Larry, it sure is great to hear from someone that was stationed in the squadron that i was in. While I was stationed there from May 1965 to l966,  I'm sure the area itself didn't change too much from then until the time you were there.  I remember the tennis court, also a great place on base where you could find a great hamburger. Please let me know what your E-mail is so I can talk more about your experiences there.  I left VT-9 in l167, then stationed with Early Warning Squadron One, on the great island of Guam, tad from there to Chu-lai, Viet-Nam. then discharged in June l968. Just a little of my experiences while in the navy. E-Mail me so we can talk more; or when and if you have time, my contact numbers are:

Home :  434-575-5416 or Cell : 434-579-1415 be great to hear from you. It is hard to believe that there are no one else around that was stationed there; I'm sure there are; but have not signed on as of yet.
