Comments:	Never stationed here but NST served us extremely well during 3.5 Med cruises I took between 1969-72 aboard 2 very old AOs (tankers). Our radio gang could always depend on NST for comm support, especially CW, when normal comms were effected by WX, etc. HALLELUJAH!!! Allen Pegg Former RM2 USS Kaskaskia AO-27 USS Pawcatuck AO(J)-108

Comments:	I am writing you trying to learn more information about my father! He was stationed in Derry in the early 70’s! His name is Richard Phillips! He met my mom while stationed there, and returned in the 78ish as I was born in Derry in 1979! I found this site this weekend while at my moms house and she recognized several names of sailors from the list! I know very little about his services in the Navy as he fell sick in 1991, and passed away in 1997! I followed in his footsteps in a way, and currently have been on active duty with the Army for 19 years! I guess as I get older, I’m just trying to teach my kids more about their grandfather! Thank you for any help! Please email me back at this email, or feel free to call me at (760) 401-6965!

Comments:	I just finished reading "Say Nothing" buy Patrick Radden Keefe. It is the most comprehensive book I have ever read on The Troubles. I highly commend it. For me, it tied up all kinds of loose ends and questions I had about the conflict. I reads like a crime thriller and its depth of reporting is breathtaking.

I saw a typical red/wh/blue US gov't sign marking the property when i was there in 1973. trying to find location of farm on google earth and knowing where the antennas were would help.

Comments:	Back with another viewing suggestion if you have Netflix. Search for Derry Girls. It is set in Derry circa 1990 (when the British Army was still there) but it is not really about the Troubles but rather about four girls in a Catholic high school who get themselves in more trouble than the Three Stooges or the Keystone Cops. Uproariously funny and lots of local, familiar street scenes. Enjoy!

Comments:	I apologize if this has been reported already on the blog. if not, I direct your attention to the BBC production “My Mother and Other Strangers.” It is available on Amazon Prime. It is the story of a fictional town in Northern Ireland in 1943 where the U.S Army Air corps had a base (too bad it’s not Navy). I’ve just watched one episode but can say the plot is something all of us can relate to, especially those of you who courted local girls. One tip: turn up the volume on your TV. Our aural skills have gotten a bit rusty after a long absence, but soon enough you will understand the locals pretty well. All the best, Bob Martin, YN2, ‘71-72.

Comments:	Page two: To Jos' family: God bless you and help you throughout This time. Pls keep in mind that our Irish people "celebrate" the person for his life on earth. Everything is of a positive nature on his final days.We must be proud of Len Joslyn for all the good things that happened to him, with him and around him, his friends and his family. To his shipmates and co-workers: We've lost one of our good ones here lads, for sure. He just had some unique ways of handling the jobs, the men and the morale. On the job or off he was of the best I ever knew. God Bless you my Brother.

Comments:	"Jos" was more than my friend, we are brothers. He called me up in April said either you come see me or I go see you. I knew he couldn't get around well so I went and styed for a week. Oh my God did we talk some heavy stuff. Your ears may have been itching.His wife Annette so nice and she cooked 3 full meals a day. I almost didn't get my pants on when I left. We went back to '66 together. The first home I ever stepped into a home in Derry was at his eventual in'laws when he went to see Helen. In the 70's we alternated weeks taking our kids to school at Long Tower boys and Naserath house forthe girls. We once went to my house after work to eat tacos. I ate 21 he ate 20 not counting the brews to wash'em down. Bridget said we were both crazy. And on and on. Yes there are two or three men in this world who are my brothers, Len is in that mix. Love you my man, see you there. Rick

Comments:	Replying to Kathleen daughter of Denis McDonald,Security guard and mountaineer for the U.S. Navy transmitter site in Dungiven, N.I. upon his passing. A great wee man amd inspiration to us young sailors especially when we got snowed in for 3 to 5 day before there was even a road up "the mountain", our comms antenna blown down, we were on our own until that familiar banging on the control walls, "are you alright lads? It was Denis!! We needed hot food from the Corner Bar at the bottom of the mountain and especially one Xmas Eve, my section was on, two cases of the good stuff pls. Denis never said no. So sorry to here of his passing. He was respected and loved by all on this hill, for sure.

Comments:	Hi all, My name is Carl Campbell – my father Carl Campbell Snr worked in the Chiefs’ club right up until close in 1977.Just to let you know that my brother Liam Campbell has a stage play entitled ‘The Bog Couple’ coming up next week at Derry Playhouse from Tuesday Feb 13 until Sunday Feb18th. It is loosely based on the Neil Simon play which also gave us the wonderful movie starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Mattau. The reason I am posting this is to let you all know that as part of the comedy there are references to ‘The Base’ in the script. Liam’s play is set in Derry in 1976 – which of course marked the Bi-Centennial year for the U.S. As part of the week’s events to mark the play there is also a photo exhibition of the Navy Base. If you have any photographs you feel happy to send to me please do so. I thought you might like to hear about it; and those who live nearby might like the opportunity to call in and view it and perhaps attend the play. If anyone would like more information

Previously, membership was limited to active duty personnel, retired personnel, and those who joined as an active duty member and retained their membership. I'm probably like a lot of you, I dropped my membership several years after ETS in 1973, and have regretted that ever since. I rejoined yesterday. Go to the NFCU web site for more info.

You can use both, but there are a huge number who do not want to go through everyones personal notes unrelated to the sites original catagories to find pertinent information. Start updating this site and please everyone. It is not outdated as you seem to think, and I believe a great many members will agree.

Comments:	I was born to Larry R Lammes and Patricia Lammes in Londonderry, N.I. June 13, 1970. My father Larry was an electronics technician (not sure what his rank was at the time) serving at NAVCOMMSTA Londonderry. In 1994 I spend several months walked around the coast of Ireland and Ulster -- I suppose I was trying to understand "where I came from" and what Ireland was meant to mean to me. Traveling alone, I struck up many conversations with the (not at all reserved or shy) Irish and British people and found numerous references to the relationships people in Derry had with the USN personnel that served at NAVCOMMSTA Londonderry. I remember in particular sitting in the cab of a cement truck talking to the middle-aged lorry driver and his touching words about what the base and the energetic young Yanks had meant to the depressed UK economy at the time. Being born in NI has had a large effect on my life. My parents, both from a town outside of Rochester, NY, lived for the first ten month

He also had a fish&chips shop. can't remember what street it was on. Good fish&chips though.

