THE
HERSHEY REUNION NEWS The ASA TURKEY REUNION this
year will be 13-15 September at the Holiday Inn in Hershey, PA as
the main lodging and hospitality site.
NOTICE: - - -Det 4 (Sinop), brats and friends are now part of our
clan and are invited to attend and enjoy the festivities.
This Holiday Inn is a convention type hotel and fills up quickly.
I
have made arrangements with the Holiday Inn for 52 rooms at $79
per nite, and a hospitality room that will be available to us
13-15 Sept. Bring your slides, photo albums and photo's for
others to review therein. The Saturday breakfast will be at the
Holiday Inn at 8 a.m. Everyone is encouraged to attend this
breakfast. If you are attending the reunion and wish to stay at
the Holiday Inn make your reservations as early
as possible, preferably by 1 July.
Please bear with an old geezer like me........ I'm trying my darnest, at a distance of three hours driving time to Hershey, to insure the success of this get-together....... Therefore it is desired that those attending make their room reservations ASAP so that, if needed, some additional rooms can be reserved for us.... If you wait........ then you might have to stay at another hotel in the area and commute to the Holiday Inn where all the action will be centered in the 1st floor PENN SUITE hospitality room. You can make the reservations by calling 1-717-469-0661 and ask for Donna or Alison.
When making reservations identify yourself as a member of the "TUSLOG Det 27 and 4-4 Veteran’s Reunion" and specify what type of room you desire (single King size bed or double Queen beds) also whether you prefer smoking or non-smoking. When reserving a room you will be required to give your credit card #. If reserving by e-mail give them your phone number and they will call you to get the credit card # if U so desire. The reservations can be canceled later should that be necessary. This will insure that additional rooms can be made available to us should they be necessary. PETS ARE ALLOWED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE!
For those who desire to
reserve via the internet, send the following: TO: innfo@stayholiday.com

SORRY TO INFORM
YOU THAT MARV EISENHART DIED RECENTLY IN READING, PA., OF A
MASSIVE HEART ATTACK. WE HAD JUST REUNITED AFTER 35 YEARS. ONLY
ONE VISIT, BUT THANK GODYOU STIRRED ME INTO FINDING HIM AND THE
REUNION. AT LEAST, I DID GET TO "REMEMBER" WITH HIM
THAT ONE MORE TIME. SEE YOU IN HERSHEY.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ON SICK
CALL I called Ed Register to
find out why he had not responded as he was very enthused about
the DAYS OF OUR LIVES missives and attending the Hershey reunion
for a get together with some old "spook friends" - Stan
Winarski and Bill Schulz and to just reminiscence with others
about his TOUR OF DUTY at Manzarali. He informs that he was born
in 1929 and is 72 years young and is having a hard time getting
around and hopes to get well and attend the Hershey reunion. He
dictated his BIO for his daughter to type and send to me for the
Memory Book. Ed and Inez Register address and email is: 3509

I now have a
15mb webpage, but it will take time for me to get it operational.
When I've ironed the kinks - I will let everyone know where to
find it. Until then, keep the traffic headed my way. I sure
enjoyed the input from the Finance vet's and Captain Loudermilk-

roster for a long time, but our emails never were able to get
through for some reason. - From Ronnie Deese to Don Gee: - So
very sorry I am just getting back to you. We have been remodeling
our house and the computer has been covered with plastic. SGT
Green stopped through town about two months ago to find out why I
stopped reading all the mail. We were sked to fly out of Tampa on
September 12, 2001and you know how that went. I think several who
were driving made it but most did not. [34 VET's showed up at Ft
Devens- - -gH]. A second one is planned for this fall but I have
tonight just turned this thing back on. Get involved and you will
find many old friends. Have you heard from Brunger? I am sending
a copy of this to Elder so he can get you on one of the mailing
list. Best of luck. You know we only live a few miles apart.

Lettingwell Cir., Wesley Chapel, FL 33543, 813-994-8234, rlouder434@earthlink.net
Roy spent 30 years in the
US Army and retired in 1987 as a Colonel. He has many interesting
stories about his Tour of Duty at Manzarali with Det 66. How many
remember the Turk who got shot dead on the perimeter fence at
Site 23 by a Turk guard in 1961? He remembers a lot about Ken
Baldwin and a CPT Anthony Cataldi who was the Adjutant at Det 66.
He reports that Cataldi was in cohoots with Baldwin and that they
had brought a boat load of Dodge and Chrysler automobiles into
Istanbul and that Baldwin was the only one to be prosecuted in
Turkey by the Turks. Upon Cataldi’s return to the states
(Ft. Dix) he was given an Article 15 for his involvement with Ken
Baldwin. Roy promises to write up these events for the DAYS OF
OUR LIVES newsletter. Ken Shumate roomed with Baldwin and also
has many tales to relate about Ken Baldwin and Ken relates that
he used to babysit the Loudermilk kids.

