My father Major Walter Keils was stationed at Anderson AFB from 1956-1958. He was a "typhoon chaser " and a pilot at the time. I remember beautiful Tarague beach, our backyard was next to the boondocks and we would watch the storms come in. My best friend was Tanya McDaniel and a boy whose last name was Berg. I Remember my parents and their friends sitting up one night waiting for a plane that was lost. I found picture on Picasso taken by McNab. Several were pictures of my parents that I had never seen before. I would love to know who took them.

I went to school at first at Agat Elementary, Barrigata Jr High and JFK high school We had to wait 6 mo for base housing so we lived in Agat just north of Nimitz beach about 50 yrds from the shore I remember swimming & snorkeling everyday when we moved up to the NAS we lived about 150yrds from the back gate and the Agana airline terminal on central ave. I remember the all the Fiestas and weddings we went to Roast pig BBQ chicken and that Redish orange rice(I could eat a ton of it YUMM) they had at every one the Lumpia the Guammainiun cherries,Star fruit,Bread fruit,and fresh coconuts(pickum off the tree and slice a hole and have a big drink MMM tasty). I also remember the big trucks loaded with bombs going up the main road to Anderson ,shopping at the Townhouse in Agana and going to the Exchange at the Navel base yes the Exchange on the hill and the commisary down below,going up the the airforce beach with its pure white sand hikeing to Talafofo falls going to gun beach,and them finding the last Japanese soldier on the island watching the B-52's fly by on ther way to Vietnam then the tankers going to meet them on there way back Does anybody have pics of NAS base housing the Chiefs Club the movie theater or any and all of the NAS or the Navel base at Apra Harbor,and the trucks that use to haul the bombs to Anderson(my wife looks at me like I'm nuts everytime I tell her about them) my email is bemmer78@yahoo.com if you'd like to talk or whatever !!LOL Thank You, David

I lived on Guam from 1988 - 19990. I was in the Navy and was stationed at NAVCAMS Westpac. One of the best times of my life. I think the thing I remember the most is the lumpia at the Bowling alley. Some of the best on the Island. Fantastic times!

Henry Carr		28-Apr-2012 08:36
Lived on Guam 1950 to 1957 starting in Agat Village then Tenjo Vista housing. Attended Adelupe Elementary and then Agana Jr High. My Mom taught at Adelupe (second grade?). I remember Pat Hullett (spelling?) from Jr. High. Spent much time at Hoover Park USO Club in that incredible water and eating those cheap hamburgers. The chief lifeguard Lou ? taught me how to swim. Also spent many evenings in the outdoor movie theatres at Navy Base and at Camp Asan. We went even when it rained. Running down the street behind Smokey Joe ... hiking up on Mt Tenjo and camping at night on top in the tradewinds. The trip over on USNS Aultman and walking the deck at night in the moonlight. Looking back it was a wonderful experience and could not be duplicated today. Does anyone remember these things?

Vicki		24-Apr-2012 12:56
Kathlene...we were there at the same time. I don't remember cliffs. I know our house was a 2 story duplex and some were 1 story. We lived directly across from the quonset huts on the base...right along the main street. Lizard eggs..I remember those well....Even took one thinking I could hatch it in the warm pantry. and I remember how many poor lizards lost their tails thanks to us kids. and.. The ocean was so clear. You could see the ocean floor and all the critters. The sea shells were beautiful. Coconuts! I loved the coconut milk and eating it raw right then. (but you had to find someone to open it for you). good time!

Kathleen		18-Apr-2012 22:58
Vicky.. We have nearly the same story. Came over on a ship with Mother and sister..bro. born on Guam 1953. We lived in the quonsets until ' as we called it "permanent housing" was available. We lived all the way on the back row back near the cliffs. I remember the ice cream man with that bell and old Smoking... for the bugs. The lizards laying eggs on my window sill. Loved the school . Adelupe sic?.. we left in 1955.. didn't want to leave but we have been there 3 1/2 yrs. unheard of in those days. I think they were afraid we were going Native. We loved that Island like air itself. Kathleen E. Kanicki

Vicki		13-Apr-2012 21:30
Hello, my name is Vicki. I go way back. I lived in Agana,Guam from 1953 to 1956. I was five years old when we first arrived on the ship with my mom, sister and brother and dad waiting for us on the dock. My dad was in the navy. We first lived in a quonset hut I say the jungle until the base homes were built. School was quonset huts. I remember the Bar-b-ques at the beach and the roasting of the pig. I remember the pigs and chickens running wild in our neighborhood at our first home in the jungle. I remember the typhoons that ripped down the palm trees. Being that young you have know clue how small that island is. I have home movies of there and black and white photos. I have fond memories. We weren't there long enough to see grass grow in our yard..it was all dirt. It's a story to tell and I love telling it.

I lived on Guam in 58-59, graduated from GW HS in 59. My father was career Navy. He was on the Adm's staff, we lived on Flag Circle. The views were incredible, the sunsets, the flowers along the edge of the cliff. My mother, sisters and I made leis all the time for people arriving and leaving. I left after HS graduation to go to college. My family stayed on for another year. Just recently was going over some old slides with my younger sister who was visiting. They brought back so many memories of our parents and the time when we were all together as a family.

Guest		12-Apr-2012 21:27
My dad was career Navy, I graduated from GW HS in '59, returned to the States to go to college. My family remained on Guam for another 18 mons. We lived on Nimitz Hill, Flag Circle...think it was #5. Our quarters had been Adm. Spruance's during WWII, Mimitz's quarters were next door. I was very anxious to return to the States the whole time I was there but recently have been going over some of my dad's old slides and realizing how beautiful it was there. Interesting to read these postings. I think our quarters were blown away by a typhoon at some point. Would love to find some pictures of Flag Circle.....

