It will include a trip to Panmunjom, the Camps that I was stationed at on my 4 tours to Korea, and some other sites. A trip to the old Camp St Barbara and Camp Kaiser area are on the top of my list, along with a visit to Chorwon. I know there are none of the old clubs operational still, but I am sure I can find a Makgeolli House to relive the old days. May even stop off in TDC to see what has changed :) I will have a camera with me, with at least 1 extra memory cards.

C 17TH FA Bn. at St. Barbara back in 1955-56. We were not with the rest of the Bn. but was stationed close to the entrance to the Recreation area and also close to the Radio Station "Gypsy". Their personell ate chow at our unit. The Village did not exist at that time. The Hanging rock, we called her old Indian Head, was just behind our unit as I climed it several times and took pictures. Looking at Google Earth I cannot find a trace of the Catholic Chapel I helped enlarge. I still have movies of the dedication. Also seems our unit area was demolished and leveled. Still have many memories of the old camp and Bruce thanks for all the pictures posted. Keep up the good work. Was with Bat. C 17TH FA Bn. at St. Barbara back in 1955-56.

I was a radio repairman in Heq I corp. Looking at these pictures I can pick out my hut and my radio shack. I worked next to the wireman/pole climers. We had KATUSAs that lived along with us in the same huts. You did'nt want to get them mad. We had house boys that fixed our bunks and took care of our laundry. But my house boy took of with camera, never saw hi again. I can remember some of the guys I servied with, to mention a few, Sidney Issac from the Vergin Islands, Martizes from Chicago,Allen from Huston and Collins who were my radio operator and wireman. Our E7 was Sargent Jessup and we had a Lt Patrick who left shortly after I got there. I have alot of pic I will scan and send to this site. I spent alot of time at the NCO club and have alot of pic from there. thanks Bruce for this site I was at camp St. barbra from april 61,to july 62. I was a radio repairman in Heq I corp.

Oh how the country has changed. A friend of mine here in Las Vegas is a Korean that ran the US motor pool at Yongsan for many, many years. He and his wife immigrated (legally!) to the US many years ago and their son is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy. He and I were sharing some scotch the other night while talking about what Korea used to be like. I love looking at old pictures of US camps in Korea. Oh how the country has changed.
