Service Saturday (a day late due to Mother’s Day festivities yesterday) is my Dad’s welcome guide he received when originally stationed at Lockbourne Air Force Base in Columbus Ohio. Daddy was a mechanic on the Voodoo F101B planes. It is mentioned in the selection of pages I scanned from the manual. Also included are various hobby meetings, family life matters and the legend/lore of the AFB. I also included the advertisement for construction of a house. It is interesting to see how they acclimated the airmen to the base-life and military career.
Did you serve at this location during the 1960-61 years? If so, I would love to hear your stories about life on the base at that time. Who knows, you might have passed my Dad on the sidewalk without even realizing it.
I hope you enjoy.
We moved to Groveport OH (i.e. Lockbourne AFB) in 1957 from Barksdale AFB. Dad was a navigator, Major Richard H. Parker on the B-47. I vaguely remember those days because I was 4-5 years old
