Comments: Looking for an old friend Ronald E. Schwartz of my father-in-law, Edward Shepard, who served with him in Kangnung, Korea in 1955. They were stationed together at Williams Bay, AFS, Wisconsin in the 755th, and were in the 606th ACW in Korea. They were crew chiefs on CPS-6B. I believe Ronald was from Toledo, Ohio. Ed passed away in February, and we found some pictures of Ronald that we would like to give him or his family.

Comments: I was with the Air Police unit, most of the time in the K-9 unit, living up on the radar site. I remember the F-86 crash and the big NNITS demonstrations during the summer of '55. How about the wicked winter of 55-56 ? My close friends were Don White,David Adair,George Pryor,Cato Hardy. I enjoyed raiding the whore houses late at night after the trucks had picked up all the airman and took them back to base at 2200 hours. my name is clyde hall, I was the tall redheaded AP in the unit. White and Pryor and I have remained in touch all these years and visit each other often.

Donald Kennedy wrote on 2006-02-16 14:47:19.0

Comments: Duane Tollerud was in the 606th from approx. April of 1952 to April of 1953. He worked in the FM vans. His pride and joy was the handlebar mustache that he started to grow the day he arrived and was still sporting it when he left. He was a full blooded Norwegian from MN and told you about it soon after you met him. Duane passed on in 1993 in Punta Gorda Florida. His daughter contacted me thru this site looking for pictures but I had a lot of my old pictures destroyed that were in a box in the garage and we had a flood in the 1980's. I would appreciate any help I can get on this, this young girl loved her dad a lot and still misses him. I know a lot of you have pictures laying around in drawers. Send me any pictures you have of guys with a handlebar mustache. I will recognize Duane and forward the pictures to his daughter. Thanks

2. eugene c. sutton ciegean@dbeach.com

Was USAF heavy ground radar unit from  Sept 50 to February 52.
Would like to contact or have anyone contact me...My outfit was 
the 606 AC&W sqdn. of the 502nd Tactical Control Group. 

The 606's final mountain top  radar sight overlooked K-14 "Kimpo"
We were Known to every pilot flying north of the 38th  parallel as 
"GreenHorn Control" and bore the responsi-
bility of knowing where a downed pilot was located and directed 
pickup when at all possible...

Many a pilot  depended on our  ability to bring them home with 
accurate  direction finding equipment and operators,B-29 pilots 
flying from island bases were especially glad to hear from us.

Have  many pictures and  even a kind of year book covering our 
complete stay in Korea from SUNDAY Sept 224, 1950  to 
February 20th 1952....Its a story in pictures prepared by one of 
the officers in the sqdn.

If I can be of any further assistance just e-mail me what you need.
