| Hello
I went to Thurso to the reunion that not many people showed up. The ones that were there really had a grand visit. It was really good to see the place again and when I went up to John Kennedy Drive I could hardly recognize the place. When we lived there it was the end of the street and the field on 2 sides is no longer a field but houses. They have changed the siding and remodeled them also. Saw some very dear friends there. Wish more people could have attended. Maybe we can meet again in the states if enough people are interested. |

| I wish I
had known about this site long long before now. I was
stationed there twice. I met my supervisor cum wife RM2 Purcell now hogan and have been happily married ever since. I am retired now and working at Intel. We hope everyone having a great time at the reunion had I known about the reunion sooner, Donna and I would have hocked the house to get there. We were both stationed there twice. Donna from April 1983 to October 1984. Myself from April 1984 to October 1985. We came back in June of 1988 and left again in June of 1991. You have no idea how our hearts were crushed to find out that there wasn't going to be a third tour. We absolutely loved the place and we will go back eventually. Names: Nolan Hill (my barraks room mate) Dan Hackbarth Dallas Mackenzie, Tina Lawrence/Gavreau, Toby Swain, Faye Drake, Laurie Lockhart, Here's a name down memory Lane Marlin from the club Aeolus and her famous Wednesday Chili day.

| Hello every
one.
Wish we could be there to see everyone this year. bad health prevents this. Do not forget J . ROBINSON who worked the antenna fields in 1963 when there was just grass and stones at the site. I have a list a mile long of names but do wish i could pass the word to others . We'll meet again ,don't know where don't know when. sfh |

| Hello to
all. As a Seabee, I was stationed at Thurso from '84-'86 in
Public Works. I worked with a great guy named Hugh Mackay and many other great people including Dan Allen, Abby Paterson, Sandy Macdonald (piped the cake in at many Seabee Balls), Alex Murray, Nonnie Campbell, the late John Jack. Enjoyed two very memorable years living on a farm in Scotscalder. In fact, my wife still writes to Mrs. Helen Black and her family who own the farm called Tongside. We fondly remember learning Scottish Dancing in the club. Our oldest child was born at Dunbar Hospital, before the maternity ward was moved to the hospital in Wick. To remember his heritage, he was given the name Graeme Scot. I played football in the pub league on the American/RAF team. In two years, I think we won once! If anybody remembers us, please drop us a line. I think the idea of a reunion is great but would be unable to attend this year. Thanks to the creators of this message board. |

Nice to see so many others who have been able to experience "Thurso". Of all the place I have been in this great world, Thurso has the greatest place in my heart! Kudos to the WebMaster for this page. I was in Thurso from 91-Close :-( , Lance Arthor and I had a house ( cottage) out in Carsgoe. Oh what time we had in "The New Market!" Listening to Howling gales play... and having a pint..or two. Im out of the Navy now, living in Michigan with my

from y'all. Hopefully I will be able to carve out the time
to update the web page--and change the music--but until then please continue to use the guestbook and spread the word. We are going to have an event of some sort and some

| Hi Everyone,
I was staioned at Thurso from 1974 to 1978 and was part of
the elite group that was stationed at thurso in 3 of its incarnations, Radio Station, Comm-unit, and Comsta. I dont think I will be able to make the reunion in July but I certainly wish I could. It would be nice to hear from any of you that care to write to me. Drew Colty |
||
| Ron Ronniger | 16/May/2000:23:01:11 | |
| It would
seem that the reunion has come to a halt. Over a year ago it
seemed like a great idea. There are some of us that have made plans and will be there. I would like to recommend that those of us that will be in Thurso during the proposed time period get together, to at least have a few sociable drinks, talk over old times, and see what develops. Towards that end I would like to recommend that we meet in the Pentland on the 17th of July at 1900. Maureen and I will be there, hopefully others will also. Ron |

| Former pupils
at Thurso High School are regularly holding reunions
(usually 40th birthday). Lots of service personnel had kids who were at the school back then. I am trying to trace 2 in particular - James Merrihew and Paul Dillon both started in 1974. Anyone knows of them or their parents - let them know we'd love to see them in 2002. Thanks and best wishes - hope you have a great reunion. |

| Jon-Scott -&- Jenny Al | 10/Feb/2000:03:01:00 | |
| Wow, what
a surprise to find this page! Jon-Scott was stationed as an
ET at NavCommStaUK from 1998 to 1991. What a blast! We were a part of the Blue Monday group - Scott played in the blues band and I (Jenny) sang in Hi Stakes. The scenery was unforgettable, the music was great, the natives were warm and generous with the lager. Who could ask for more? We lived at 19 JFK - neighbors were the Geitners (are
you out there?)
Any more members of Hi Stakes or the Blue Monday Society
out there?

| I was delighted
to find (through a friend Jean Lipa) the web page for
the 'Thurso Reunion 2000'. I didn't really have any contact with the Base although I have known many people connected to it. The Decca's , Blaniks,(excuse spelling if it's wrong) Lugo's to name but a few. What has happened to these people? I would love to contact them especially the Lugo's, Carmen and Louis, we had their son Calvin in our family (my daughter Diane was their childminder) from when he was four weeks old 'till he was eighteen months old. Best of all though I saw the name of my second cousin Diane Williams married to Ken, written in the guest book. I would love to get their e.mail address. My address is m_hammerton@talk21.com. Thurso will be buzzing when you all descend in July!!!

Also, remember Garnett Ray, Gunner, Randy, Bob Schissler, Warren Milkes, Greg Trujillo. Tommy Stewart was a good friend. Sorry for anyone I missed but time carries on.

