I'm very impressed by your article. These articles unveiling the history of my campus really make me realize more about the past of my classrooms. Although some of the TAS buildings had been destructed, we students still use some old constructions as our classrooms or club houses. You really did a great work to collect numerous marterials and to put them together to show the scenes and the pictures of the old time. I do know more about the hidden past of the old buildings of my own college. Thanks a lot and wish you could have a wonderful journey in the coming 2011.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252080048017373240.post-4181843373858146182010-08-19T05:14:25.204-10:002010-08-19T05:14:25.204-10:00I was in the Director of Material office, and we w...I was in the Director of Material office, and we were right next door to the Military personnel Office (1970 - 1972). The building was a low, one story building, of the kind that was next to the barber shop. The building we were in was torn down sometime in 1972 or 1973, when they took over space for the Keelung Freeway, so I was told. On the areal view of the old station on Kent's website, it is the leveled area just to the top of the boundary line drawn. We were just maybe 30 feet or so from the barber shop. In the photo you can see the leveled area where I believe the building stood. Kent, I think I sent you a picture of my little green Datsun parked in front of the DM offices, with a view of the buildings across the parking lot. Anyhow, that's my recollection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252080048017373240.post-68812370153230589632010-08-11T16:08:00.581-10:002010-08-11T16:08:00.581-10:00Regarding the Personnel Shop at Taipei Air Station...Regarding the Personnel Shop at Taipei Air Station... I departed Taiwan in 1968 prior to the buildings shown in this Blog entry being built. <br /><br />I was assigned to the 2165th Comm Squadron and worked in the Personnel Shop which was located on the 2d Floor of the Comm Squadron Building which was just across the street from the old Club 13 (NCO Club) close to the main gate.Our CBPO was actually back at Wheeler AFB in Hawaii. Wheeler was given to the Army sometime later and is now know as Wheeler Army Air Field. <br /><br />Can someone point out the Personnel Office in the new building? I would guess their offices were in the HQ Building, which you can explore with me on a video above.

I don't recall much of anything about the base, but I'm wondering if the building that housed the Personnel shop is still there. If so, which one is it? Seems to me it was almost directly in front of the main gate, but I can't swear to that.

Back in the early 60's it reminded me of an old Chinese port that one sees in the movies, with all the mystique. Before the MacArthur freeway was built, it took quite a while to get to Keelung from Taipei in a taxi. If I'm not mistaken the negotiated fare was $1.<br />Johntitojohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439961002930293736noreply@blogger.com