And you know that when we moved in I indeed worked in every section.and the receiver site and the xmitter site. that I enjoyed. I have a few other memories, but I must go now.

Of all the stories I tell about Karl there is one I always preface with " I don't recall which of us instigated the event" It involved an afternoon swim at Lough Swilly (Skinny dipping) I'm sure the case of beer consumed between the two of us had a lot to do with it but today out of great respect I take full responsibility for this act. And so may Karl have fare winds and following seas on his final cruise -...- .-.-. Phil Wade RM 9/59 - 3/62)

Comments:	I was saddened to read of the passing of Betty Roddy Cohen. Brilliant, Luvly girl. Often in my wives conversations when reminiecing with or about Derry ones. My wife Bridget McCool and I moved into their base house (32B) in '68 as they were being transferred to the States. Steve was a prolific and studied coin collector, however as they moved out he left a large bag of coins behind. His motherload. I personally wanted to go cash it in, but my Derry girl wouldn't abide by that.The next day Steve and Betty descended upon 32B. They were not sure if they had lost it in the packing out and moving or left it in the house. We quickly relieved their concerns and they were so thankful. We had a good laugh over the ordeal as Steve let out a huge sigh of relief. Incidently, Bridgo bought Betty's living room suite, a luvly white leather sofa and chair. Our condolences to the family.

I would be grateful for some assistance - a US sailor, J.L. Smith, based at NAVCOMMSTA in 1972 had some encounters with 2nd Battalion, the Scots Guards. I would grateful for the US perspective on the relationship, including from J.L. Smith and possibly other naval personnel. If you can provide any information that would be helpful in locating J.L.

Comments:	I guess I used up my character quota, so here's the rest. I served in Exploit until I made Second Class, and after short tours on two more sweeps, I wangled a transfer back to Derry, and who should be there again but George. I was then transferred to NAS Dallas in 68, and was surprised that there was no evidence of him having been there. I transferred from there to RM"B" School, and again he wasn't there either. Transferred from there to NCS Adak, and lo and behold there he was. We had some great times up there. I am still looking for "Dutch" Quatkemeyer or meier however it was spelled. I ran into Tony Rizzo on Adak and he recruited me for his outfit. I think in Derry they were called "Back Room Receivers".

Comments:	Been perusing you guest books and Taps list. Noticed a name there with just a death date. Curtis Harper, RMCM, died at his California home, when he was trimming his hedges and shrubs. A bee or some other kind of stinging insect flew into his mouth and stung him in the throat. He died from asphyxiation from a swollen throat. Curtis and I were pretty good friends, at least as much as a First Class Petty Officer can be friends with a Master Chief. I am seeing too many names of good friends taken so early in life. All the old guys from 63 to 65 and 66 to 68. George Galligan for instance, I followed him around the world almost. He was the feared traffic checker when I got there in 63, although I worked in ship/shore CW and didn't have to worry about him, but most guys dreaded the "gig sheet". When I was transferred in 65 to USS Exploit MSO-440, I was going through some old logs and lo and behold I found the dreaded double G signature in the logs.

I loved the picture of the base in 1960 as I could see the house we lived in and it saddened me to see the pic of the demolished base and especially the flagpole. I remember that pole and the field where we would have parades and play when things were not going on. I was only 7 and 8 when we lived there but I have great memories of the base and of Ireland.

Amazingly enough after 35 years or so I was still able to copy about 20 wpm without mistakes. Somewhere in my junk I still have an old code practice test from C school in Bainbridge. I saved it because it was marked on top by the instructor. 800 characters at 30 wpm with no mistakes.

If any Navy veteran member is currently living in Ireland, you are cordially invited to join the American Legion's Post IR-63 -- the John F. Kennedy Memorial Post. We are headquartered in Dublin and, with two other posts (Kerry and Mayo) keep the tradition of "Still Serving" alive here in Ireland. We're made up of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who are either Irish formerly living in the States who joined the military or Americans who decided to come live in Ireland. Either way, we look out for one another and keep our service and veterans traditions alive. You would be very welcome to join us and may contact me as shown below. If you're in the States, this note will remind you to dig out that DD-214 and join your local American Legion post. Best wishes to all, John Sha

We draped the casket with the American Flag. His grandson Levi, had made him a Navy pillow and we had it by the casket. We had Navy apparel around. He was very proud to have served in the Navy. The Navy came and presented me the flag and the color guard did the gun salute and taps. Then the gave me the casings in a bag, and a scroll of the meaning of the folds of the flag, and the meaning of taps. One of their members take a piece of an old flag and takes old wood and puts around it. It was very emotional and we all said that it looked like Dan was smiling. He was my best friend and he had my spoiled. We had 34 great years together. With Sadness, His loving wife, Juanita.

Guess we will be later in that old Cardio unit!!! With a heavy heart, I need to inform you that Dan passed away Sunday, October 20, 2013. He had a heart attack and the ambulance came and he was talking as he went out the door but they were not able to save him. The EMT's said he became unresponsive in the ambulance and did CPR all the way to the hospital and then the cardiologist worked on him for quite some time. Dan was looking forward to come and seeing you but I have had pneumonia since July and was just getting to feel better. We took all 4 granchildern to Myrtle Beach for their fall break and arrived back home Friday morning before he passed on Sunday. These will be wonderful memories.

