Message-ID: <DE8607ACF999481582EC37107743726A@SMOKY2>

Greetings, Pete and Gang!
My wife and I are planning a couple of days trip to the San Francisco-Oakland 
area in late December (29-31).
Since my wife hasn't ever been there and I haven't been there for some years, I 
wonder if any of the group can
give us some ideas of how to get around, places to see, etc. besides the 
obvious. (I do want to visit TI if possible)
Any advice will be great ly appreciated; if any of you will be there I'd like to 
see some of the old gang!
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Ron, K5CXH  (e-mail: rrcarman at centurytel.net )

Pete?s the only one I know of who is still in the area.  I wasn?t Navy, but I live out here now. I?d be happy to show you around the island and point out what?s going on out here.  Lots of the buildings are gone now. but I can point our where most of them were.

Also happy to give you tips for the city.

Hi, Desmond - I hoped to hear back from you also, since I have seen some of your 
posts on the K6NCG website.
I discovered the original shack back in July 1964 when I was on TI for the 
weekend just passing through, but it
became my Navy home, so to speak, and some of my best Navy buddies are fellow 
hams I met there.
Anyway, we plan to come to the Bay area Dec. 29 and stay just a couple of days - 
I am familiar with San Francisco
but my wife has never been there and it's been some years since I visited there.
My wife made reservations on Southwest Airlines to fly into Oakland, since it 
costs a little less than going into
San Francisco, and we have reservations at a hotel not far from Oakland airport, 
which is where I had my private
pilot check ride back in May of 1966 - wow was it that long ago?  I definitely 
want to show her around TI and
compare it now with how I remember it half a century ago!  Of course we want to 
see San Fran and make like
tourists, see the sights, eat at Fisherman's Wharf, etc.  Any recommendations 
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me - I hope to receive word from 
Pete also!
Thanks again!
Ron, K5CXH

Great!

My number is 415 547 0044.  Anyone from the club looking to visit is
welcome to call me.  I may not recognize your numbers, so please just leave
a message if I don't answer and I'll call back.  Even better if you send me
a text.

Quite a bit more has changed in the last year.  The Acey-Ducey is gone. The
Nimitz center is behind a fence. Casa De La Vista is gone. The Eagle's Nest
and pretty much everything on the North and West side of Yerba Buena is
gone, including most of the trees.

The Chapel is still here. There was a push to save it which was
successful.  Buildings 1, 2, and 3 are still here.  The Yacht Club is in a
corner of Building 2.  Depending on the schedule, I might be able to get us
into Building 1 and the Cupola if there are any city staffers on duty when
you're here.

Desmond, KC6VHG

I was on TI for 9 months.  I attended ETA school.  Have a lot of great memories.  I would love to come back and see TI and San Francisco.  My wife isn?t able to travel well and especially walk the hills of San Francisco.  Perhaps one day we will make the trip (Uber a lot).  Desmond thanks for keeping K6NCG alive and your offer.  I will keep your number in my contacts.