PATTERSON,
Ken, DOB: 1943
in Evergreen, MS, (Don't look - you'll never find it on a map),
SP4, F&AO, Det 27, FE63-JN64, (Bertha), 300 Rutland Dr.,
Tupelo, MS 38804, 662-844-3925, knpatterson@hotmail.com Ken and Bertha have the
distinction of living very near the birthplace of Elvis Presley
in Tupelo, MS. After ASA - Ken got a Masters Degree in History
and worked 27 years with the VA Administration in various
capacities, but mostly with compensation, and retired therefrom
as a GS-13. He presently has 5 years of tenure as a 7th grade
History teacher at the Tupelo Middle School. Thirty days after
Ken and 17 year old Bertha were married (what kids are made of) -
he was off to Turkey as a 19 year old ASA'er after accounting AIT
at Ft. Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis, IN. Ken has many
interesting stories about his TOUR of DUTY at Manzarali and
recounted to me the rotten AF scoundrel(s) in Ankara who handled
the Tom Paine contracts, especially the AF certifying officer
(Major) who he described as looking like Hollywood had designed
him for the underhanded dealings that he handed out. Also, Ken
was well known among his Hqs Co peers as being a so-called
jailhouse lawyer for the GI's who worked in the Manzarali Motor
Pool when they were told to do things that Tom Paine's Turks were
under contract to perform. I'm sure that Ken will unscramble my
meager attempt to put into words what he briefly told me over the
phone and he promised to put the events into words and share with
us Turkey trotters in the near future. He has a Master's in
History and has an amazing memory of his younger days. My early
transmittals didn't get through and Ken said that it must of been
a temporary aberration and that here must have been a problem
with his local provider because his first logon went through 12
unsuccessful attempts to connect. He wtote: "Perhaps, the
Russians have tapped all former ASAers". Ken still hold the
secrets of thousands of IBM punch cards that he handled at
Manzarali and that he will never tell what happened to them. Oh
by the way, I forgot to tell you I became an amateur racer at age
47. I have the distinction of having raced (autocross racing) in
the NSA parking lot at Ft. Meade, on the airport runways of
Salinas, KS and through the streets of downtown Cheyenne, WY.
Competive street racing against the clock is one hairy
experience. I finished second by the way. First place was later
disallowed because the guy's car was illegal. It was so funny
when we raced at NSA. NSA in a move to soften its spook image
allowed us to use their big parking lot, but we weren't allowed
to take any photographs. I wonder why. Verrrry interesting. Will
search my "junk closet" for relevant photos and scan
them to you. I'll work up a BIO shortly. Do you have contact with
John DeSarbo of NY? He was dating one of the exotic dancers
downtown for a while. He was a stud. We had 2 female nurses when
I was there. Names escape me. Is Sgt. Clarence Shoop still
around? He worked off-duty as the "bouncer" at the NCO
club. He was known to clean the plow of those who couldn't handle
their liquor and got too loud and rowdy. Perhaps the #1 played
song on the jukebox when I was there was "Detroit City"
by Bobby Bare. Of course, with a few beers we could really sound
lonely when we sang along the line that went: "I wanna go
home, I wanna go home. Oh, how I wanna go home." I can't
remember the company commander's name but he was a Texas A&M
grad who always had the departees over for his famous frozen
strawberry daiquiris the evening before departure. We rode to the
airport in the ambulance. I was there when Kennedy was
assasinated. We had to wait for the Turks to march up to raise
their flag so we could raise ours and lower it to half mast. I
was a member of the detail that lowered the flag that day. I
would like to take some of the workload off your shoulders. Send
me a list of what needs to be done and I'll see if there is
something I can do. What's involved in making the name badges?
Maybe I could do that. I've gotten my leave approved for the
reunion time. Looking forward to receiving your newsletter and
other things.Stay in touch.--KEN We had a post photographer who
specialized in photographing the female genitalia down at the
compound and then enlarging and cropping the image so that if you
were not in on the secret you would not know what you were
looking at. He also made a few figure studies of one of the
officer's teenage daughters. Quite a man ahead of his time. Maybe
one of the others will remember his name. Stay in touch.
LATER--KEN. I [gH] asked Roy DesRuisseaux and Col.
Winarski who were good frinds with, Jon Wood, the Manzarali
photographer at that time about this and they didn't have any
first hand knowledge of this. Roy was not 100% per cent sure but
thought one of the pictures Jon had hanging in his apartment in
Georgetown was a nude. Tastefully done not vulgar at all. Stan
says that he would
not have guessed that was Jon - but the time frame looks right.
Jon came across as more professional than that but ... perhaps we
might want to leave Jon rest in peace since he can't defend
himself. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elder,Just a note to
let you know that I received the material you were kind enough to
send to me. I am working on a BIO and trying to get Katie to help
me pick out a few pictures to attach. I found my promotion orders
to SGT in 1958, while at Det 27 and have the names of others on
the set of orders. I also found information about 2 commanders we
had while I was in the Det, along with the names of our NCOIC,
and Maintenance NCOIC. This information will be included in the
BIO, or if you prefer, I can forward the names separately. Tom
Stephens, the guy I mentioned who was with me in the unit, has
been out of town but will be back next week, and maybe if I jog
his mind, he can also help me identify others who were in Ankara
with us. Again, thank you for the Memory Book and the reunion
info. When Tom gets back, we'll get together and try our darnest
to get up your way this fall Best wishes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Jim Harber,
SP5-058 Manzarali, 19MY62-27OC63, (Becky), Acworth, GA., jimharber@juno.com One of my best friends while in
Turkey was Terry W Jennette (Sp4, June 62 -Dec63, Comm Center,
Valley Station, KY). Terry and I were at Devens together, but he
got out of 058 and eventually ended up at Manzarali a month or so
after I arrived. Terry currently does not have email, but already
has a new PC and will be getting into email shortly his
retirement at the end of July. He and I have stayed in touch and
visited over the last 38 years since Turkey. We have kept in
communications about the Hershey Reunion the past few months. He
called me yesterday and said that he had just made reservations
at the Holiday Inn and he and wife Sharon will be attending...
late arrival Friday nite... I have also just located another
Manzarali roommate I had.... Joseph Patrick Greenwell, (Sp4,
Nov62-Apr64, 058) who was from Louisville, but has been residing
in Hawaii for some time. He regrets that he will not be able to
attend, but I will quote a line from him..."You may want to
share with all of your constituents the meaning of the name
"O'a hu". It means, " the gathering place".
So it may be appropriate if it were to be a gathering of the
'good old boys from Turkey'. " I am attaching an image of
Pat Greenwell. I believe the GI on right is Douglas Ort, an 059
section supervisor and Corporal at that time. Later, Jim Harber,
SP5-058 Manzarali, 19May62/27Oct63. I received your last email on
6/17, ref DOOL email status. The last DOOL I received was #71.

