Memorable shipmates - CTAC Fritz, LT Lutes, CTA1 Fred Keck. Loved haggling for merchandise in the medina's. Came back on leave with my wife Cathy from Italy in 1979 and drove thru the country for 3 weeks. Visited my friend Larabie and family and old friend Joudar, the interpreter at the U.S. Embassey. Although the military was gone, it was good to see the beautiful country as I remembered it. 7/2/2015 1.FullName: Jonyl Adams 2.NickName: 3.ArriveDate: 1964 4.DepartDate: 1965 5.RateRating: CTRSN 6.Duty: SidiYahia 7.Email: lce.jonyl@yahoo.com 8.OnLineRoster: Yes 9.Comments: 6/28/2015 1.FullName: Andre Lepine 2.NickName: Andy 3.ArriveDate: 12/65 4.DepartDate: 12/66 5.RateRating: CTSN-CT3 6.Duty: SidiYahia 7.Email: montreal9@grandecom.net 8.OnLineRoster: Yes 9.Comments: Arrived Sidi Yahia 12/65 from DLIWC; French Linguist. good friends with Pat Quinn (R.I.P.), Ed from Philadelphia, G.R.

I was a young girl but loved it. We lived in a Hotel inKenitra for a few months, then my dad rented a villa near a sectin of Kenitra that diplomats lived. I remeber a french dipolmat lived near us and i woud play with their kids. There was a kittle corner store across the street from our villa. I remember there was a coup of some sort and a courthoyse was around the corner, we werw told to stay inside. They were executed the people involved. You could hear the firing squads. At some point my Dad was transferred to sidi yahia. We moved on base ther. He ws in charge of one of the clubs. We would go and eat pizza and pay shuffle board. There was another attempted coup on the Kings life and i remember jets flyong over thebase. My Dad retired drom the Navy there. I am wondering if anyone remebers him? He has Alzheimers now but he can sur remeber his Navy days like they were yesterday. We wold love to hear from anyone. Also charles Hankins was statkned there too. I believe he was a chief or senior chief. He has since passed away. 6/14/2012 1.FullName: Paul Settle 2.NickName: hone 3.ArriveDate: 1965 4.DepartDate: 1967 5.RateRating: CTA3 6.Duty: SidiYahia 7.Email: pws1942@tampabay.rr.com 8.OnLineRoster: Yes 9.Comments: Worked ion Terminal Bldg and Wullenweber sitewith CTAC Chisholm (later LTjg) and Kotche. Lived in Kenitra with wife and daughter who was born in the Naval Hospital on the air station. Loved it there and wanted to extend duty but SG was not granting any extentions except in extraordinary cases...guess a CTA3 is not extraordinary. 6/13/2012 1.FullName: Morton I.

While still living in Port Liotty (sp??), my car was stolen. I later got it back, after several days, but it had been stripped down. Anyway, I did get to take several U. of Maryand courses at Sidi Slimane. If anyone out there remembers me, please drop a line or two.
