Subject: DAYS OF OUR LIVES # 147


MAIL-call - PRESERVING FORGOTTEN MEMORIES
This newsletter is intended only for the use of the ASA TURKEY Veteran's.
Your ASA memoirs are most welcome to the DAYS OF OUR LIVES and is an effort
on my part to preserve the stories and memories of ASA veterans who served
in Turkey. Certainly my goal is to collect and to preserve the stories --
that we honor the ASA Turkey veterans and that we educate future generations
about what it was like for us old-timers. I know that most ASA Turkey
veterans enjoy reading the BIO's of others who served in Turkey. On the
importance of the ASA Turkey BIO's - that not too many years from now people
will be able to look back and understand what the ASA was all about and why
ASA personnel served in Turkey and have a better understanding of the
experience of veterans who went through the Cold War with the Soviet Union
as the Evil Empire.
With that said - those who have not penned a BIO - stop sitting back and
waiting - write or dictate to the spouse your memoirs and personal stories
and then send them to me for inclusion in the DOOL's. This is my effort to
ensure the words of thousands of veterans and how it changed them and how it
changed the country and there should not be a shortage of stories to tell. I
will respond to all e-mails and will assist whenever needed, but reserve the
right to edit for content and clarity and welcome any errors that may appear
herein. Whether you choose to share your BIO is a personal choice. However,
information not shared is the same as information lost. Keep in mind that
the Internet is a universe unto itself and is a dang near veritable
hell-hole filled with scams, scam artists, frauds, thieves, and greedy
people, etc. In the old days, back when mail crossed the country in days,
identity theft still took place. Today, e-mail crosses the country at the
speed of light. The crooks do too. Your privacy is extremely important.
Therefore, if you wish not to receive future DAYS OF OUR LIVES, please send
that request to ercgreen@yourinter.net. - When you send an email to me -
PLEASE include the word ASA in the subject line to insure that I open it and
not mistake it for SPAM. Thank you- - -gH

wineman0@aol.com -From Phil Hotton:
I'm sorry to have to tell you that Al Cantrell (Sinop '55-'56) died late
Tuesday night, January 18 at his Calistoga California home from advanced
cancer. He waged a good fight right to the end. I was able to speak with him
until the last two weeks. Fortunately he has a large family so that his
children and grand children are near to help his wife, Libby, cope. Al
enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a teenager in the late 1940's and was a "plank
owner" on a destroyer tender part of the time in China and other ports in
the Pacific theater. He re-upped in the Army and retired from the ASA after
a tour in Vietnam. He was initially a power and vehicle mechanic of the
dozen personnel in Sinop we had eight ECM search and analysis specialists
but only one power mechanic. Needless to say if anything happened to Al, we
were down. He later cross trained in electronics. After retirement Al
qualified himself in many "trades" including Electrician, Millwright and
large scale industrial machinery installation. He is sorely missed by all
who knew him. I have attached a recent photo of Al and his wife Elizabeth
(Libby). His e-mail address is still active for those who would like to
contact Libby.

DID YOU KNOW
Noel Garland: Guys, I just found out thru one of our local ASAers here who
is reading General Tommy Franks biography, that he talks about his
experience as a Traffic Analyst trainee at Fort Devens, prior to his
decision to apply and be accepted to Field Artillery OCS. Also has another
mention later in his book about using the good offices of the ASA unit
stationed next to his unit there in Germany to bug the barracks where Franks
platoon was quartered to find out who were the drug dealers and users in his
unit.

Haven't been in touch lately but I'm still kicking and hope all of you are
well. A group of us from the 358th ASA CO have been chatting and we are
trying to track down 1SG Leonard K. Disney. The last I saw him was when I
left Turkey. Does anyone have a clue? Norm Frickey

