Just surfed in to this picture. It was taken from a room across the hall from my room. I worked in the dispenasry 1962-63. One of two medics. A blue ambulance was the ride. I attended a patient in the back of the ambulance. The patient did a lot better than me, all th eway down the coast to Hamilton. This picture is just the way I remember it.

During 1961-'62, my father, Mstr Sgt Walter J. Hlebica, was stationed here, with his family, including myself. Dad worked in the orderly room, and sometimes brought me with him to work from the dependent's housing tract nearby. I remember practicing my typing on one of the orderly room machines, and catching breakfast in the mess hall. On one occasion dependent's were given a guided tour of the radar facility, including the inside of the blockhouse under the dome. Amazing! The station also featured a swimming pool - my first - and a gymnasium/rec facility where we saw movies and held Halloween costume parties. The NCO club was fun too, and a combo consisting of airmen sometimes performed there.
I passed by these for many years when I lived in the Bay Area. Yes, us66bill, there were a lot more in the '60s. They seemed to be lined up for miles (though I'm sure they weren't) and were closer to the shore. When I was a kid I would fantasize about sneaking out and exploring them. You're right, there has been no upkeep for many years.

Excellent photo!!! LIKE - Greetings from Athens.
I worked in this building in the middle 70's. It looked better then.
Very beautiful composition and nice colors LIKE
In fact it was a Federal Prison Camp. No fences, just a camp. This is still Federal Property and you could be charged with tresspassing.

I walked in there one time ...ALONE...and a white barn owl flew out of the metal rafters and scared the SHIT out of me !

Great Shot!