From: William Schulz Re: The 1954 Congress-modified
Pledge of Allegence The anarchists who oppose recitation
of the Pledge in schools seem to feel that the Constitution
bestowes the right to not be "offended." They are
apparently too dense to comprehend that the Constitution defines
this country as a democratic republic in which the will of the
majority-- within reasonable limits-- rules. Not everyone gets
his/her way… their "say," yes. But their
"way?" No way! GOD BLESS AMERICA! Period. End of sermon. Bill

From: Richard Arena E4 05K Det 27 and Det 4, JA62-MR63,
Roswell, GA., rjaims@earthlink.net After mustering out in '63 I've
returned to the Boston area numerous times, but it was not until
after 9/11 that I felt motivated to go out to Devens. Realizing
that the war on terrorism is far from over, I suppose I was
subconsciously beginning a search for some way I could put my old
cold warrior instincts could to good use. Arriving in Ayer on a
bright clear day, I found the years have been very kind to the
old place. It looks prosperous and the town center is a restored
historic area now. There were lots of visitors and the merchants
are very hospitable. Devens is quite another matter. It has been
decommissioned -- if that's the term -- and it's a mere shadow of
the way it was when last I saw it in December '63. Driving up the
old main gate road it was hard to reconcile my memories with what
I was seeing. I swung into the ASA school quadrangle. It was like
discovering the dying body of an old friend. USASATC&S is
abandoned and in a sad state of disrepair. Allen Hall, where I
spent many hours as a student and later as an 059 instructor,
gave no hint of the secrets it once held. Closing my eyes I could
almost hear echoes from the boots and cadence calls of all the
students who ever marched to school "Forty miles from Boston
Bay". Scanning the pealing paint and rusting gutters, I
recalled the faces of old buddies and imagined the ditty dah's
and clickity clack from the classrooms where I waited for my TS
back in '61. Returning to town, I found an Army surplus store
where I searched in vain for ASA patches and pins from the early
60's era. At the time I didn't know that ASA no longer exists. It
was there and then that I decided find my old outfit. All who
served with ASA know there was something special about the
organization and its people. Isn't that why we visit this site?
We were front line troops in the cold war. We made a difference.
I don't know why the Agency was dismantled. Maybe it was because
of technology advancements, or maybe it's because of service
politics. It really doesn't matter now. What matters is finding
this site and you. Yes, we are old soldiers, but I'll bet you are
like me -- your antenna is up and you're on alert. There is a
very dangerous and clever enemy among us planning to kill our
families and friends. I can't help but wonder if there isn't a
way people like us, trained "observers", can make a
difference in this war. Richard Arena SP/5 RA15638677 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: g_jorgensen@hotmail.com
Merhaba, My relay
seemed to work ok. I think you should include in the next DOOL
all the info about the reunion again. Two guys responded to me
for info and all mine is at work and I'm on vac til tues but I'm
sure there are others wanting it again. It's a small world. I
stopped into the beer store with my Det 4-4 hat and the owner
started talking to me about one of her employees from Turkey. The
next time I stopped in Kemal was working and he is from Bursa. We
talked for a while but it was so busy we didn't get too much of a
chance. He was a teacher there and made $400.00 per month and
wants to become an American citizen. One of my memories from
Bursa was getting a haircut, and a shave with a straight razor.
Maybe that's why I have an aversion to shaving. I remember
sitting very still and when I was done I told myself, been there
done that and never again.