HEART ATTACK INFORMATION - HEART TROUBLE IS STILL AMERICA'S NUMBER 1 KILLER
OF ALL HUMANS! CHEST PAIN NOT THE ONLY SIGN OF A HEART ATTACK. Heart pain
is nothing to take lightly. Yet most people having a heart attack wait more
than 2 hours before getting help. While 250K people die each year from
heart-related problems before they get to a hospital, immediate action can
prevent many of these tragedies.
MOST HEART ATTACKS COME ON SLOWLY. You
might be having a HEART ATTACK if:
1). You feel uncomfortable pressure,
squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It will last more
than a few minutes or go away and then come back.
2). You may have pain or
or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
3). You
may feel out of breath along with chest discomfort or before chest
discomfort.
4). You might have a cold sweat, feel nauseous or lightheaded.
Not all of THESE SIGNS occur in every heart attack, but IF EVEN SOME are
present it's worth it to get help. If you think you might be having a heart
attack, immediately call 911. None of us can control factors like a family
history of heart disease, our age or pre-existing heart troubles.
Suggestions: Watch what you eat by following a diet low in saturated fat,
cholesterol and salt. Read and compare the labels before you buy. Make it a
habit to eat whole grain breads, cereals, lean meats, beans, peas; use olive
or canola oils, use soft oleo, not stick type oleo, eat only 4 eggs per week
and fresh fruits. Thus, re-motivate yourself by not overindulging in foods
you know are bad for you just because it's the weekend and you are eating at
a restaurant and remember to TRY managing your weight, getting regular
medical checkups; monitoring your cholesterol and blood pressure levels, not
smoking; and exercise. NOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH BENEFITS GET
STARTED MAKING THE CHANGES THAT WILL HAVE LIFE-LONG BENEFITS. For most
people, the secret of living much longer is as simple as making minor
adjustments, such as taking a 10-minute walk at
lunchtime, listening to soft music in the evening or having a serving of
nuts instead of chips as a TV snack. These lifestyle adjustments buy you
years of healthy, vital living.
SEVEN EASY STEPS
1. Start the day right. Choose a breakfast with the highest fiber count you
can find. Studies show that every gram of soluble fiber you add to your diet
cuts your LDLs (bad cholesterol) by two points. If you eat cold cereal for
breakfast, switching to a bran cereal packed with 10 g of fiber can lower
your LDLs by 20 points. Don't forget the fresh fruit for even more healthy
fiber.
2. Make the whole-grain switch. Whole grains are filled with heart
protective vitamin E, fiber and antioxidant phytochemicals. Switching
completely from refined to whole grains could cut your heart attack risk by
30%.
3. Aim for nine. Forget five a day. Fruits and vegetables are so crucial,
you should aim for nine daily servings. It's easy if you sneak them into
every meal and snack.
4. Get good fats. Even better than going low-fat is eating good fats.
Whether in the form of nuts, olive oil or avocados, monounsaturated fats
help lower LDL "bad" cholesterol... slightly increase HDL "good"
cholesterol. and reduce triglycerides. Use olive oil for scrambling eggs,
basting meats and flavoring savory dishes. (Caution: Frying or
high-temperature cooking with canola oil transforms the oil into the bad
peroxidized compounds that cause heart disease.)
5. Brush up. People with periodontal disease, a chronic bacterial infection
of the gums, are nearly twice as likely to have a fatal heart attack as
those with healthy gums. Toxins from the bacteria can contribute to heart
disease. Brush twice a day, floss before bed and use an antibacterial
mouthwash to protect against the ill effects of plaque.
6. Shhhh. You can't change the world, but you can change your response to
it. Carve out a quiet place in your house where you can escape, collect your
thoughts, listen to some relaxing music and decompress. Spending more time
relaxed instead of stressed can cut your heart disease risk in half.
7. Move. A Harvard study of nearly 40,000 women over the age of 45 showed
that walking, even leisurely, for as little as one hour per week makes you
half as likely to have a heart attack or be hospitalized for heart disease
as those who rarely walk. Walk to the mailbox... take the stairs whenever
possible... park in the farthest parking space. Every little bit helps. In
fact, Johns Hopkins researchers found that people who snuck small bouts of
activity -- parking in the far spots, yard work and walking the dog -- every
day achieved the same improvements in fitness, blood pressure and body fat
as people who took structured aerobics classes. More good news: Studies show
that walking up two flights of stairs a day can shave off six pounds a year.
Take advantage of every little opportunity to move.
These lifestyle practices aren't so hard, are they?

L-R: George Barger and Harold Winkler, both 981's
at Det 4. This photo was posted by Harold Winkler on the Det 4 website and
I recently located George Barger on a tip from Stanley Ward. George was
shocked when I ask if he was the George Barger who served at Sinop. He
answered yes and immed-iately ask who I was. I explained and then asked if
he knew Stan Ward, Glen Austin and Harold Winkler. Yes, was his answer and
then we discussed his TOUR on the HILL for an hour or so and like so many
others PROMISED to write his ASA memoirs at Fort Devens, Det 4 and at the
327th ASA Bn at Fort Bragg, NC. George ordered 2 Det 4 patches and is
planning on attending the 2005 reunion at San Antonio in September.