Comments:	I just wanted to add something on the recent and sad news (under TAPS) of Jim Eggett's passing in June of this year. Although I didn't know him from Derry, I did have the opportunity to work for him at NCS Rota's transmitter site at Moron, Spain near Seville. He was the OIC there as an LDO LT. One of the finest officers and leaders I've ever had the opportunity to work for. A real professional and always a gentleman of the first order, greatly respected and admired by those who had the good fortune to know him. He always took a personal interest in his people AND the welfare of their families. Being a small-knit community of only 20 or so, he knew everyone and was ready to listen and help not only to the men but to their families. He came packaged with an esprit de corps that lent itself to each and all. He retired from there and just before he left, he'd shown me a photo of a farm house he'd bought in IL and talked of the teaching job he planned to get. I often wond

Revisited all my local dwelling places I lived when I lived there (1970-1973) in Crawford Square, Bond's Hill, and Ebrington Terrace. Wow! Has the city changed over these past 40 years, all for the better. Lots more color, optimism, and joy.

City of culture events big time, concerts etc. Saw Ned Fagan, said "tell any of them son's of b's that may be left out there that Ned is still here". brilliant visit with him.Sad news also, Willie Canning's (gate guard)wife Anna passed a month or so ago. A luvly Lady in all respects. saw all the lads from our Soccer team, Matt Doherty/Ann, Tony Harkin/Sadie, Thomas Kearny/Margo, Eugene Bradley, talked memories of those glorious UK championship tours/brass monkey! Made multiple visits to Maileys Blue Bell Bar, Creggan's Telstar Bar just in time for my bro-in law Finn McCool b'day, The Village at Rosemount. Great reception at each. Best of all, I visited cemetery many times/laid flowers/prayed for my one and only. She's what the trip was for and will continue for as long as I can get there. All the best to everone. Derry awaits you! Bridget 'n me

She went peacefully with our kids and grandkids there. I assume she'll be buried in City Cemetery in Cregan with her dad, Willy Murray (passed in 2000) and our daughter, Audrey (passed in Gaeta, Italy in Jul 1968). She's with the two of them, now. She would have been 68 years old exactly one week from today - 05 May. I'll update once I know more. My daughter, Karen, is handling arrangements in Derry. Please keep Eileen in your thoughts and prayers. Jerry

Comments:	Just something to think about. I've been scanning my old photos (35mm b&w and color, and 35mm slides) to digital the last couple of months. It'll take some time because in slides alone I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000. Many are from Derry from the 1960s and 70s during my 3 tours there. I also have a lot of old naval scenes from the 60s and 70s. On my 'twilight' tour in London (80-83) followed my civilian tour with NSIC (83-88) I also freelanced as a photojournalist and wrote a monthly column for a Brit sports magazine and had many photos published in the US & UK. I have several 35mm color prints and slides already scanned, but lots more when I finally get to those :-). When I get to them, I'll try and post some of the oldies from Derry here. I also have newer digital photos from my visit there last June. Naval photos I'll be posting on my facebook page. Just a heads up.

And I also want to extend my condolences to the families of Buck Barclay and John Davis - both of these men, along with Rick, were very good friends of mine back in the day. I apologize for this late entry but I've been have a few problems here, too, and haven't been checking in as often as I should. Again, my condolences and prayers are with you all.

Comments:	All Hands Notice. If any of you are being prescribed Niaspan by your VA Doc, or private Doc, here's a news flash. My private health plan co-payment for a one month supply of Niaspan is $35.00. I can get it from the VA Pharmacy for $9.00/mo. A couple of days ago, I spotted a product in the Pharmacy area (vitamins and supplements passageway) named "Slo Niacin, 500 mg." I called my civilian Doc and discussed with him and he looked it up and found that the formula was virtually the same (only the "carrier" was different) and he told me I could start using Slo Niacin instead of the prescription Niaspan. The cost for 100 tablets of Slo Niacin at WalMart is $12.94. Yesterday, I received my prescription from the VA pharmacy. They sent me the exact same thing, in the Slo Niacin packaging and all, that I can purchase from WalMart. So...from the VA, it's $27.00 for a 90 day supply, and it's $12.95 for a 100 day supply from WalMart. I've called my VA Doc and filled her in

Comments:	Notice to members. If you're not already registered with the VA for Medical Care, please do so ASAP. You need not have a service connected disability to receive medical care benefits from your local VA medical facility. For many of us who spent time amongst the old mechanical teletypes, and later as crew members on noisy surface vessels or air craft carriers, and/or in air squadrons, high-frequency hearing loss becomes worse as we age. Have your hearing tested at the VA...the co-payment if you have no service connected disability is only $50.00...and if you need hearing aids as I did, they're provided free of charge from there. You'll also receive batteries for life at no charge, and they will be replaced free of charge if you break or lose one. FYI, my civilian HMO cost for the same make and model hearing aids the VA supplied for free would have been $6,000.00 for the pair. That's right Shipmates....Six Thousand Dollars for the pair.

Comments:	It is with great sadness that I report the loss of another of our beloved Derry friends, William "Willie" Canning (gateguard). He passed peacefully on October 02, 2011 with family members and friends present. I had the priviledge of being a friend of Willie and his lovely wife Anna since 1966 and visited with them on every trip I made to Ireland. You may remember that in the past I have bragged about Anna making the best cup of tea I ever tasted. She took great care of that wee man and vice versa. They were a lovely couple. As I left his home this past Sep. Willie saluted me and kept his salute up until I saluted back. I believe he was giving me a "wee message". Address is 30 Dungiven Road, Londonderry, N.I.

Comments:	I wasn't going to introduce the organization to new information afffecting quite a few of our personnel due to the "poor response"" received by certain members of the organization and board; however this one I believe is important as it WILL affect quite a number of our members. On Thursday, Medicare officials announced the new Part B premium rates for 2012 – which were significantly lower across the board than most people had expected. And for the first time in memory, large numbers of seniors will actually see their premiums drop significantly. Most beneficiaries with incomes under $85,000 (or $170,000 for couples) will see a small increase in monthly premiums from $96.40 to $99.90 – an increase of 3.6%. But for some in that category (specifically, those who first became eligible for Medicare in 2010 and 2011) the $99.90 rate will be less than what they paid in 2011. Similarly, beneficiaries with incomes above $85,000 ($170,000 for married couples) will see their

Housing torn up and grounds all grown over, I ti a shame it was not used for the people over there. They wnt in a converted all the housing over to 220V and OFCH for the British Military, why did they give or sell the homes to the local people before they got destroyed, or at least offer them to some of us to buy for get away homes (HE HE). Wait until you see the photos some of us are sending in of what is left. Buy now I think they will be pulling the bulldozers onto the base and start tearing them down. I think they help off until after this reunion. My wife, My son ROy Jr who was born there went out to see it later on when they got over, and my wife would not even get out of the car to look, said it was simply a disgrace to the American people who lived ther

Remember how they drove some of you Lifers bananas??? What was he doing to your Navy???? Chief Marcum must have had conniption fits not being able to tell everyone to get a whitewall anymore.

