CLEMENT, Claude - French Employee at La Martinerie 7373rd Aircraft Refueling (POL) Paris, France  11-21-07 I am Claude Clément , a French citizen who has worked from 1955 to 1958 as a clerk at the POL in Déols and La Martinerie. I frequently read your very interesting blog and i still hope one day to find somebody I worked with during this above mentioned period. I now live in Paris. 4-20-08 Great work that you have done there, Jenelle. It was worth waiting for this new site. I guess it took a lot of efforts and time to have it updated but it is now outstanding. Congratulations and many thanks. Re photo to the left: I forgot the name of the guy. All I remember is that he was from Cuba, a refugee, sort of and I remember often talking with him of [sic] (Cuba) ....But you know how memories are strange and maybe one day, just like that, I will recall his name. . . . [and he did - see below:]

[jpnote: Sam Herrera replied to J.D. and sent photos.] 5-4-09 Sam Herrera responding to JD Eskelson son of David Eskelson of Vernal Utah. I will forward JD's message to two other guys I know that knew David also, we were all stationed at Chateauroux together. I was stationed with David and worked with him until he departed. I remember him as kind of tall and lanky, blondish hair. I remember him as kind of funny and played some tricks on other guys. Would like to communicate if you wish. I also still have a photo of him. It was taken at Deols when we worked there. Will wait to hear from you some time soon.See David Eskelson Photo Album
GILMAN, Gordon  3130th Aircraft Refueling (POL) @ Chad March 1958- Dec 60 Santa Barbara, CA 2-6-07 I worked in refueling with Marv Leman. I arrived in March 1958 and left for discharge in December 1960. Doris (my wife) attended High School there in 1957 and 1958. Doris' dad was civilian working for the Air Force. We met there (even though we only lived 60 miles apart in California) and corresponded after Doris left in 1958 until I returned in Dec 1960. We were married in July of 1961 and are still happy 46 years later. (Chas Marriages) .

Searching: Julio Garcia from Los Angeles, he was my best man. In addition any of my tent buddies in Row 10, in Tent City. Last known residence was L.A. Calif. I have been back to La Martinerie when visiting my in-laws in Argenton s/Creuse. Sure was nice to bring back memories of Tent City.
O'NEILL, Thomas
7-24-10 Guestbook entry: I seved with
Sgt Greer back in 1958 in the Supply Squadron. It was because of him that I
had a very successful career in the military. I served with him back at
Plattsburgh AFB later in my career. Because of him, I ended up graduating from
High School, College and getting a Master Degree. I started off as an Airman
Basic and ended up as a Member of the Federal Governments Senior Executive
Service equal to a three star Flag Officer. My last assignment was The Special
Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy. All this because of Chief Greer. He is
a wonderful person and so is his wife. I was so sorry to hear she had
Alshiemer. Does any know if Chief Greer is still alive? (see note below).
Chief Master Sgt Greer who lived in a small town in Georgia.

I was in the
Supply Sqdn. (aircraft refueling) from March 58 to March 60. My 2 yrs at Chas was one of the highlights of my life. Also was a member of the Chas Aero Club and was
granted the privilege of managing it during the summer of 59. I gave
many of my buddies a ride in the aircraft we had. I have many slides
of Chas and maybe someday I'll convert some of them into photos and send
them to you to put on the web.
