Welcome to Shemya
Handbook

1 December 1960

On August 13th, 2006, I received a notice from Eddie Smith, a Shemya resident from 1959-1960, that he had a copy of the 1960 Welcome to Shemya Air Force Station Hand Book. Ed was kind enough to have had his paper copy scanned and converted to PDF files, which he then sent to us for posting on our Shemya web site. Eddie has since sent me his copy of the handbook, which I've totally re-scanned from scratch and posted on our web site in both HTML and PDF formats.

I found the artwork to be humorous, and while simple, sure did drive home the subject messages. A/2C Raymond Luske did the drawings for the hand book. Ray currently lives in Northern California, while Eddie lives in Oregon.

You can see the posted pages by clicking on the "HERE" link below, corresponding to the version you wish to view. The PDF version pages can be expanded to make reading a little easier if need be. When viewing the HTML version, The left-hand window is an index of page numbers. Click on a page number and the corresponding page should appear in the right-hand window. Each of these windows are scrollable. Note that several pages are marked "(blank)." These are pages that were blank in the original handbook, and do not link to any corresponding pages.The PDF version when viewed in Acrobat Reader has page advance buttons included.