I have really enjoyed hearing from so many old friends.
Thanks for reliving some of my greatest and fondest memories. My wife, Diane andI plan on being at the reunion and look forward to seeing you there. I was there from September 71 thru April 74. Does anyone know how to find SK1 A.B.(Andy) Andres, Terry and girls from that same time period? Regards to all! |

| Welcome aboard
all hands! I am excited about the possibilities for our
reunion--obviously the more the merrier! We've got to nail down the date however, so please go to Steve Caldwell's site (see the link to "The Sacman's Page" on this site's main page) and take his survey. I plan to pulse Steve on October 1 to see what the survey says. By the way, if anyone has any connections with USN Public Relations I think there is a story here for them and, possibly, UK MOD or even local government agencies in Scotland...? Now, if someone would just pick up that baton and run with it... Regards, J.I. Moore, Webmaster |

| I was disappointed
not to see my name on your list of civillian
employees. I worked with Moyra, Trish, June, Jim etc. from 1979 - 1984 when I married and eventually transferred to Norfolk in 1986. Another name was Anne Anderson, she was in the fiscal office as well although she has since passed away. Donald, Neal, Scott and myself are now living near Lynchburg, VA where Donald is a Systems Support Engineer and I am Director of Student Services for a private college. I have recently been home to Thurso and I spent almost a year there while Donald was in the middle east and I was surprised to see that although it is now very quiet, Thurso has not changed much. I hope to hear from any others that remember me and RM3 MacIver as he was then. |

worked in the transmitter building. Shared a room with Tony Nardone, Jack Ennis, and Moon Mullins (Where are you Moon?). Saw Nardone last spring, got E-mail from Jake Ennis, but Moon your lost. Retired from the Navy in 1986. Went back to Thurso in September 1998. Brasses Chip Shop in gone (disaster after traveling 3000 miles for a bag of chips). Took time to drive by Merkle and walk around the base at Forss (outside of the fence). The copper is gone from the Helix house (no surprise), the antennas were sawed off at the base but you can easily see where they were.The door was hanging off the helix house, but the rest of the buildings were intact. We should try to have the gates open so those at the reunion can walk around the buildings. I had forgotten how beautiful Scotland and Thurso was. Quite a nostalgic trip that brought back many memories of GREAT TIMES. Even ran into Sybil Moore, on the corner at the |

| Good to hear
from all you folks...now, would anyone from a particular
time period like to volunteer to be the point-of-contact for people stationed at Thurso during that particular period? What I mean is, if you were at the base, say from '70-'72, you would probably have a list of those you served with and could help us a lot by seeking them out via the various internet search engines. Anyone interested should contact me at my email address here in Cedar Hill, Texas (it's a suburb of Dallas). Hope the music isn't getting annoying--I set it up

| John Moore?
The name rings a bell but I can't put a face to it?
My good friend Jeannie Blunk put me onto this cite and it is so neat to see names, which trigger some memories of those good ole days (63-67 and 75-79). And, lots of fun days with Chuck Miller during my tour at NPM (71-75). Gads, this is neat! The reunion is PRI-1 in our household. My wife Marion (Mach II version) is almost excited as I am about this. We definitely plan on being there. Let me hear from you guys! Don't give me this QRL stuff or that things are QRM or QRN5! And, I won't accept a ZBM2 for your inability to email me at nawthun@juno.com or mclamp9133@aol.com Tks John, this cite is really something and I will be checking in from time to time to see who shows up and whats happening, etc. MD The Woodlands, TX (north of Houston) |

| It would
be wonderful to go back to Thurso but we were one of the later
families who enjoyed the hospitality of the locals. We were there Dec 1990-1992, I used to hear lots about Thurso from the military who I was stationed with from early 80's up to the 90's. A bunch of us now live in Norfolk, VA area and would love to go back if the opportunity would allow us. Take care and as you all say Cheers! |

| Greetings
to all fellow shipmates, land loch ed sailors, family and
friends of USNAVRADSTA / USNAVCOMU / USNAVCOMSTA Thurso from Longmont, CO, USA. Special thanks to Chris Rivers (aka. Christine Inglis) for letting me know about this web site! I was stationed at Thurso from Jan. 77 to Aug. 79, Lori was stationed there from Aug. 76 to Aug. 79. We have always wanted to return but have been unable to do so. We're going to try our best to make it to the reunion. Lori and I have been trying to remember names of people we knew while we were there, we've come up with about 50. Will post them to the message board soon. I am interested in volunteering to help contact people. I do not have access to the internet from my PC at home but can check this web site from work and at the library. If anyone would like to send a message, the best way would be through the message board. Hello Red, and Rusty! Take care all.

| Nice to see
the tribute to the civilians who took care of us at the
base. You could add Bill Luke to that list, he worked the antenna fields when I was there. Keep up the good work John. Hope to see everyone next year. Hello to all my friends and family in Thurso. |

| Glad to see
a site just for the reunion, especially since the KnowWhere
board has been infested by a pesky McFly. Brabara and I are looking forward to next year, and will be there if the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise. Cheers to all. |

| John,
Looking good - and we're both planning on attending the reunion - whenever it may be in 2000. Hope a lot more of the older group (stationed there in the late 60's) manage to make it over. Ann and Gene |

| Glad someone
is taking the iniative of arranging a reunion. I hope to be
there in July 2000. Thanks to all who are helping make this event. There is a chance that my wife and I might sail our 36' sailboat to Scotland, if it is ready at that time. |