Comments:	SUPER IMPORTANT........ Take Action! Contact Senate Without your action, the Pentagon will have a clear pathway to raise TRICARE fees 13 percent starting 1 October. Military retirees and their families have earned the TRICARE benefit through 20 or more years of arduous uniformed service. What they have earned and what they have been promised should not be first in line for budget cuts when there are so many lower priority programs that should be chopped first. Your Senators can block the Pentagon plan. Write today to stop the Pentagon from making a 13 percent increse in TRICARE Prime fees.

Comments:	By Rick Maze - Staff writer Tuesday May 10, 2011 15:59:13 EDT A political battle has begun as lawmakers scramble to save a military health insurance program that the Defense Department says is too generous to doctors and retirees.The House Armed Services Committee is poised to do the Pentagon’s bidding.Committee chairman Buck McKeon, R-Calif., will propose Wednesday that Medicare-eligible military retirees be barred from enrolling in the U.S. Family Health Plan beginning Oct. 1, 2012. This move, requested by the Defense Department, would leave the Tricare insurance option open for active-duty families and for working-age retirees and their families, but prevent new patients from enrolling once they reach age 65. Medicare-eligible retirees already in the plan would not be forced to drop coverage. While McKeon’s committee is expected to approve the Pentagon proposal, it is not clear what might happen when the Senate Armed Services Committee takes up the defense author

Tricare, Medicare and Obamacare (PPACA) March 17, 2011 Introduction: Vice Admiral Harold Koenig, MC (Retired) was a member of the USNA Great Class of 62, Plebe year. He unfortunately left the Naval Academy after Plebe year, due to a medical problem. He subsequently graduated from Baylor College of Medicine. He then re-joined the Navy as a Navy Physician. His career highlights include CO of Balboa Naval Medical Center, and Surgeon General of the Navy. Let’s welcome Admiral Koenig. Good Afternoon, USNA Alumni, San Diego Chapter. As you may know, I spent 32 years in Navy Medicine. I bilged out of USNA after Plebe year because I failed the hearing test. So I went off to college, then medical school with a 4-F draft card in my pocket. At the beginning of my junior year I got a letter from my draft board re-classifying me 1-Y. That was a special category for physicians who were 4

My youngest son from my first marriage to Eileen Murray is getting married on 4 June to a wonderful lady from Omagh. Of course my son, running true to form for Keenan, brought her over for a holiday this past Sep. and proposed to her, on his knees and the whole bit, in front of Tiffany's in Manhattan. The day? 9/11!!! :-) Another NY disaster ;-). The wedding will be in Omah, Bronagh's hometown, reception in Strabane, and we all sober up in Derry.

Uniform Wear Banned Off Base in Europe March 24, 2011 Stars and Stripes\|by John Vandiver --> STUTTGART, Germany -- U.S. troops in Europe are now forbidden to wear their uniforms off post “to the maximum extent possible,” including daily commutes to and from the office, as part of an effort to prevent servicemembers from standing out in a crowd, according to U.S. European Command. The new policy, which comes three weeks after a deadly shooting outside Frankfurt Airport that left two Airmen dead and two badly wounded, takes effect immediately. The EUCOM mandate affects all Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines serving in the European theater. The rule also takes effect as U.S. forces engage Libya in a high-profile operation being commanded from U.S. Africa Command headquarters in Stuttgart and could bring added attention to U.S. troops here. “The directive spe

Release No. 04-01-11 April 4, 2011 DOD to drop Social Security numbers from ID cards By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON -- Beginning June 1, Social Security numbers on military identification cards will begin to disappear, said Air Force Maj. Monica M. Matoush, a Pentagon spokeswoman. The effort is part of a larger plan to protect service members and other DOD identification card holders from identity theft, officials said. Criminals use Social Security numbers to steal identities, allowing them to pillage resources, establish credit or to hijack credit cards, bank accounts or debit cards. Currently, the Social Security number is printed on the back of common access cards, and on the front of cards issued to dependents and retirees. Beginning in June, when current cards expire, they will be replaced with new cards having a DOD identification number replacing the Social Security number, officials s

Comments:	Surprise Appointment Intrudes on TRICARE Fee Debate Senior Defense officials defended their plan to raise TRICARE Prime fees modestly for working-age retirees at a Tuesday hearing of the House armed services subcommittee on military personnel. Next day, representatives of military associations testified. Five of them, including one who spoke on behalf of 13 other groups too, said they could accept what would be the first TRICARE fee increases in 16 years. The same groups could accept annual adjustments to these fees if the inflation index used were the same one used to set retiree cost-of-living raises. Every beneficiary advocate at the hearing, however, rejected the Obama administration's call to adjust retiree TRICARE Prime fees based solely on medical cost inflation. Defense officials haven't picked the particular health cost index they want. But their budget savings assume fees would rise by an average of 6.2 percent a year if tied to medical inflation.

Including our family's greatest assignment at NAVCOMMSTA Londonderry from 6/70 to 7/72. My brother, sister & I attended the local schools and my mother was active in local charity work. I proudly display Dad's base plaque and giant shillelagh in my home today. Dad and the U.S. Navy gave me a childhood of adventure and a lifetime of memories.

Comments:	Happy New Year, one and all! I've never had the ability (due to work constraints over the years) to attend any of the reunions. However, seems most people that do attend were not when I was stationed in Derry (1970-1973), and I have a terrible thing about names anyway. I do have fond memories, but mainly living off base and all the locals, including my landlord and his family, that made all the difference for a single guy. Also, living in the closet didn't help much either. LOL

Ending the most painfull year of my life. My Mom died 0040 News Years morning. My childhood buddy who enlisted with me had his 49 year old wife die in her sleep. Heart attack. Then 2 of my friends 1 was like a brother died 10 days apart. Just to complete the first 6 months of the year my wife left. So I say to all my friends, the few left, get a physical and stay in touch. I hope my best friend from Derry, Zack Taylor, can stay strong and beat his sickness. Happy holidays to all.