It's time to update the information in my ASA Turkey 201 file! We've moved,
had a few more grandchildren and unfortunately had some recent sadness.
Sorry we haven't had a chance to attend the past two ASA Turkey reunions but
between business and my late father's health we've been busy. So here we go, this
past June - Dawn, the dog, cat, bird, and I moved to Ocala, Florida. I'm
semi retired now and have tried to slow down with my
international traveling but still find myself out of the country every
month. Now on to some other additions.... We've had two more grandchildren
giving us a grand total of eight with four boys and four girls. Our son
Chris and his wife Erin finally became parents in December 2003 with the
addition of Claudia Blair Bender and my daughter Michelle and son-in-law
Mike had her fourth child and hopefully her last when Jayna Georgia Mae
Gruber was born in August 2004. The sorrow came from the death of my father
David M. Bender Jr., of cancer on December 14th 2004. He was a WWII vet
having served in the Army Air Corps as an intercept radio operator (sounds
familiar?) listening to the Japanese pilots coming through Burma. So we
survived the four hurricanes with no damage, enjoy the warm Florida
sunshine, and hopefully will attend the next reunion!
Dear Elder: How true! I sent the BLAME AMERICA message to all of my close
friends as well, including a few Moslems! It's good to let them know the
truth about some of their brothers around the World! Hey I tried to contact
Craig Dumais as he only lives about 45 minutes away from us and I got the
same response that you did when you tried to reach him. He said he has bad
memories from Turkey and doesn't want to be bothered! Too bad for him!
Anyway I've been corresponding with Norman Frickey and it's nice to hear
from a former commander! He didn't remember me, which is good in some ways!
I did try to stay under the radar during my Army career! Anyway, say hello
to Patty for us. Best Regards, Bill

Kingston, OH 45644, 740-642-5366 gasguy80@hotmail.com - Hello fellow ASAer!
Nasiliniz - I got your reunion info from Dennis Mitzner in Chicago and will
try and make it to San Antonio in 2005- I live in southern Ohio. My info:
Terry L. Brown RA 18961528, TUSLOG Det 4 1968-69 SP4 (later SSG) 98J -
later on to Chitose and finished up with a bit of crypto work at NSA Fort
Meade working with the Brits. We have a group of ASA guys that often get
together over the 4th of July every year or two - 5 to 12 vets/families or
so. All were in Chitose and some Sinop also. You may email Dennis if you
like- he has been our "historian" of sorts over the years. Most of our
service times fall between 1963-1972. My year at Sinop was pretty neat -
didn't know the human body could maintain a BAC above 0.10 continuously for
12 months until then. Other foggy memories in brief: Watching for the mail
plane to make its "strafing" run on the hill - 5 cent Pabst bira on sale at
the club (it had turned "green" in the can and rather than throw it out...)
that put quite a strain on our plumbing system - Ashak the donkey - Mehmet
(barracks houseboy) breathing garlic-bafra smoke-absinth breath in my face
as he awaked me. Haven't ever smelled anything like it since - thinking
that drinking Yeni Raki was harmless just before going into a 12 hour
blackout/strippers at the club who after 10 pairs of panties never did get
down to the much awaited last pair (many 10 lire notes later) - the
exhillarating ride to work, in all weather, in an open cattle truck -
endless hours on "pos" awaiting events slow or never to happen across the
"pond" - I often wondered if the country band "Asleep at The Wheel" weren't
98J's? - watching the movie "Beach Party" with the reels all out of order
later to find the EM projector operator passed out in the projector booth.
I have since seen the movie in proper sequence - not nearly as good. -
really "breaking starch" with the OD's back from the Turk laundry - pants
were stiff enough to slice bread. - the boat ride up from Istanbul on the
Sea Camel complete with C-rations a la carte...... "These are just a few of
my favorite things.." hope to see you all in Texas this Fall. Email me if
you have a chance gasguy80@hotmail.com. No, not that kind of gas- I am an
R.N. Anesthestist now and pass gas for a living! Thanks for listening, may
God bless and watch over our troops, Terry L. Brown and family.

