This was THE weather base of the Air Force. It received weather from all points of the world and disseminated the information throughout all military installations worldwide. I was assigned to a standby power plant that was backing up commercial and gas turbine power.

Applied for a part time job at a local kids game room. It was an extensive process. I went to Dallas for a lie detector test, several interviews and finally hired at three dollars an hour. One would have thought I was applying for a highly skilled, sophisticated position. Oh well, I guess making change and cleaning machines has some potential for those type jobs.

Shortly after departing Carswell Elvis passed away. As a young man working at a service station in South Memphis I serviced his car(s) and visited with him briefly. However, I guess everyone from Memphis had similar experiences. My cousin Johnny Bernero (Bubba) was a studio drummer at Sam Phillips recording studio. Bubba was the drummer on a number of Elvis early music.

Headed to the retirement assignment of the Air Force ( as I had been told for years). Howard AFB, Canal Zone, Panama.
