  Was stationed there in 77 & 78. Assigned to Patient Affairs under Lt H.E. Yost, MSC and HMCS Dahlke & an HM1Phillips.
  Part of my duties was as "Fleet Laison for Medical" However, about the only ported ships I remember providing any services for was either the USS Hunley or the USS Proteus. Those two Sub-Tenders did a rotation during the 2+ years I was on Guam.
  The new Club was opened while I was there to replace the one lost from Typhoon Pamela. Prior to the opening of the new Club, it was in the basement next to the Medical Records Section. Also remember having to "stay onboard" during one of the Typhoon Alerts when they would bring all the pregnant women in that were more than 28 weeks along and set up the basement Club as a temporary "additional" Maternity Ward. Could go have a drink with lots of women after work during those Typhoon Alerts! It certainly seemed odd, . . .but "only on Guam" situations of which there were many!

  Not a regulation haircut in the lot!  Who is the guy with the 'fro'? Reminds me of a guy I worked with in Personnel, Cleophas Lyons.

  David,

   

  The few female names I remember were nurses.  The Corps Wave just began arriving at the hospital in '74, just as the barracks remodel was underway, I think?  I've got a number of Guam pics stashed away that I'll gradually scan & post; maybe you'll be able to put names to the faces.  To be honest I don't recall socializing much with folks outside of nursing service and if I did, I was likely wasted at the club across the road from the barracks.  Such were the times and my skewed priorities!  Recognize any of this motely crew?  I'm sitting in the center with what turns into a nice moustache, 5 years later.

  Bob,

  I should remeber you as at one time I think I could name nearly everybody there being I worked in Personnel. I also made it a point to personally screen and welcome every enlisted female reporting to the hospital. I have in front of me a picture of the hospital and autographs of many people, Henry Meinecke being one. Do you remember Tressa Gibson, Mary Gottechalk or Lindsey Lincicome?

  I was at NavHospGuam from October '72 through July '74, first duty station out of Corps School.  During most of my time there I worked Ward B-3.  From Guam I went to the USS HANCOCK (CVA-19).  While on Hancock worked the evacs of Cambodia & Saigon & collected about 2,200 refugees.  Names from Guam I recall:  Dan Oswald, Ron Noto, Al Olsen, Kitty Cohen, Diane Aldridge, Henry Meinecke, Rich Hargraves, Ann Brown, Frank Dickie, Doug Hodge, Prelosky, Hovis, Scarborough, Hardy Lusher, Butch Hebron, Lonnie Stell.

  Dave,

  I remember all you mentioned except Prelosky, Thrift & Geisy. Henry was an HM2 at the time. I remember Marianas Baptist Church.  I went to Tamuning Baptist Church and to Melody Chapel once in a while on Friday Nights.

  Larry,

  I don't remember a "Henry". Cmdr. Prelosky was the HR Chief. HMC Jim Dumas and then HMCM Colvin, HM1 Larry Thrift, HM2 Cleophas Lyons, HM3 Geisy and HM Shelby Crabtree are all the people in the office I can recall.

  If you were a regular at the McKoon house you were also a regular at Marianas Baptist Church, and possibly Melody Chapel.

  I spent a fair amount of time at the McKoon house as well. I also remember Ken Pat. There was another guy that worked in the personnel office with you whose first name was Henry. He was an occasional visitor at the McKoon house. He diedsome years ago in a sky diving accident.

  I was actually doing a Google search for "Mac" and found that he had passed. Also I found Phillip's post. When we were in Guam Phillip was about nine years old and Francine about four. I'm glad to hear you have kept in touch with them. How is Virginia? I doubt she would remember me with all the guys who passed through her house but I spent a lot of time there with Ken Pat, a radiology technician.
