Photos -1961 and Earlier

This Al Francis with one of the camp dogs, McTavish. This photo was taken in March 61 after I had finished my 1st tour to Alert. Al was my replacement. My job was in good hands!

This is Warren Whitbread with a pair of skis which the Station loaned out to would be skiers. Somehow or other, knowing Warren, I would say that he was clowning some here. Circa late 58 or early 59.

Frank Melvin and Ernie Nye posing for a Christmas picture beside a tree specially flown in and set up in the Combined Mess. Probably Christmas 1958.

Frank Melvin working in the Communications Center circa 1958. This ComCen was a Sigs van set up off the main Operations building.

In this photo probably circa 1958 are LtoR Ken Nickolson, John Blais, Warren Whitbread and George MacGillivray.

Again circa 1958, LtoR Ken Nickolson, George MacGillivray and Arnie Driver. Driver was on of the civilian operators. These guys were handy, as they took a lot of heat of the military personnel in the lower ranks. The civies did a lot of work around the base such as painting and other odd chores. They were paid overtime $$$'s so were quite happy to do it of course. Sure saved guys like myself a lot of grief!!
