As I said my last posting we would be interested if the trip were later such as 2010. My wife is Chinese and speaks perfect Mandarin and Sichuanese having taught it in mainland China. Lately we talked with a local couple from Taiwan plus my wife's cousing who is also from Taiwan and all say that things are drastically different from the time I lived there in the late 60's. Everyone seems to think that it is (especially Taipei) a much more fun place now and transportation is also much better although pollution is rampant in the rivers and other areas so no more swimming or fishing as we did back in the 1960's.<BR/><BR/>Good luck on your trip, John/STRATCOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252080048017373240.post-89527742852242517982008-08-08T17:00:00.000-10:002008-08-08T17:00:00.000-10:00I would like to visit - altho my wife has no inter...I would like to visit - altho my wife has no interest (she was in Taipei with me -1968-69)<BR/><BR/>I love the website and just got a scanner and have tons of Taipei and TAS pixs I will attempt to load. I saw one other "Airman" who was stationed there the same time I was - anyone else? I am still in contact with one of my buddies. <BR/><BR/>I was just telling someone the other day how I stood out under the sidewalk cover and watched General Benj Davis on his farewell tour and how I should have got his autograph!

Would like to join your group in 2009 BUT I think my wife will be finishing a college degree and with much time spent in China the past couple of years we probably couldn't make another big trip until 2010 or so. I do wish you well and hope you will stay in touch as I would like to look forward to hearing your future plans. It looks like Taiwan has changed drastically since my service there in the late 1960's!John/STRATCOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04843608308341855612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252080048017373240.post-26159456316540456292008-02-19T20:11:00.000-10:002008-02-19T20:11:00.000-10:00i would enjoy going back, i was at tas from 4/71 u...i would enjoy going back, i was at tas from 4/71 until 8/72, i ran the apo 96280 anyone remember that apo number?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252080048017373240.post-33373557733632076142008-02-19T05:00:00.000-10:002008-02-19T05:00:00.000-10:00I would like to return in 2009.

My wife is finishing her degree, and she gets to go to Taiwan this summer (as a school trip) to teach English! I would rellay like to tag along, but one of us has to stay home to take care of the teenage still home and the pets. <BR/><BR/>I do hope you get a couple of positive responses; and who knows, start reunions this year, I'm sure I'll be able to attend in a few more years!!!John W.
