Does anyone remember Harold Wayne
Werner? He was my father and passed away 12 Feb 2009. I am
just looking for any stories to add to my remembrance book that I am making for
my mother Mary Werner. I attended the reunion at Colorado Springs as a Chitose Brat…I
was the female Lt Col Terry Chase, USAF, now retired. Any information
would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Terry L. Werner Chase, Colonel,

Dwight "Ike" Lutz Chitose 67/68
My father was
stationed as part of an Intel unit; he worked with reel to reels tracking top
secret satellites I believe, which should be unclassified now. I am looking for
old pictures of him and friends of his that may still be alive. I am Dwight’s
son born in Japan 08/22/1967. My mother Katie and my father lived on base and I
can remember some stories of the Sapporo Ice Festivals and of the large amount
of snow on base during the winter. I myself am a proud veteran of the 3/325ABTC
and was stationed in Vicenza Italy and served in North Iraq the First time
trying to help the Kurds. I do know my father had a Top Secret clearance
which made it difficult to get my Secret clearance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a picture in this new photo page showing a Lee Dunn who lived in the
same barracks as me at Devens and we traveled by train across country in
March of 58. We sailed to Japan on the Frederick Funstion, spent a week in
Tokyo and at Chitose in early April 58. I was assigned to trick 2 and Lee
was assigned another trick. Lee was from Alabama. Does anyone know
anything about him? Dick Taaffe (dtaf@zoominternet.net)-

I recently sent in some notes and recollections of my time in Chitose in
the early 1960's. I would like to hear any information anyone may have on some
of the guys I have lost contact with since leaving a generation (or Two)
ago.
Gene Perry, was a Trick 1 059 E-5 in 1962
in Chitose, Re-enlisted for Germany.
SFC Tom Brennan Trick 1 NCOIC in 1961. Heard a
rumor he had passed away, would like to confirm or re-establish contact. Any
details would be appreciated.
Dennis Hawthorne, 059 Trick 1 One-Termer, Left
after I did in 1963. Had the ability to pass gas on-call. Would like to
know if that is still part of his life?
Bill Manette, Bill was a Delta Section Russian
Speaker. He was on Trick 1 and from California and Mormon. Elijah Poinsette
told me at one of the reunions that as a boy, Bill had delivered newspapers
to his home in the days before Chitose (for any of us). We have no info
about him after Chitose. BTW I am not sure of the spelling of his last name, but
I am close.
Ron Callahan, 059 Trick 1 from Michigan
left in 1961.
S/Sgt Russell Jahn. Russ was a lifer. He did
the food inspections for the Commissary and Mess Halls and ran the Pet-Care
Clinic for small animals on Post. He had his wife and kids with him and lived in
the dependents housing on Chit-3. He was also an active Mormon. He was still
there when I left in 1963.
And finally,
Robert Kelley, 059 Trick 1, Robert came
to us after a tour in Sinop Turkey. he took my place in Room 7 of Echo
Section. Any info would be appreciated.
Charlie Wilson:
The last I knew of Charlie, he was working for a large finance
company in Dallas (collecting money). His wife's name was Carol and he had
recently married (approximately 1982). I'm not sure who told me this, but he may
have moved to Oklahoma and subsequently passed away in the early
90's????
Charlie was an 059 on Trick 2 and a perennial private. Usually in
trouble for something but a good friend and a good guy. He used to call me every
New Years eve and I saw him in Dallas a couple of times in the 80's
I'd just like to know what happened to him and hope and pray he's
still around. Here is a photo of him from Chitose.

Thom Roose Sr
Received the following from Thomas Roose Jr. Thom Sr
worked in NM Chitose 63/65. I'm hoping someone in your organization may be able
to help me. My father, Thomas A. Roose, recently passed away and I'm looking for
background information on his service in Japan and perhaps elsewhere. I know he
was stationed at Chitose from May 63 to Mar 65 as a Sp4 Teletype Translator, but
that is all I know. If there is anyone who knew him or could verify his service
there or elsewhere in SE Asia, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your
time and assistance. Thom is up on e-mail at thomroose@yahoo.com or can be reached on 513-708-1726.
I would like to find out if anyone
knows where Dick Smith currently resides. The last I knew he was working for
American Airlines in Dallas, TX.
I just returned from Dallas and the
personnel there indicated that Dick had retired and, of course, no one knows
where he went.
Dick was originally from the Detroit
area.
If anyone knows his whereabouts,
please e-mail me at jkempf4256@aol.com
Thanks
I am looking for a lost buddy. R.C. Graham Jr. (Robert
Clinton Graham Jr.). Chitose 1960-66 I believe. His military records
were listed as R. C. He was a Teletype Repairman in the Operations
Building. I believe he was from Gastonia or Charlott, North
Carolina. He lived off post with his wife and three
children.
Thanks,
My father was stationed in Hokkaido, as part of the Army
of Occupation, in 1948. He was assigned to the 31st Infantry (Polar
Bear)Regiment of the 7th Infantry Division. We were billeted in Chitose
for a while, until we got quarters in Camp Crawford (10 mi West of
Sapporo).
The 7th Infantry (Hourglass Division) was called to Korea in
1950, and the dependendents stayed behind in Camp Crawford, until the Army
could no longer guarantee our safety. We left Japan for the US in 1951 and
awaited my father's return in 1952. I'd be happy to know if anyone has any
information about Chitose Air Base on or about 1948 and/or Camp Crawford
from 1948-1951.

I am looking for someone who may have been friends with a Jack
(JT?) Keller Chitose 60-63. His son Jason would like to contact some of
his old friends to find out more of his dad's days at Chitose. He recalls
his father having been friends with a big Texan and a Jewish fellow. He
also had a quote from Tolstoy in his locker.

Does
anyone recognise Jim
Griffin?
Jim recently passed away and his childhood sweetheart and family are
looking for photographs and memories of his time in Chitose. Received the
following email:
I hope you might know of Jim he was in the 12th when first
sent to the Army in Chitose Japan in January 15, 1963-65. He was moved to a new
bldg. on Chit III in July of 1963 where he said he had plenty of working
room and 3 bays to work in. He said since he was a Pfc. and a 766 he would be
the "head Honcho, boss" there with a new guy to help him do the work. He joined
in October 15, 1962, and did his basic training at Ft. Gordon Ga. and was sent
to Japan without leave. He talked about knowing a Mike Maxwell, Ron Abbott and a
Keith Baggie. He was to try out for the Post basketball team, or Headquarters
team which the coach was sure he would make but also talked about the 11opns and
12opns teams. I know that he played basketball against the Japanese if that
helps. We grew up together and I was his first love at the old age of 14 and he
was 17, but we knew each other from elementary through High School where he gave
up a promising basketball scholarship in his Senior year and joined the Army
after a fight with his abusive father. I am trying to find pictures of any kind
of him for his family and especially would love a picture of him on the
basketball team in 1963-64-65.
