haven't sent any updates for a long time. Mainly because we lead the ordinary and dull lives of people in their 70"s. Is ths possible when we were in our 20's and 30's such a short time ago?

Sorry to hear about the busted leg, George. Hope you got the high speed model crutches. I just got down from the roof replacing a gutter guard that had blown off last winter (Actually, it was knocked off by 2 guys hired to shovel our roof after the snow had built up to 30 inches on it). Carol was holding the ladder for ol' shaky me and I vowed that would be my last time up on the roof ever again. We got back to Michigan in January this year because we sold our place in Port Isabel, Tx that we had ben going to for the past 15 years. So instead of five months there each year, we are planing to go to Gulf Shores, Al for Jan and Feb only this year. Lani's husband tok a job transfer to Baton Rouge last year, so we'l stop and se them plus they are only 4 hours over to see us on some of the wekends.

We are going on a 12 day cruise next week leaving from Philadelphia down the Delaware and Chesapeake then up to Portland Me and then to St johns and Halifax, Novaa Scotia.

George, I looked at the pictures that Quentin Jones posted. They are great and bought back many memories. Never got up to Pleiku, but I did a Nixon ARVNization job at Vung Tau using a FRC-109 M/W from there in a back-to-back baseband relay connecting to an existing Tropo system previusly linking Phan Thiet (over on the coast) with the Vung Tau Signal Mountain site I had a real mad pilot on my butt because he had taken fire at Pleiku and the S/Sgt who was supposed to meet him at the Ving Tau air base got drunk and never showed up to off-load the system. The team chief sent him back to Ft Huachca pronto because the guy was no use to the team any other time either.

Thanks to Quentin for putting up the great pictures. Take care of that broken leg, George.

Greetings:

I hope at least a few of us have survived the Summer of 09. It has been a rough one for me as I have fallen several times and broke several bones in my left leg. Right now I am able to get around in a limited fashion. So far I am not on wheels yet!

Hi Tom,

Good to hear from you, too.  Sorry about the delay in posting your
message.  Yahoo seemed to think it was spam and held it for me to
approve.  Since they didn't tell me I needed to do anything, I didn't
see your message was hung up until this morning.

Thanks for the good wishes.  At least nothing more has happened lately
and I am slowly recovering.

Hope you and family have a good summer.  I hear it is hot out your way!

George

Thanks Jesse for the good wishes. I was sort of happy to see Summer

in our group as I have not heard much from any of the PACFOers for quite

On April 17th, I dislocated my left knee while coming down the stairs in
the house. As I pitched forward I tried to stop the fall by hanging on
to the railing with my right hand... dislocated my right shoulder and
then landed in a heap on top of my left leg, shattering a thigh bone and
spraining my ankle. It has taken 3 months but I am getting around again
but much more slowly and carefully.

On top of that the weather has been terrible here in Maryland. I have
been flooded twice this spring and then week before last I had a
personal sized tornado sit down in the backyard while I was sitting
there. We managed to get into the house but were dodging huge limbs
that were crashing down all around us. The biggest one weighed about
600 lb.s and missed me by one foot. The limb had been torn off my tulip
poplar at about the 80 ft. level, was blown over the top of my house and
landed on my back walkway missing me but taking out my concrete
birdbath. My neighbor was not as lucky. A big limb came off his oak
tree and went straight down thru the roof of his brick garage. All of
the lawn chairs that we had been peacefully sitting in moments before
were blown into a big heap.

Thank you Jesse and George for your good wishes. Yes, there has not been very quite in the last six month or so. Everyone must be very busy.

I am sorry to hear about George's medical and tornado problems. We hope you are fully recovered. As we live in California, we always afraid that the Big One (earthquake) is coming....but none of us can predict when. Just be prepared - like the Boy Scouts.

I enjoyed reading messages from everyone on this website and happy to learn what and how you doing in your retirement. Please keep them coming.

I had retired the third time (not by choice) from my consulting job last September since my official retirement from Chevron Corporation in 1999. I missed work very much. In order to keep busy, Yolanda and I go to the gym every weekday morning for 1.5 to 2.5 hours. In the afternoon and/or evening, I take woodworking and photography classes. I built a toy chest for our grandsons and a house-plant stand/table for Yolanda; they came out okay I thought. Unfortunately, there is no class offered for woodworking and photography this summer. We still keep busy with social and professional activities every weekend though.

