| I arrived on Amchitka Oct 1946 and departed May 1947. Was 1 of 2 crypto techs in the 120th AACS Detachment, Lt. Ross Livermore the OIC. Our quonset huts near the main hangar were often visited by rats which we chased away with fire extinguishers. Have vivid memories of the winds, 1 night a steady 90 mph with gusts to 135. 2 or more C-47s blown off runway into the tundra. Fog often so thick that Tower would call down to we in hangar to confirm plane ok on ground. One mild earthquake while there. |

Always wondered about the crew I worked with: Oscar Moberg, Don Brush, George Davidson, Ron Wolk, Carl Bradley, many more.I have some photos of the way things were back in the earlt 1970s. Sure would like to go beach combing there again for glass fish-net floats. |

| I was on Amchitka from 1989 - 1992 as one of the Contracting Officers (relieved Jim Lebietz). I think of it often along with the great people I worked with. |

| I was on the ROTHR program from 1990-1993. Loved the outdoors. Searched the Island over. Fished landlocked Dollie Varden. Don't believe I'd like to go back..never really new when we would make it off the island. |

| I was there to support the ROTHR computer equipment (DEC). I was there from 89 to 92, this was an experience I'll never forget. I was the first "DEC guy" and the last "DEC guy" there to support the equipment. |

| I delivered fuel to several Aleutian Islands including Amchitka during the 90's. I recently retired and visited Amchitka via private boat in July '08. I noted that virtually all traces of buildings have vanished and little is left but a bit of rubbish, docks, runways and roads. Can anyone tell me what the two monoliths are on a hilltop about 2-3 miles from the piers? And would anyone share their stories and some photos of various buildings and installations WWII to 90's. I will share my photos. |

| Worked on Amchitka with the US Fish and Wildlife Service during the summer of 1977 as part of a small crew on the Aleutian Canada Goose Project. Was just a 16 year old at the time--what a great adventure and left with many wonderful memories. A barren yet beautiful place. |
