Bob Barrett© 1997 robert1965@hotmail.com Looking northeast, in the photo below, starting with the Barbarshop with the Beauty Shop on the back end of it, then the Base Library to left, and then beyond it the NCO Club and the famous " Airmans Club" annex attached to the right side of it, and "Salute Alley" as the adjoining walkway was known by the officers who happened to take that path. The Airmans Club Annex was responsible for many romances, hangovers, nickel nights, $5 chitbooks, empty wallets, live rock bands, bus loads of pretty English girls, casino nights, the center of social life for many a Airman (and some NCOs and Officers, disguised as enlisted men who wanted to sneak in and join the fun) and not all necessarily in that order. Farther to left is the new Barracks, to the right is Base housing, with the flight line in the distance. I believe the Base Exchange is at the lower right. The Photos down below are miniturized to reduce load time.
Just click on them and they will enlarge.