One of the stated goals of the bipartisan task force is to reduce the cost of military health care by imposing greater cost-sharing on TRICARE beneficiaries. Some retirees could see their TRICARE premiums increase by as much as $2,000 a year. Read more at the Military Advantage blog. Military.com surveys have found that most servicemembers and their families are confused by TRICARE. Get the facts and latest news on TRICARE. Stay tuned it gets worse. The Gov't is hurting bad due to their un-Godly spending habits and now need $$. They can only get it in two places (1) Gov't employees (2) Active duty/retirees draw pensions.......clear now ???..../Ippy ____

All married, all have babies and kids that Bridget and I love and dote on. I apologize, but I never could tell a story in 1000 characters or less. All the best Rick

Comments:	Still delivering the Royal Mail. Remember Jim Logan, base cook (redhead). Met his son who manages the Derry City sports shop opposite Williams St. Great kconversation. Remembers going to the base on July 4th and seeing those pigs-a-roasting. Amazing how many remember those pigs, hear it many times. Went to Derry's St. Patricks parade. Nicely done, many children and schools participate and a very good pipe and drum corp. Not what we see stateside and its still a holy day in Ireland.Of course I visited with "The Boys" who played football with our Navy team. Matt (the Big Breadman) and Ann now have a grandson who keeps them off the streets and out of trouble.Tony (Gator) and Sadie Harkin are considering moving to Manchester cuz their daughter Evonneis expecting their first grandchild, their boys are residing and working there. Thomas(Wommy)and Margo Kearney's daughter Connie has given them a beautiful boy and girl. They're over the moon. Thomas is for sure a "wee old granny". Eugene (the

Comments:	On the Third day I sprung a surprise and told Jake that whoever drank the first shot also had to eat one of the worms. There were some shocked looks and everyone trying to remember who took the first. Jake knew. Bottle lasted for 5/6 days but the conversation went on. Great stuff. Visited Johnny Griffin, who I had not seen since our 1992 reunion, and his lovely wife Rita, who though being very ill herself, still made us a cup of tea and had great converstion of many friends in Derry and Thurso. Their son Ryan and wife have given them two beautiful grandchildren.Johnny used to fix all the bowling Alleys in Ireland and currently does the same for 5 McDonalds in Derry and nearby. Can you believe 5 McDees? Not to mention KFC"s, Burger King etc. Whodda thunk it! Saw Clem Kunda who went back to the states for retirement (62)and has returned to settle in. Got a new house right behind our base where the white houses were. B.J. Tiernan, who is now more Derry than Derry, still delivering the

Comments:	Greetings fellow websters. Got back from the land of the green a week or so ago. lUnfortunately this trip was of an emergency nature as one of Bridget's sisters was very ill and eventually passed. Sure many of you have had similar circumstances. Stayed another two weeks, spent quality time with the family and some with a pub owner or two. The weekend befor we wemt I was in Mexico, while in a liquor store I saw the perfect gift for my friend Jake McCool, the best barman at Mailey's Blue Bell Bar. A bottle of that tequila with the worm in it, the real rot-gut stuff. This one was the updated model,it had two worms!They live in the cactus (agave)that tequila is made from. Jake kept it at the barand gave patrons a mini shot glass. Only one. All kinds of comments and reactions. All fun. Could not get over the shock of the worms, not to mention the taste. Hey, this is hard stuff.I made sure they knew that whoever drank the last shot had to east the worm. That caused some concerns. On the Thir

Went shopping at both malls uptown, Sainsbury's doing the family shopping. Went to Ness Country Park which is a new park and it was absolutely great, also went to St. Columba's Park on the Waterside and it was also great, both times on family outings that they do almost every weekend. My son works in security at the U.S. Consulate in Belfast but his schedule at the time allowed him to be off for ten of the 18 days I was at his home. Had a great time.

Comments:	At the ripe young age of 19 I was sent to. Derry to start my Radioiman duties. At that time I was fresh off the streets of Pittsburgh and to say the least quite a handfull. Well I didnt know how fortunate I was to have been under the command of Captain Al Ashurst during these very impressionable years. Anyone who was there when Captain Ashurst was in command can testify that the Captains ability to communicate to and get the best out of his personnel was exceptionnal. I for one will be forever indebted to this man for the things he did for me and countless other young men, And the positive lessons he taught us.I think of him often and wish I could see him and let him know face to face. He deserves the hug and affection a father would deserve.Thanks again Captain. You have made a difference in my life. I encourage any of the people that Captain Al Ashurst touched and influenced to let him know. He was truly a 1 in a million Commander and I was honored to serve to the best of my abilitie

Most of you I met while stationed in Derry, while others I know from my Thurso/Rota days and even 1 from CNL (Morocco). And there are a couple I know only from working across the o/w from. Sadly, there are also a number who've passed on. Many thanks to Dennis and the others for all their hard work and dedication in bringing this together for the rest of us.

As usual everything was gran on the Emerald Isle, however on the last week of May there were three consecutive days of record weather temperatures of 24c and 25c. Unheard of heat and sun. Everyone was down to almost their skin as the locals were soaking the rays. The young ladies were dressed to the nines in their best summer attire, somebody needs to open a base here, quick! Preferrably the Navy. Incidently, pint of beer 2 pounds sixty in Derry...Across the border, 4 pounds eighty or 5 Euros a pint. Everything pricey, just like here, except double. Cheers, cu in S.C.