We try to do more overseas travel while we are still able to walk and climb. We visited Egypt and Jordan in late February and early March. We cruised the Niles; visited the pyramids, the Valley of the Kings, and Valley of the Queen in Egypt, and Petra in Jordan. In May, we spent two weeks in Peru. We climbed the Machu Picchu and visited the world's largest floating islands. We just returned from Hawaii (attending a wedding) two days ago. I forgot to bring Nelson Chong's phone number so I missed the chance to talk to him while I was in Honolulu (I visited the Chongs about 3 or 4 year ago).

We have received notices on the Thai-Oki reunions. However, I missed the chance to meet with several PACFOers because work schedule prevented me to attend that reunion. It would be great if many of us would participate in these events....so we can get re-acquainted again.

Until next time, take care.

Since this is a message, I am sending it to all on my e-mail list. I hope some additional people can join us in Daytoa.

OKI-THAI SIGNAL REUNION 2009

Daytona Beach, Florida October 20-25

Dear Oki-Thai Veteran,

This letter is going to all who have responded to previous correspondence as being interested in our reunions. I don’t want to discourage anyone from staying in a maybe status but would be interested in those who no longer can make it. I am also interested if you have a spouse or guest who is not on the list but is attending. Our tentative list, follows later. The time is now to firm up your plans for attending the 2009 reunion. Many people express the feeling that they do not want to attend the reunion because there are not that many people on the roster that they know, so they probably won't know that many people at the reunion. There is enough commonality among those attending that you soon get the feeling that you know them. Some of the attendees were probably doing your job before you got there or after you left. Another thing to do is round up those you know on the roster and agree to get reacquainted at the reunion. Many attending have made many new friends by attending the reunions and look forward to seeing them at the next reunion. Don't worry that you feel that the wives will be left out, in no time at all they are normally right in the swing of things and enjoying the comradeship, our reunions would not be as successful as they are without their support. Don't say “I will try to make it next year“, we are getting too old for that. List of tentative attendees some have sent pre registration form others have indicated intentions by other means, if information is not correct let me know:

The hotel which sits right on the beach features a fitness center, heated outdoor ocean front pool, in room coffee, restaurant and many other amenities. Rates for run of the house/best available are $68.00 a night plus 12.5% room tax, these rates are good Sunday October 18 until October 31 for those desiring to come in early or stay late. Our block which guarantees these rates is good until September 20^th, we urge EARLY reservations because they are important for planning purposes. There will be a special raffle for all who make their hotel reservations by July15. Remember when the block is booked out we no longer have the guaranteed rate or room availability. To make reservations call 1-386-761-2050 and identify yourself as being with the Oki-Thai Group. Your room must be guaranteed by credit card, money order or check. Cancellations must be made 7 days prior to arrival date or if you do not check in before midnight otherwise 1 room night will be charged. An exception will be made for emergencies or health problem. A complimentary continental breakfast coupon will be issued to all at check in.

The reunion fees are $50 per person, there is $5 per person credit for those who make reservations through the group. This credit is based on the freebees the hotel gives us through our hotel reservations. This fee covers the cost of the banquet, items in the hospitality suite, name tags and administrative fees. There will be a special raffle for all whose registrations are received prior to August 15. Every attempt will be made to refund all but a $5 service fee up until 3 October when our firm count is given to the hotel for the banquet.

Tuesday Hospitality Suite, will open at noon and is available 24 hours a day. It will be stocked with sodas and snacks as part of your reunion fee. A limited amount of alcoholic beverages will be available on Tuesday until they run out, after that bring your own, ice and chasers will be available. We will keep the suite open as long as someone is in it, but the last one out must lock the door. No beverages can be brought out to the main lobby or restaurant outlets.

Tuesday /Wednesday - is set aside for those wishing to tour on their own or for small groups who indicated interest in the Daytona 500 Experience or the Museum of Arts and Sciences. Brochures are available for both of these events and a sign up sheet will be posted in the hospitality suite. Also the Sun Cruz Casino in Port Canaveral has a bus pickup available for those wishing to go. The front desk has tickets available for free cruise ticket (there is an $8 port fee) and meal. Bus normally departs about 8:30 AM for the 11 AM cruise. See front desk for details.

Thursday Ponce Inlet - A quaint “Old Florida” town offers a sampling of some of the area’s best waterfront restaurants, the Manatee tour boat and Inlet Lighthouse. I have made some tentative arrangements with the Inlet Harbor Restaurant which has a 25 seat passenger bus to pick us about up about 2:30 PM. If this does not work out we will car pool to Ponce Inlet which is about 7 miles south of the hotel.