Hi Elder- Nice to hear from you- phone 740-642-5366. I also get an ASA
newsletter from Roy Getz out of Florida. They have a roster several
thousand strong and have a sizeable annual get-to-gether. Some of us might
take a trip back to Chitose in a year or two - that would be really nice! I
was there when it was decided to turn our SPACOL ops over to the Japanese
Self Defence Force and was one of a dozen chosen to stay behind and train
their staff to run the equipment (late 1970). We stayed in the then vacant
BOQ but I would have rather stayed at my place downtown! We used to have a
few beers with the Japanese EM after hours so I got the bright idea to set
up a "bar" in my room with a donation jar & local gal to serve our drinks.
The idea was only for convience and to defer expenses with a bit of
ambieance but it got a little out of hand. I spilled over into the adjacent
quarters, got an extra refrig, and the local Sapporo distributor started
making daily deliveries. The remaining MP's at the gate took several weeks
to become suspicious (slow considering the NCO club was basically empty -
they were all at my place!) and followed the truck to the BOQ. That was the
end of that piece of brilliance - I was lucky not to end up in the infantry.
I still have pictures of our group with the JNDF boss Maj. (later Gen.)
Abe - we were all inseparable for several months on and off duty and I have
many fond memories of that time. It seems that all was just yesterday and
not 40 (50 for you) years ago! I hope to make your reunion and Dennis
Mitzner has sent the info to all in our group - I will try and get the
Florida address to you and maybe Roy can put a blurb in their letter too. I
am still active in Veteran affairs as CMDR or our local VFW (Post #3331
Circleville, Ohio) and on rare occasions meet a fellow "Cold Warrior" - I
was recalled in support of the 2nd AD as a medic/anesthetist in 1991 and
spend 5 months in theatre in the Gulf War. My first taste of the "real
Army" and fortunately my last! Best wishes for the New Year, 98J gasboy

Box 118, Gallman, MS 39077, 601-892-4597, mcammack@direcpc.com - Elder,
while reading DOOL 146 earlier today, I learned that your mother, Loella,
passed away on January 6, 2005. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy and
condolences on your loss. God bless and keep you and your family, Maurice

superchief3@msn.com - My sympathy to you and your family on the passing of
your mother. I fondly remember Gene and I going with you to see her when we
visited you on our way to the Turkey reunion in 2001. I have pleasant
memories of the visit we had with you and Patty, but also the dreadful
memory of 911 that happened while we were there. I am leaving January 25
with my brother and his wife for two weeks in Rome, and will return on
February 10. I forwarded DOOL 146 today, so there won't be one before I
return. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, but you know your
mother is in a better place. Phyllis

lane (as well as getting paid). Hopefully I can send some emails about "our
old stopping grounds." Steve D (aka The Crank)

Ret - Elder, Sorry to hear about the passing of your Mother. I experienced
the same sad event in December 2003. Faye and I offer our condolences to you
and your family during this time of bereavement. May God be with you and
your family. I won't be able to attend the ASA Turkey Reunion this year due
to the Okinawa reunion being held at the same time. My thoughts will be with
you. Warmest regards

GEROW, Edward S., E5, 272, Det 66, JL62-JA64, 24 Tampa St., Nashua, NH
03060, K1hap@juno.com - Hello Elder, I thought it was about time , again,
that someone from Det 66 checked in. I am still here but not very active
with this group and I have not attended any reunions except the first one
at Devens in 2001. I am not sure why the large number of Det 66 Vets do not
sign in, however they do not sign in anywhere else on the internet, that I
have found. To catch up a little, you may recall that I married a Turkish
girl while at Ankara, That was 41 years ago and we have sort of returned to
the scene of the crime. Two years ago we purchased a retirement home at
Kusadasi, Turkey and we spend some portion of the year there. Not the mid
summer (too hot) and not the peak winter, (too cold) but in between we enjoy
time there and traveling around the Aegean Coast. I hope to go to Ankara in
the fall. I need someone to send me Ken Baldwin's Turkish name and I will
see if he is still around Kusadasi. Someone had provided it in a
correspondence a couple of years ago but I have not found it. Ken was in my
outfit when I was there and I did know him fairly well. I still read and
check out all of the newsletters and will continue to do so. I hope to make
one of the reunions in the future but probably not this year. My best to
all of those that are active here and served with us in the various Tuslog
Detachments around Turkey. Just to assure everyone that Turkey is really
the same, the last time I went to Ephesus a pair of F-16's flew over, well
in excess of the sound barrier, shaking the antiquities there with the sonic
boom, and making the visitors very nervous! Just like the old revolution
days. Regards: Ed Gerow, SP5 E5 at Det 66, Stratcom Communications (Ankara

