| Comments: | I had the pleasure of being in Edzell '84 - '88 as a contractor. After Edzell I ran into Chief Lucky from TEBO in Denver. I later ran into Bob Kelley, Chief Lee xxxx, and Scott Atchinson at Menwith Hill '96 - 2002. Had a great time everywhere I was stationed. My wife helped set up the menu at Roos Leap in Edzell. From Menwith it was a final tour in Colombia before retiring back to LA after 35 years on the road.
If I had it to do over again it would have been Navy all the way. I got married out of high school and didn't know my wife and I could have enlisted as a team. We are planning on visiting the UK next year in time for the snooker matches and will take the train up to Montrose for a couple days. Drop me a line. Would be great hearing from you. |

| Comments: | I was a CTO at Edzell from February 1971-February 1973.
It was a great duty site. I went from there to the USS Independence. I was involved with youth baseball and Webelos Scouts. I also directed a drama at the base chapel. I enjoyed hillwalking and bowling. The scenery was terrific. But the best part were the people. I still remember Captain Thomas. He was an awesome commanding officer. I remember walking across the base and as he passed in his car I saluted. In his typical manner he just waved back. I'd love to hear from others who were there during the same time period. I am still in contact with Mrs. Alfie Leonard who lives in Brechin. Her husband and I became friends when he worked at the base bowling alley. Cherrio for now, Duane Walter P.S. Thanks for this chance to share. |

| Comments: | Howdy All! I worked in 32 Division, Section 1 with Sam Null, Tom Kirk, Sheila Mitchell, Joe Curl, Sam & Patti Thompson, Malcolm Cook, Mary Conery, Charlie Pride, Rob Gagnon, Jennifer Blanc, Terri Durr, Sue Palmeri, and lived above the Steak House in Brechin with Frank Mitchell and Joe Boogren. I know there are many more names I should remember, but I'll blame the mental lapse on some pretty awesome mojo parties, and exposure from standing out on the runway in February at 0400 waiting for the damn doughnut truck, after completing a BFO microdial survey and trailing a 4' long paper tape tail out the door...
I retired in June of '99. I took my wife on vacation to Scotland two summers ago. Spent a week around Lock Ness, and a week in Edzell. Very bittersweet standing in my old barracks room and on a nearly deserted High Street in Brechin in the middle of a weekday. |

| Comments: | It wasn't my initial intention to have the distinction of being the last enlisted man stationed at NSGA Edzell.
In case anyone should ask, "What about HM3 Adam Caudell?" he has the distinction of being the last man attached to the Branch Medical Clinic. With the possible exception of those who might be attached to a British command on the Personnel Exchange Program, Adam and I are the last American enlisted men posted Scotland. On the morning of 30 September 1997, when the flags were hauled down for the last time, the only active duty military personnel left at RAF Edzell, were: LCDR Sharon Chandless, USN LT Sean McLaren, USN LT Thomas George, CEC, USN LT "Buzz" Hummer, CHC, USNR CWO3 Kenneth C. Jones, SC, USN HM3 Adam Caudell, USN Squadron Leader Stephen J. Bowen, RAF and last and maybe the least, myself. The last uniformed personnel on base, were the Pinkerton Security officers, who took over as we left. If anyone has been back to Edzell since, I'd love to know what has become of the base. |

If my request for a tour extension had been approved, I would have probably been a lifer. Instead I went to sea on the USS Georgetown.

Running buddys were Scott Dangerfield and Larry Lander. Met Sheila McIntosh from Montrose and got engaged just before leaving in Jan, 1970. After "B" school at Ft. Devens and 14 months on Guam went back to Scotland for wedding. Made several trips back over the years--last in 1995. Sheila and I are no longer married but I still stay in touch with the McIntosh's. Great country & people. |

i am from edzell and i am 17 years ols i have just had a look at ur web page and i think it is really good that u all still keep in touch. i think it would be brilliant if you could all come back next year. i am sure everyone in edzell would make you feel really welcome. it is strange driving past the base now without the navy people being there it has changed so much. you remember where the fench was round the housing scheme well it is down now. the pub i cant remember what is was called is not opened yet and nothing has opened in the main part of the base. i wish you all the best and i hope that we see some of you back in edzell next year |

10 years have passed so quickly, glad to see so many devote their time and spirit to a very special place. Currently I reside and work in the north in the land of the last great wilderness, otherwise known as Alaska, doing research for my Masters. Since my time in Edzell I have been on all Seven Continents and on both sides of the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. |

Edzell will always have a very special place in my heart. Left in July of 1961 to go to Karamursel Turkey. Came back in 63(?) TAD to help with a technical problem at the site. Was hoping that it would turn into a PCS but no such luck. I believe that there were less than 50 sailors on board when I transferred. Sure wish I could see it again. |

Learned to chase ditties in 33 division. Had a Marine 2nd Lt. "pin" my stripes on, never more proud of a fist shaped bruise in all my life. Enjoyed the Edinburgh Tatoo and plan to revisit Scotland in 2003 with my family. My golfing son and I plan to play a round or two at the links. Edzell was the greatest duty station in the Navy. What was the name of the pub in Montrose? Had my first beer there as an eighteen year old. |

the station and the countryside. I was a 18 year old kid that had never been overseas before. Thank god for the Morris Minor that took me all over the place there. I remember the Braemar games in 1970, Montrose, Brechin and good beer not to mention the women. I was a "ditty chaser" (CTR) but ended up doing something else while I was there. I was anxious to see more of the world and volunteered for duty that took me to Japan and then Guam. Now I travel for business but it doesn't take me back to Scotland..... |

We stayed at the Thistle Inn in Auchinblae until August, then moved into a home in the village where we lived until August, 1966 when we moved to base housing at RAF Edzell. We were the first family to live at 117 Ricketts Ct. Our son, Iain William, was born in Aberdeen 12- 29-66. Too young and stupid at the time to know any better, I now realize our tour of duty at Edzell was the best we would have during a 20 yr Naval career. I have lost track of all but a few of our friends, but will never forget you guys, wherever you are today. |

I'm planning a trip in August to visit the area where I really learned how to drink!!! Are you a turtle? What was the name of that pub? I know I was there a few times and vaguly remember writing in that book! Can't wait to see it. I was stationed in Edzell from 1981-1984, married Danny Miller in 1983,then we transfered to NSA. Danny and I split in 85. I decided to get in 1990 out and went to work for America West Airlines. Should have stayed in as I could have retired this past February! I now work for Delta Air Lines and am always travelling!!!! I've seen most of the world and have tasted beer from all over but doesnt compare to the ales in Scotland! I remember so many of the people that were there during my time in Edzell. If you were there during 81-84 I would love to hear from you. My email is "trixydurr@earthlink.net" |

I don't think any of my players made the majors, but we sure did have a lot of fun. My oldest son, Ed, was born in Scotland. A few years later he joined the Navy, eventually became a CTR, was stationed in Scotland, and his daughter was born in Scotland. It's a pity that the line will end there, no more Sullivan's stationed by Loch Wee. |
