Welcome to my Anniversary Site!

Can you believe it has been 25 years since the bulk of us arrived at Edward Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert.  A large contingent arrived around the late summer of 1984, I personally arrived Labor Day Weekend so it is exactly 25 years ago this past Labor Day.  I can't say how much fun I had working with the crew over the many years at Edwards and in Palmdale, as much fun as I have had at any job.  And, it was not just the work or working at Edwards but the people that I worked with and the many things we did both at the office and off hours.  The trips to Mexico, parties at the Dole Avenue house, the softball teams, Schooners Bar after the games, getting together for Happy Hour at the various 'hot' spots in Lancaster.  But, like anything in life, everything is finite, everything has a beginning and an end, we have all chosen various paths and the intersection that brought us all together has diverged to many paths. 

My goal in putting this together is to share my experiences, my photos, and to propose a reunion of the old B52 gang

I also hope to get pictures, stories, names, contact information or anything else you want to share on this so please send me anything you want to include.  I hope we can make this a living site that we can visit, bring family and friends in and share with them, the great time, the great experience, the fantastic folks that worked together for many years in the Mojave.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed putting it together. 

I WILL BE UPDATING THIS SITE QUITE OFTEN SO CHECK BACK REGULARLY!

With the help of Debi Floyd, we are moving forward with the reunion!  Yes, we are going to get together for the 25th anniversary of our arrival in the desert, albeit one year late.  Please send me an email advising if you will attend.  It will be held in Lancaster-Palmdale:

Saturday, August 28th to Sunday, August 29th

The core event is a dinner on Saturday night and maybe a breakfast at Crazy Otto's on Sunday morning.  We hope to add other activities from Friday through Sunday.  Please check back here for more details.  Email me your ideas of other things we could do.  Some ideas are renting a bus and taking a tour of the area, Edwards Visit, (if we can swing this), minor league baseball game, drinks at some of the old haunts!

Where Are They Today

Please scan and email me pictures from our tenure in the desert.  SUGGESTION:  Send the pictures in an uncompress format, (tiff).  These are large but I can do more with the photo. 

Note:  The pictures I posted on the initial publish of this site are low resolution, (72 dpi), for this website, I intend to scan at a higher resolution and making them along with many others right here, stay tuned, come back and visit often.