has a enjoyable stay. Frankie and I have been in "hog heaven" during the
past week----our calf crop is hitting the ground and we have had perfect
calving weather. I met the Area Supervisor for Pizza Hut a few weeks back.
He is Turkish and was born in Izmir. He wants us to go to Turkey with him
in July. He has a home there and wants to show us his Turkey. It sounds
like a good deal to me. We have enough free air miles with American
Airlines to travel anywhere in the world. We are also looking forward to
the ASA Turkey reunion in San Antonio.

g_jorgensen@hotmail.com gH, I'm on mids and it's snowing like crazy. We've
had a Minnesota winter so far, -54 and -56 degrees just 55 miles north of
Duluth and now lots of snow. I'm hoping to get to the San Antonio reunion
this year. I should know how the vacations are by next month. As long as
I've been here I'm still not the senior guy but as it stands now I think I
can get the vacation days. Take care and as always you continue to do a
great job bringing together all the old "Turkeys". SEE the kid ATTACHMENT.

warmer where you are!! I've got a question for you. I was talking on the
phone to Bob Peetz tonight. He is an old friend who was with me in Sinop.
I believe you have talked to him, as well. Anyway, Bob tells me that while
he was there ('72 to '73) there was a young lieutenant who came from
Bemidji, MN. But he can't remember his name. I find this interesting
because my son and his family live in Bemidji where he has a woodworking
business. Of course, at the time I was in Sinop Bemidji didn't mean a thing
to me. I'd love to know who this guy was. We're going up to Bemidji in
May for our grandaughters HS graduation. I'm hoping you can run through
your rosters and perhaps pickup Bemidji as a hometown. I believe he is also
a grad of Bemidji State Univ. My daughter-in-law graduated from there as
well. Hope all is well with you...thanks for the great stories...

dearest mother "Loella" passed away recently. Our deepest sympathy in your
time of sorrow to your family. Elder, needless to say, I look forward to
your newsletters, yes OLD ASA MEMORIES continue to live on with me and
family. In your last DAYS OF OUR LIVES (#146) I recognized quite a few
names, etc! After 22 years in the Army, yes I do recall names, places and
incidents about my time spent in ASA, an outfit very good to me and my
family! How many ASA GI's would give up Pro-Pay III ($150.) to become a
Warrant Officer? Yes that was me when I accepted my WO rating! Oh well,
its water over the dam, haha! All is well in the Wacendak family. We sure
have a mess with this latest severe snow/wind storm! Our 2 sons plow and
snowblow us out, shoveling snow is no sport for me! Elder, there were
several bad incidents involving black vs white in Sinop in 1967. I know, I
was involved, however not at work, only off-duty, mainly at the club and
theater. A buddy of mine, SFC Ewing and I broke up several small fights.
Sorry to hear of Col Arena's death. I worked for him twice, once in
Frankfurt and lastly at Fort Bragg in 1969. Col Robert W. Lewis and Col
Swears were good "buddies" and go way back in ASA (1955-1969). All three
colonels are now in ASA heaven. Keep up the good work and again God Bless
you and Patty. Your ASA Friends, Winnie and AndyW

THE FOLLOWING SOP AT FORT DEVENS SHOULD BRING A SMILE TO ALL WHO WERE
ASSIGNED TO ONE OF THE STUDENT COMPANIES AT FORT DEVENS. PAY PARTICULAR

the time is greater.
3. All personnel to be assigned overseas will receive a delay en route of

may be cancelled in order to to have the man report on time at the port. EM
may sign in early if he desires. In addition a POR leave may be denied an
individual due to his own misconduct, excessive company punishment, or

your possessions at this maximum weight.

requested for by a section chief. If any individual desires to go to a
section or other official place of duty he must receive permission from the
orderly room to do so. All personnel problems will be handled through the
Executive Officer. The practice of going to any unit, section or
installation on this Post to solicit a permanent Detail is not to be
condoned and will result in disciplinary action.