With comfortable seating areas in the terminal, easy access to rental cars, and no long lines at security, you'll be in and out quickly -- giving you even more time to enjoy the area! Those who arrive at Daytona International Airport and don't plan to use a rental car may wish to use the Yellow Cab shuttle service to the hotel. Fare is about$10.00 each way.

B. Orlando International Airport - Located an hour's drive from Daytona Beach, Orlando International Airport is one of the nation's major airports and serviced by many domestic and international carriers. Rental car recommended.

C. Orlando Sanford Airport - International charter and scheduled domestic service are available. The Daytona Beach area is located 35 miles northeast of the Orlando Sanford Airport via Interstate 4. Rental car recommended.

D. Jacksonville International Airport - Another option is the Jacksonville International Airport, approximately two hours' drive north of Daytona Beach. This airport is conveniently located just off Interstate 95. Rental car recommended.

E. If you are driving to Daytona we recommend using 1-95 exit # 256 (Port Orange/SR 421). Continue east on SR 421 (Dunlawton) to S. Atlantic. Turn left on S. Atlantic. The hotel will be about ½ mile north on your right.

Future Reunions

A. Punch Le Blanc has volunteered to host the reunion in 2010 in Baton Rouge LA. Punch suggested we can convene in Baton Rouge and take day trips to New Orleans because of the cost of New Orleans accommodations. He also has suggested a later date for this due to the possibility of hurricanes and the high humidity in the summer. The date for this reunion will be discussed further at the 2009 reunion. Since we are about due to go west again I had recommended Arizona as a possible site for a reunion. There was some interest in this expressed at the reunion. I have a proposal from the Best Western Dobson Ranch Inn, Mesa Arizona. The rates quoted for 2010 at $75 a night seem reasonable. It is 11 miles SE of The Phoenix Airport. There seems to be plenty to see there and we have quite a few of our members that area. I believe this would be a great area all we need is for someone to step forward and host this. I will as usual be glad to assist as will other members of our group.

B. The continuation of our reunions depends on volunteers to step forward and set up and host them. While there is work involved in setting them up there is also a lot of satisfaction when you see old comrades being reunited and enjoying themselves through your efforts. Many of our past reunions have been set up by our older members who will soon not be able to continue this effort. Please fill out the info sheet following the registration sheet.

We look forward to seeing you in Daytona Beach. Roy Gettz & Ken (Punchy) Kraft -- Reunion Host

1. As a reminder the Daytona Beach Visitors Bureau puts out a Visitors Guide. It is loaded with information and maps, to get a copy call Linda McMahon at 1-800-544-0415 X132 or e-mail at McMahon@.... You can visit the CVB at www.daytonabeach.com. If your tour info has changed let me know.

2. Punchy Kraft and I will be going up to Daytona to firm up our plans later this month or early May. We are also negotiating with a steel Caribbean style band that also does regular music for the banquet if it can be squeezed into our budget.

2. The tentative attend list is from those who have filled out the questionnaire and those who have just indicated they will be there by message. I would appreciate hearing from those who are tentatively considering on coming and an update on tours if applicable. I am reasonably certain that there are quite a few who are not on the list below due to past reunion attendance.There are also a few on the tentative list who are very tentative. If you no longer have the basic letter let me know. The hotel info is not very current if you have made your reservations and are not on the list let me know. As a reminder to make reservations call 1-386-761-2050 and identify yourself as attending the Oki-Thai Reunion. If I have you listed as needing a name tag and you already have one let me know.

Hi George,

I didn't participate in that debauch; at least I don't think I did.
Although the brain cells may have been so pickled I don't remember.
But I do remember a night at the Top of the Rock Annex when we were
building a pyramid of San Miguel bottles. I seem to remember it was
about 3 cases worth and that Sam and John were in on that one.  Also
a hike up one of the streams with a couple of 2 liter bottles of
OB.  Or was it Orion?  Can't repeat what you said when you jumped
into the pool, at least not in polite company.

The mess is indeed that.  I have been debating if I have saved
enough just to throw in the towel, but my 401(k) took such a hit
that I don't think so.  Looks like I may have to put in another 6 -
8 years. You govm'nt people -- out at 30, a bit envious of that.

I'll forward my resume separately.

Take care

Larry

Hi John,

Great hearing from you.  It's hard to believe it has been 35 years.
Michigan seems too cold, you're not in the "uppa" are you?  I'm sorry
to hear of Connie's loss.  She was still in high school the last time
I saw her. Seems like yesterday at times.