I know every member would feel a great loss of this teammate and friend. What a great young guy this was....he was tall, blond , a magnificent smile....too handsome to be fair to the rest of us for sure. But best of all (FROM A TEAM PERSPECTIVE) "he had a great "Jump Shot" from anywhere in the interior to 18-20 feet out. I can still hear the "swish" of the net as his soft shots went through and his strut back to defense. We had a great bunch of guys on that team, and though some trnsferred in/out during these years, they were still part of the same team: I remember a few: along with Ronnie was Lance Cramer,Bob Littin, Kenny Doerfler, Jeff...who checked in with Ronnie but I can never remember his last name,Marvelous Marvin Murray, Sean O'Connor, Harry Pangburn, Lenny Lenardson,John Moore, etc. I hope a few more will sign in.

I hope we will all remember the true meaning and just wish everyone a Happy Day and Happy upocoming New Year. Looking forward to getting back together with all again soon.

I'd also like to know if anybody can recall an Irish girl across from the main gate that went by the name of Alison. Blue eyes and blonde hair. I went to school with her and I knew her and her brother quite well and would love to hear from them. I believe they lived in the second house west of the main gate. She would be about 48 now. I used to sneak around the main gatehouse all the time to go visit with her and her brother. No idea why I thought I had to sneak. Anybody have pictures of Clooney Park and those TALL slides? (Dad almost killed himself sliding down one. He got the bright idea to bring wax paper with him to sit on. Went off the end of the slide like a bullet!) You might remember that my dad had something to do with the base movies. I distinctly recall we went to a British sub in River Foyle one day were w

I come back from time to time to have a look at the pictures and reminisce. I love seeing how Derry looked back then. I have so many wonderful memories of it. What a joy it was to see Capt. Wards pictures of the 1967 Halloween party and see myself and my sister in them. I was the Mummy swaddled up in white bandages. My sister is the one in the blue and white Miss Muffet outfit with the white cap. I even saw myself in a few other pictures blowing up balloons. We both won the contest for best costume for our age group (thats why you see us going around the pole in a circle, for judging). I can recall winning a cake at the 4th of July event on a cakewalk and lo and behold, there is one picture of Capt Ward's of a cakewalk.

I am negotiating with the HOLIDAY INN, SUN-SPREE in Virginia Beach where we have been before. We are looking at ETA 21 Sept 08 and ETD 25 Sept 08 (Sun-Thurs). As soon as I know the room rates and the charges for the hospitality room, Sunday night welcome reception, and Wednesday night buffet, I will let you all know. However, in order to do this the best way with the hotel, I need to know by the end of this weekend how many people will attend each function. Please feel free to pass the word to any and all, makes no difference when they were in Derry. The MINI originally started for those serving in Derry in the late 50's, but has expanded. Any and all are welcome. Please do respond by no later than the end of the day Sunday this week.

Was up in Rosemount (Village Pub) when we got the word on Sonny D. (another good guy away) who had lived a couple doors away.Ran into Ray Philson (cook and proclaimed "Mountain-Man) and Ned Fagan (long time civilian supvr) for some big time reminiscing! These guys remember everybody (gasp). Got my fair share of football...Derry City doing super in the Eircom and Man-U winning EPL and CL. Priceless stuff. Our old friends Matt Doherty, Tony Harkin,Thomas Kearney, Eugene Bradley send regards to USN FC.75-77. Chick Surko's daughter Nicola had a baby girl and his granddau Carrie had a girl during our stay....and got word on Stan Rodgers g-dau being born recently....all girls...Wow.

Comments:	Interesting story. Part #1. 1969 Chief "Greek" Borekas and wife came to visit me and (ex) Brigid at Ballyspallen, Ballykelly. We sat in the living-room, looking out at the darkness and noticed tail-lights cartwheeling as a Mini crashed and came over the hedge into the neighbour's field. The Chief and I went to investigate and found four teens with broken bones and much spattered blood. We put them in the Chief's huge Suburban and took off to Roe Valley Hospital. Part #2. 16th. March 1970, Brigid and I were driving from Belfast with three month old son Mike. My unreliable Vauxhall failed coming past Dungiven. A taxi driver took us home and refused to accept payment. He explained that his daughter was one of the teens mentioned in Part #1. Small World.

Len and Paula will be back in the good old USA at the end of June and will be checking out possible hotel sites in Charleston, South Carolina for this mini-reunion, looking for sometime in September of this year.

Firstly I have to say that I have been visiting the site for some time and never signed the guest book until feeling impelled to leave a few words of condolences for an Alumni member & fellow associate who has recently departed on the 15th March 2008, being ROSS WARDLOW I had always intended to leave a message on the site but never got around to it before, until now,which I wish I could have done under happier circumstances.

Comments:	It is with both great saddness and complete shock on hearing of the untimely passing yesterday 15th March 2008 of ROSS WARDLOW "Good Old Boy" a member of your Alumni Association, and a former fellow musician, of who I feel richer to have known, and who will be sadly missed by all in the music fraternity who have had the priviledge of knowing him. I first met Ross in the latter part of the 70's, shortly after he finished his Tour of Duty at the Clooney base, when he, like so many others before him, met and married a local girl, and then took the decisive decision of not going back to the States but opting to stay in Derry after their T.O.D. I, for my part, can only express my own opinions, which Im sure, are the shared opinions of all who either met or knew Ross and that is............. He was both A Gentleman.... A Scholar in the way he conducted himself and the overall impression he left within the local entertainment scene,being as always a credit to both his Country, Wife & Fa

Comments:	It is with deep regret that I read of the passing of Bridget Badham, our Base Operator. When I was in Derry (70-71), I worked in the Base Admin office around the corner from the Operator's room & often dropped in on Bridget just to chat. She was truly an amazing woman who was always cheerful and never had an unkind word to say about anyone. Back when the base phones had no dial, I discovered that you could reach another number on base by rapidly tapping the receiver hook, counting the number of taps for the number you wished to ring. For example, if you wanted ext. 214, you could tap 2 times quickly, then pause and tap 1 time, then pause and tap four times rapidly, and your call would go through. I phoned Bridget about it and told her she could ignore the rapidly flapping doors on the switchboard for my extension as I was calling another number so as she would not have to bother connecting me. We had quite a laugh at that, and my system worked great. On my last day in

He was so gentle, kind, and always smiling and wanted so much to be ""The Navy Man""..well Barn, you were...no doubt about it. God bless you and Margaret on this journey that God has chosen for you. We will never forget you...I won't cause you played so deep in left field when I was at bat...as I did you. God bless your soul my friend. You'll always be with us....../Ippy

Both of their wives/kids and mine were also very close. Condolences to Margaret who did a magnificent job caring for and loving Barney and Barney's children Greg, Jeff and Jeselle from Bridget and I.

