I'm searching for folks who were at Lackland AFB April 1951-August 1951. I took my basic training with the 3743 WAF Training Squadron, 3700 WAF Tng. Group -- don't ask me what flight! I remember a Jody Little from California our Flight Instructor was 'Tex.'
Next, to Steno School at Oklahoma A and M, Stillwater, OK - August 1951 through February 1952. I remember Julia Holik, Brownie from Massachusetts and our CO was Lt. England. There were also folks taking training re weather.
Next, Selfridge AFB, Michigan for a couple months. I remember Nancy Tritt from PA.
Last, Hq 30th Air Div., Belleville, Michigan from april 1952 through November 1952. I rememeber Dixie, GeeGee Clark, Breatha, Evelyn Ankeny from California, Brenda.
Anyone out there I know?

day of June, 1951 for Sampson A.F.B.,Geneva

know where he was assigned from Sampson.
I was at Tinker A.F.B. and met another

his name. He informed me that Smith had died
in a crash while in flight training.
I found one of my old friends name, Robert
Raborn that i went to school with in the early
