NSGA Keflavik, Iceland - 25 April 1959

Images from Troy Caffey Narratives from Troy Caffey and Marv Duncan

Please scroll down for 3 photos/narratives. Click-on each photo to enlarge.

The only information that we have about these three photos is: Supposedly these are photos from the Keflavik - Hafnir site GRD-6, wooden OPS Bldg in a lava field. And, in the above photo, "Fangue" is approximately 4 months old.    Regards, Troy Caffey

Update to the information on this webpage received from Marv Duncan on 3-15-02: These pictures are from April 25, 1959 - the day of the commissioning of the site. Witness the inspection is being held by Lt. Berthier - the first OIC. With him is Earl Stewart - at that time I think he was still a WO. Also in the pictures are chiefs Tait and Nelson (Nellie - M branch chief). I'm pretty certain of this because I was standing in the back row freezing my tail off! All of the people in the pictures are plank owners. (Including Fangue - whose name is spelled Phangue on her certificate.) Blame that one on A-brancher, first class, Ken Parotte who did the lettering for the certificates.    Regards,  Marv Duncan - CTMCS USN (Ret.)