From:
Chuck
Bergmann Hi
Elder 6/12/2002 The e-mail service that you and I and most people
have is a limited e-mail service. There are e-mail service
providers out there that handle what is called bulk mailing. That
service cost more and is only used by large companies doing
advertising by e-mail. The providers that you and I have can only
really handle about 25 e-mail address in a group. I have found
that it is more like about 10. This is also governed by the size
of the e-mail you are sending. E-mail with lots of attachments
will have a problem with 25 address were as if there is no
attachment you can safely do 25. We have an e-mail list here of
about 125 and at times found the same problem you are having. The
only way we have been able to fix that is to use smaller numbers
on the groups. We now use about 20 names on a group with no
attachments and have not had a problem since then. We have been
told that the anti-virus you use may be causing a problem also. I
have found that not to be true from my experience. Also if you
are using outlook express and the software to send your e-mail
and you are not using outlook express version 6.0 I would
recommend you upgrade to that. You can do that over the internet
for free. I have seen this problem more frequently in outlook
express with versions lower than 6.0. The newer Version of
outlook express seems to handle the larger mailings better. Not
perfect though. At this point I know you don't want to hear about
it but you might have to look at hosting a web site and post the
stuff on the web site. I know you probably don't want to do that
and it will cost some money to do. So the only other answer I
have for you is to break it down into small groups. I can forward
about 10 groups of about 20 names for you if you would like. That
would be easy to do. Just give me all the names and you want and
I'll break them down into small groups. You can give them to me
as a word document or in the body of the e-mail. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GIsearch.com is completely free and it's a great way to keep in
touch or reconnect with lost friends. Go to: Elder, I've sent 3 messages to
ASA Turkey vets that I found on different search engines. I
checked on the latest list and didn't see their names so they may
be good hits. Jerry Eby (Det4); Mike Cover (Det 27); and David
Vandiver (Det 27). I told them to contact me if they wanted to
"jump in" and I will turn them over to you when/if they
email me. Just a heads up

STEPHENS, SR Good
Afternoon, Fellow "ASA'ers": In order to help out with
the distribution effort, Elder Green has asked that we help him
out by agreeing to fwd the Days Of Our Lives (DOOL) missives, to
ten (10) of our former comrades. He provided each of us with a
pick list of 10 names. That's how I put together the
(re)distribution list for this e-mail. Hope you enjoy reading
these as much as I do. It's kind of nice to put aside the daily
cares and think back to a time when were all so very young and
the world was so grand and glorious. My memory is no doubt rose
tinted, but I felt we could do about anything back in those days.
Hope the 40 year flashback is enjoyable for you, as we all reach
back in time to rekindle something that seemed beyond retrieving
from the vaults of time, from so very long ago. Hope all goes
well with each of you at present! SP/4 Howard "Steve"
Stephens, Det 27 12/60 through 09/62

From: Dave Waldmann Subject: AZ ASA Reunion Reminder We are about 2 months out from our 4th AZ
ASA reunion. If you haven't made your reservations, please do so
ASAP. The Hon-Dah is expected to be really busy about that time
and we need to get in early to be sure we save our block of
set-aside rooms and you get the room of your choice. The toll
free number of the Hon-Dah is 800 929-8744. Ask for extension
7620 if calling Mon-Fri between 8AM and 4PM or extension 7592 if
calling Sat-Sun between 8AM and 1PM and identify yourself as a

plenty to eat. Don't believe the rumors that Arizona is going to
burn up before then...the rain is going to start any day now. The
Hon-Dah is a super resort and that part of Arizona is truly
beautiful...that's why some of them up there call it "God's
Country". Looking forward to seeing you., Dave Waldmann CW3
