[Texas Fossil]

I lived in NM for 14 years. 1972-1986

Traveled NM and AZ regularly.

Many of my Ham friends worked at Los Alamos, White Sands, Rat Scat, Holloman AFB, Kirtland AFB, or Ft. Hoochie Coochie.

Learned to admire the great techs that lived in that world. We did a lot of interesting Ham projects during those years.

I ran a Navy MARS station out of my home for 19 years.

No techs where I live now. It miss the community.

My father-in-law was in the weapons business for 40 years. A for real old cold warrior. He was more comfortable with Admirals than POLs. Nature of the beast. He died a year ago last December. About a month before he died I took him to the plant for the last time for an appreciation luncheon. There is a story that goes with that one, another time.