First memory of him was 1967, Bridget and I had just moved into base housing, 32A next to Baushka and Maureen at 32B. I had a horrible cold and Bridget said "go see Bobby Fitzpatrick at the club and tellem to make you an Irish hot whiskey". What's that? Just go! Got my first one served and Gobish and Dean Ellis, Funk, Bolesic and others were shooting darts (slow night) and asked what the heck was that you're drinking? Hot Whiskey! wanna taste? Before long most of the group was drinking the same. I got home late and knocked, wife opened the door, said "you're full". How many hot whiskeys did you have. Ten! was the answer. And how's you're cold? What cold?? You just know Bobby cured a few boys in his day. Rick

Comments:	You all may remember my father Lonnie M. Massey, he was the COMNAVTELECOM Eng. at Derry from 1961-172. He ran the transmitter facility during that time with the NAVY. He still talks about the AN-FRT 39's and 40's. Some of you had him as an instructor. He is still alive and doing well living in Suffolk, VA ever since they shut down NAV COM STA at Driver, VA. Has no internet at home but has lots of old slides and is interested from hearing from any radiomen via snail mail. You can reach him at 832 Normandy Dr. Suffolk, VA 23434

Comments:	I was the first sailor that I can remember that started having wedding receptions in the club, on Nov 15 1966, Maureen and I was married, and had our reception at the old EM club. Bobby prepared the meal for us and it was wonderful. It was appreciated and everyone loved it. I think after that there were many more receptions in the club, and Bobby help prepare a lot of them as well, I am sure that all of them will remember his assistance, and his friendship, and the love he had for all of us while doing these honors for us. The best thing that I, or anyone that knew Bobby, is that when he done something for you he put his heart into it, and his love for his fellow man and friend. Agnes & Family he will be missed by all of us and when we come back to Derry on our regular visits it will be a lose for us not so see him and you together.

Comments:	A Note that I am sending the Fitzpatrick family from all of us and myself. Others may send one as well: Agnes and the Fitzpatrick Family: Your lose, is also our lose as well. Although we are not with you at this time we are also Bobby’s family. The many years that he was a part of the U. S. Navy base at Clooney was a joyful feeling to all that knew him. He had a constant smile, and never a bad word to say to anyone. He was like a father, a Buddy, a friend all rolled into one person. There were many sailors that remember Bobby for his humor, and his help at the Club. His Hamburgers were always just as we wanted them, he would always put that extra touch of something on it to make it taste just right, and that touch was his love and friendship to all of us who knew him and remember him. We are proud to call him a fellow American, but he did not need that citizenship paper for us to call him that. He was one of us and a part of us and our families. I was the first sailor that

Comments:	I'd like to share with all of you the following message I received from Leo Fitzpatrick, son of the late Bobby Fitzpatrick: "He had cancer that we did not know about and last Saturday, the 20th of October, he collapsed and was taken to the hospital. Then, after some tests, I was told Monday morning, the 22nd, he had days to live. It was on his hip bone and had moved to his Kidney. Being the strong man that he was he never complained with the pain he must have been in for at least a year. But Jim he did slip away peacefully and it was best that way for my mother. Please tell everyone who thought so dearly of him. He made the 2 reunions and that was his high light of his last years on this earth after claiming his American citizenship some years ago from his own Dad who was born in New Jersey, USA. Thank you for being a friend of my father and the great memories he passed us on from his time with you all."

Comments:	Bobby Fitzpatrick: This man will be remembered by all that pass the portals of NST. He was the joker, the fater figure, the friend, the buddy, and all those rolled up into one person. Even our families remember him. I remember when I got married, and at the EM club, he help set up the reception. He took care of all our needs and was a part of it. Then when I left the base for a couple years and came back the family and I went to the club one night to eat. Bobby was cooking the burgers, and said to me, where you been Roy havn't seen you since the wedding, don;t you ever come to the club anymore. I said Gheeesh Bobby I have been gone for about 2 years. Now this part of Derry and the Clooney base will be with us in our memories forever. God bless his family

Barney was under the knife for 6 hrs and came through as well as could ever be expected......Doc said the bypass blood flow was the best he has seen from this type of bypass operation......Thank the lord...... So, so far so good......He obviously is in intensive care and will be there for some time yet.....The news is good, this battle seems won, but now we need to help Barney win the war..... Pls keep praying for him and his family. We know that all the prayers for them are so helpful..... Paula and I will keep you all informed as we receive the news Barney is in Wake Forest (not sure, maybe has 2 r's) University Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem N.C. It is possible to call critical care 1-336-716-6542 Station 5C and when they ask for the code or pass word, say "Barker" and you will be given a report...... Pls keep the prayers for Barney and his family..... Love, Paula n Len (Kaf)

Comments:	Here is the latest on our buddy Barney Westphal (RM, 58-63): On Mon, 22 Oct, Barney will undergo a bypass operation on one of his carotids. Both are 100% blocked and the only blood that is getting to his brain is from capilliaries which the body has developed following the blockages. This operation is very serious and with much risk. However, Barney and Margaret really have no option other than the surgery. For without the successful surgery, there really is no hope, it is just a matter of time. I ask all of you to please pray for a successful outcome for Barney and that God gives him some more quality time with his family and friends. Paula and I are now in Paris until about next June or July, so we will have a big candle burning in Saint Rita for Barney and his family. We wish for the continued blessings for all of you, your family and friends, and may we all stay healthy, happy and safe so we can all come together again. We will try to put together another M

Comments:	I am very sorry to send this. Jim Owens (Derry 62 - 64) passed on at 1:26 PM 10/20/07 after a good fight against an unknown problem. After a bout with colon cancer (last three years) and a Hernia operation early this year he was diagnosed with pancreas and liver cancer. Although they contributed to his problem, he suffered an unexplained downturn in late Sept. He is interred at: Roller McNutt Funeral Home, 801 8th AVE. Po. Box 249, 702032, Conway Arkansas. He will buried soon, date unknown at this time. His family is working to obtain a U.S. Navy burial ceremony. He is survived by Veronica Owens (McGillaway) of Derry and three daughters Sandra, Sylvia and Maureen as well as grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Veronica is suffering from heart problems at this time probably agravated by the loss of Jim. Her address is 2211 Independence, Conway Arkansas 72034 - 1-501-327-6680.

