Hilde and I will be coming to the BIG SHINDIG in Denver this year. It will be a 'good thing' to see some familiar faces from a time in history appreciated mostly, but not at the time, by the participants. MOSTLY, we all just really like German BEER!!! Nein?
Hi gang, Denver, here we come!!! For those of you coming, have a safe trip. See you all in the Hospitality Room of the Denver Tech Center Embassy Suites. Don't forget to bring the pictures, slides and memories. For those of you not coming, we're going to miss you guys! Hopefully we'll be together at the next reunion. Regards, Zito

Would like to connect with those that worked in the Oberweis area. I think that was the name. It was about five miles west of Bitburg. I was an maintenance instructor in Orlando prior to Bitburg.
I was in the 1st PB squadron from 1954 to 1955 when I was discharged. I thought it might be fun to contact some of the guys that were in the squadron with me.

Looking forward to the reunion, and seeing 'old' friends and making new ones.
I signed in before but it didn't seem to take. Planning on getting together in Denver in June and am trying to find more from our class in Denver in 58-59.
I grew up in Orlando, FL. Several of my friends had fathers in the Matador/Mace programs. I was in the Civil Air Patrol unit at Orlando AFB in the early 60's
Started out with 873rd which became the 498 TAC Missile. Denver from March 63 to Nov. 63, Orlando Jan. 64 to July 64 then Kadena to 66, Jan. 66 to Jan 67 Vandenburg.
Great to read thru the guest book. I found several of the guys from the 868 and one that was on my crew. I was a weaponeer and Hank Tracy was the A&E guy for our crew. Major Lee Schoen was our LO who later became the squadron exec when the R&R plane went down in Hong Kong. Wish I could make the Denver reunion but other matters prevail. Look forward to the next one wherever it might be.
Looking for a guy I flew control line model airplanes with at Orlando. I think his name was Paul Wilson.
Was a maintenance Mech 1
I was assigned to the maintenance hanger and helped in the periodic inspection of the missiles.
I trained and worked in the flight control section at Orlando. Assigned to flight control section at Kadena. Assigned back to Orlando, closed Orlando,then back to Kadena. I worked for Harry Mathis in the guidance shop, anyone know where Harry is? George Collbert? Would like to hear from anyone in Maintance. Great site.
