In fact, your wife worked with me as the Base Librarian while I was the Personnel Services Officer. I spent the second year as the Chief of Administration, working in Colonel Grady's office. I remember you working on your genealogy background, and of course the VW bug. You were good friends with the Base Civil Engineer and his family. All my pictures are slides, which have faded over time. Tainan was a GREAT two-year assignment. Hope all is well....Robert Ward, (Captain, USAF).Bob Wardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252080048017373240.post-23941026423414617102014-02-06T20:19:39.178-10:002014-02-06T20:19:39.178-10:00I posted at wrong place, re-post here.

At least I believe that was what it was officially called, but it's a misnomer: it was actually a small 6-bed hospital with three doctors and two nurses assigned. I had the unfortunate experience of having spent a night in one of those beds and my wife was a Red Cross volunteer there one day each week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252080048017373240.post-23064844375832473772012-10-26T05:57:58.483-10:002012-10-26T05:57:58.483-10:00Photo 1