I will forward my resume to you.  I assume you have MSWord?  Just
looking for people who may know people who may know people.  Something
akin to the six degrees of separation.  Ohmygod, I just realize that I
know someone who knows someone who knows Obama.  Maybe I should
forward my resume.

Take care

Larry

Hey Larry and All,

I guess there is 'all' as it seems we are down to just Larry, John Douglas and me??? I guess old age is catching up with the group.

Good memory, Larry. I remember being thrown out of many clubs on Okinawa. Were you with me when Ocuma O Club closed early and we helped ourselves until about 2 AM. We payed for all of our drinks but I know they must have had hell reweighing all of the bottles. Geeze, I hope that is beyond the statute of limitations?

I am sorry to hear you got into the lay off mess. Every few years, it seemed as though I would lose my job. I even got a letter tossing me out the gate at Ft. Huachuca... but then they thought better of it and promoted me to GS-13 and demoted the personnel officer who wrote the letter from GS-14 to GS-13. He never seemed to like me after that. So I came close but managed to get credit for 30 years of service in 1996 when I retired. It must be terrible to have your life turned upside down like that. Especially now when the economic situation is so uncertain.

You have my respect for wanting to take the PE tests for licensing this late in life. I am having trouble counting the fingers I have on each hand at this point. The IRS pointed out my forgetfullness just this year. I just paid what they said I owed as they seemed to be much smarter than I am. Now I learn that our dear Mayor Marion Barry hasn't paid taxes for 7 years now and they haven't done anything to him. If I can be of any help in your references, please let me know.

Regards,

George

Hi Larry,

Welcome back. It is good to hear from you again. We must have come back from Oki about the same time as I returned in July '73 after feive and a half great years working in the EM branch, Xsmn Div under Sam Glassman and Bill Neuendorff. Then they messed my life up and made me a Director of Comm at Dugway PG and ater 3 years there, I moved on in the same job to Red River AD in Texas for 10 years. After a couple more years at Rock Island, I bailed out on the early retirement offer of '88 with 27 total years.. We now live in northrn Michigan. We used to spend the winter months in Texas near South Padre Island. After going there for the past 18 years, we decided to sell the place this year. Our daughter Connie lost her husband a few years ago and has moved from Salt Lake City to be near us in Alpena, Mi So we decided to be here with her and make some short winter trips to warm up somewhere in future years. It was also getting to be a pain to keep up maintaining two places. Seems like I was spending more time finin' than enjoyin'.

One of the many things I remember about you is when you came over to our house in Kishaba and find Carol doing one of her many craft projects, you always came out with "Watcha builin', Carol?" Do you remember that?

Let's keep in touch. And if there is any way I could help your resume, let me know, but I don't think anything from an old, retired fart is going to open many doors for you

Best regards. John and Carol Douglas

George,

Would that I were you. I got caught up in the layoff mees the week
before Thnaksgiving. I'm trying to determine if I have enough saved
up to retire or if I need to keep plugging away.

Can't say I entirely remember that going away party, except that we
got to the club and demanded they open up for us, and then protested
when they threw us out after closing.

I'm currently living in Colorado Springs having moved my way across
the country in steps from Florida then South Carolina and finally here.

I've been signal integrity work for the past 14 years. It seem the
early education in microwaves at PACFO has stood me in good stead.
Until I was let go I had been working on the latest incarnation of
Fibre Channel storage networks with data running around at 16GHz.

I'm looking into studying for and taking the professional engineer's
exam and getting licensed in Colorado to help fill my time. I may need
to ask you and some other folks on this list to be references on the
application. Seems the licensing board need verification of work
history back to high school.

Take care all

Larry

Greetings,

Welcome to Lt. Larry Barnes with PACFO from 1972 -73.  Larry and I
overlapped by 6 months or so.  I left PACFO for Ft. Huachuca in June of
1972 when you guys poured me on the plane down in Naha.

How is life treating you, Larry?  I have been retired from the
government since May 1995.  Good thing I did as I might do it with the
economic conditions today.

Please welcome Jim Novacek to the PACFO Group.

I worked out of PACFO from August 68 to December 69.. I was one of the
guys stuck inside a frame terminating thousands of wires.. Jim

We overlapped tours. I was a cpt. at that time but converted to civil service in Jan. 1969.

I am sorry to have taken so long to post this as I have been down with the flu for nearly 2 weeks.
I surely do want my money back on that worthless flu shot!

Hope everyone is doing well this year... sitting on your money and praying!!!
