Readers Respond: Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska

DAN DAVIS

WAS STATIONED THERE 1970-1974. WAS A CREW-CHIEF MY LAST YEAR ON KC-135 TANKERS. EXPIERIENCE MY FIRST REALLY HARSH WINTER AND DON`T MISS IT AT ALL. MET MY WIFE IN BELVIEW AND OUR FIRST BORN WAS BORN IN THE BASE HOSPITAL. HATED MY TIME WHILE I WAS THERE, BUT MISS IT NOW AND REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD WITH THE PEOPLE WE WORKED WITH. WORK WAS HARD AND THE WEATHER WAS THE PITS, BUT TO THIS DAY WHEN I SEE A TANKER FLY OVER I JUST SMILE AND WONDER WHY I GOT OUT. OH YEA, NOW I REMEMBER- WE WON`T GO THERE. BY THE WAY I LIVE IN MILLERSPORT, OHIO, 30 MILES EAST OF COLUMBUS AND MY WIFE AND I JUST CELEBRATED OUR 39TH. THANKS FOR LETTING ME RESPOND