Why go to Derry every few years, when you can get together in the States. I hate to read that another member left us, and everyone says lets get together, until the next death. If there are any difference of opinions, forget them and just have some fun for a few days. Cheers

For the years we were in Derry, I had to sit in my room across the hallway and look over into Jim and Steve's room. Those were the days, all the cleaning and preping for inspections and getting ready for the Beach was fun while it lasted. Now One of us is gone, again it is a great sadness that comes upon us at this time. Farewell my friend and may God bless your family and keep them well Forever memories!!!

They had a baby girl in Dec 1944, he was shipped out and sent money and letters for his family that were never given to Mamie. He returned for both after the war but was prevented from seeing them by the Donnelly family. The family members all now dead, never revealed to the daughter her father's name, hometown, branch of service, or rank. We know he was American, and Protestant, and made the trip back to N. Ireland after the war. We are hoping the man himself, or a friend, comrade, or family member would remember something that would help trace the father. Any information, thoughts, advice would be welcome.

She has found out that she has breast cancer and will be scheduled for double mastectomy surgery. She thinks it will be on or around the 10th of September. Please raise up your prayers up for Marie.

Comments:	I don't know what the total cost for our reunion in Derry this past Month was, but I do feel that there were many things paid for that should have come from Dues from our members. Come on all you guys and gals that are out there in NST land that enjoyed the reunion, and enjoy this web site. Lets dig in our pockets and send in the dues that our leaders on this site can use for postage, letters, and all that other stuff that should be paid for by members. The cost isn't that much and lifetime dues are on $100.00 some of us spend that much on a night out with our families, sometime (not too often) but I know some of us have. This is a non profit organization so we can't require you to pay dues, but what ever you can do will help our Staff.. I am not one of them so I can tell you this stuff. Please consider dropping a few $$$$$ to our Staff members for dues, and they will see that we want to continue having these reunions. The next NST reunion will be in two years somewhere, and the

Although the numbers were down from '03, I had just as great a time (well, not really since Dolores wasn't there with me) with ship - er - "base"mates and friends! Maybe by the time we go back the $ will have a little more value, too!

I am also grateful to all of you for your support and prayers. Please continue, he has a long road back. Love. Margaret

They will try and put in a pacemaker today but they are not sure how much it will help - his heart rate was down to 32-42.

Comments:	I am told that I am the first child born (1949) of a sailor's wife while stationed at Derry. This, I am also told, is how I got the nickname "Skipper," as the the sailors working for my father, CTC Richard Henry ("Dick")Ross, dubbed me the "Skipper of the ship." My father was stationed at Derry '47-'49, and died of natural causes in 1951. The second baby born, I am further told, is Bernadette Simon, daughter of "Si" and Bernie Simon, herself a Derry bride. I hope to return to Derry one day, and suggest that a "brats" section be added to the website. This will help to perpetuate both the site and the reunions.

Well I can finally verify that Zack Taylor and June are alive and well in Derry. Had a nice wee chat at the square. They both look absolutely great. And lastly (finally) spent some super time with my friends and football mates. Such as our own Matt Doherty,(Ann) who this year got inducted into the football "Hall of Fame". He was presented a huge football boot made of crystal and inscribed accordingly before the start of a Cup final at the Brandywell. Tony Harkin (Sadie, who's brother Hugo poured me one too many "Wee Powers" at the Village on St. Pats nite).

Comments:	My name is Jimmy Doherty and my dad was a barber in the base. He also had a shop in the Lecky Road called NEIL'S BARBER SHOP. To answer RM Roy Spencer about the Christmas party band at the EM Club - the band was called the FLINGLES, with Ronnie Ramsey (also known as Mike 'Coalman' Ramsey - him being a coalman), Trevor Keys, Mervyn Cargill, Jim Whiteside, and Roy Arbuckle. Also, the photograph of Butch Self - the girl next to him became his wife, Mary. And, to answer Ward Bessette's guestbook question regarding the Dive Club, was the dive master called Ernie Green? He was involved in the Derry Sub Aqua Club. Sadly he passed away a couple of years ago. Contact me for any other information you feel I might be able to provide you.

Comments:	A word of warning for those that were scheduled to fly into Derry City Airport for the reunion in July. As of today, 25 May, the Derry City Airport has been closed down for safety reasons. It would be wise to contact your airlines to find out how they are routing you to Ireland if the airport is still closed down in July. Hopefully it MAY be open in July, but if I were you, I would check with the airline you are flying on to check on your flight status.

Comments:	IRT Dave McNair. Sorry to learn that Dave McNair passed away 2 May 2007. Besides being friends in Derry during the 60's, we were close pals while attending Radioman B School. We lost touch in the late 60's, I was surprised that he was residing in Derry at the time of his death. hope he didn't suffer.

Comments:	Hey Sports...well its about time someone straightened this mess up. Tks Sully, I guess you're it for life...you luv it anyway. Well had to take an early trip to Derry due to family emergency (worked out) and son coming back from the 'Raq during our normal time. But it turned out great. Or as I was telling a Tx friend of mine couple years ago....."man it was great, didn't even rain. Bridget turned around and sez "Rick, it rained everyday we were there". It did? My buds sez...I'll bet I know where you spent your time! Oh well. The best thing I did while there was to go to Altnagalvin and see "Big" Barney and Huey Mailey. My friend Jake McCool took me, I surely would have been lost there now....and I just got a phone call from John Boyda whose daughter Dene' called him with the news of their passing.Both great, great men. treated everyone right. I always felt more at home when I'd see Huey behind the bar. During my visit at the hosp..these men were obviously in some distress....but rece
