3-09-04  My memory of Châteauroux is a bit sketchy. I was there for only 7 or 8 months in 1957. I was installing a primitive Air Cargo picking and loading system on IBM tabulating equipment. Châteauroux was the pilot location, I then proceeded to implement the same in Athens.  I remember there was a group of Pathfinders in this organization as well.  Thanks for jogging my memory a bit :-)

1-3-08  Hi,  Just found your web site. Do you know if there is a site like this for Chaumont?? I was stationed there 1954 to 1957 with the 1239th AACS. Would love to have contact with those guys!!  Chatearoux two of my kids were born in the USAF hospital there. I later worked for RCA Service company as a tech rep for the NATO depot at Chatearoux. Have a lot of pix of Chaumont but not Chateauroux. Lived in the Chateauroux area for five years as a civilian

[jpnote:  Told Dave that my Dad had also been at Chaumont, but later than him.