I lived in Guam in the early 70s. I think it was 1973, I was in third grade and the school bus that I was on hit a young girl that was on her bike. I never found out if she survived or not. Does anyone know of what happened to her? I would like to know.

Is there anyone out there who remembers a Typhoon that was close to or hit Guam in July or September of 1968 and caused the military assigned to tent city to be evacuated to various areas returning in 3-5 days after all clear was given. A friend was stationed there, and evacuated to Da Nang for approx three days and then returned to Guam.

Edie		18-Mar-2012 13:49

I was stationed at NAS Agana , Guam from 1972-1974. I was a Navy Air Traffic Controller. We also flew air crew on the NAS Agana C-121 VV659. I lived on base for a few months then moved to Dededo. Our house was right under the ILS to AAFB so we got the Arc Light B-52's flying about 1000 feet over us returning from Vietnam bombing mission. I moved to Tuming then to Mangilao. We did lot s of SCUBA diving and traveled to all of the Micronesion Islands. Best memories are the beaches, Pirates Cove, Guamanian BarBQ, Tank Traps, CoCo's Island, Utmatac Inarajan and Talafofo Falls. Worst experience was Operation Linebacker and the C-130 crash on base.

I was stationed at Andersen AFB, 605th MASSq/Air Freight, '66-'67.Remember Marbo barracks, Marbo cave where you could go in and swim in the cave. Remember the Pink Pussycat Bar, Agana Heights ? Miss the great weather and the Guamanian food.Rosario and Chrisostomo,two Guamanians who worked in Air Freight with us and would bring star apples and even seasoned bat to work for a snack.Also watch out for the cocanut crabs. Hey,Woody,Hill,and Sgt.Pharr We worked six days a week, year around on base. I got on Air Force One when President Johnson stopped on the Island for two days. Went in ( for 5 minutes)with Sgt. Pharr and carried out the trash...what a great memory.Also did the report that got rid of Benoit,the pyromaniac in the barracks. Your welcome,guys. Remember Guam Bombs (cars) Honda 90's, and Lucky Lager beer(yuk).Loved Guamanian food. Marinated and bar-b-que chicken is the best in the world.Also their bar-b-qued fish dinners.Hafa Adai, Guam Is Good.

Guest		28-Apr-2011 01:29
I lived on Guam during Jr. High School (Dededo Village) 1968-69. My parents taught school there on a contract. I spent a lot of time on Anderson AFB (my Dad being retired military). My favorite memories are the teen club dances,outdoor movies at the Super Fort sitting under plastic while it rained, parties on the beach and the Burlington Express (local, awesome band!) I loved to go snorkeling in the bay. Your photos are awesome but I'll have to agree with other comments - times have changed! If any of my old buddies are 'out there' PLEASE post a comment and I'll check back - love to re-connect! (Becky,Vicki, Catherine,Dave,Jon ????) Guam and life on Guam is a very pleasant memory in my memory bank! Thanks for taking me down memory lane!

Freda Noble		27-Apr-2011 05:19
HI, we lived in Dededo Village from 1967 to 1969. My husband taught at George Washington Hi and I taught at Dededo Junior High and in the Adult School at Dededo. This was a very special time for us. Our children made life-long friends and memories to keep forever. I would like so much to hear from one of my students. Our time there was before McDonald's, tall hotels, buses around the island, a mall. We were there for almost a year before we had driven around the island...so much to do. Freda Noble

Deb Phillips		19-Apr-2011 05:01
My dad was stationed at Anderson AFB on Guam from 1969-1970. I went to Dededo Junior High as did my brother Steve and sister Cheryl. Not sure what school little brother Jim went to. My best friend was Teresa Grimes. I have great memories of that one year there. The outdoor movies, the teen club, pool, Bob Hope Show and seeing Connie Stevens! The beach, the sun ...such a beautiful place. Would love to go back for a visit.

Sandra		03-Mar-2011 01:03
I was in a Navy family and we lived on Guam twice. The first time we lived temporarily at the Cliff Hotel while waiting for military housing. What a great place that was..loved the Red Carpet restaurant. Then we lived on the base in North Tipoleo (sp?) housing..that was in '68 and '69. The second time, we lived in Toto (David Mantanonya and David Bonqiao were neighbors.. cute guys ;)). Love the island and remember eating sticky rice cake at the Panciteria. I went to New Piti school and I remember swimming at Gab Gab beach. Loved Inarajan and remember Oh and a great day was when I discovered lumpia (YUMMY!) at a fiesta and also remember when the McDonald's came to Guam; boy people couldn't get enough of those fries! Then there was the fresh water cave and Mt. Lam Lam (sp?). I have fond memories of Guam.

Sunny		02-Mar-2011 00:29
I lived on Guam from 1955 to 1959. My dad was Civil Service for he Navy and we lived most of the time in the Pan Am Housing area on Nimitz Hill. I spent all my time at the pool, the new teen club and the library on the Hill. I went to Agana Jr. High School and absolutely remember the Big Typhoon, the outdoor Theatre, Hoover Beach, Talafofo Falls, all the wonderful Fiestas in the individual towns. Have only seen one person from school in all these years, met her at Grand Reunion in Dallas 1990. Her name was Dinah Borror and her older brother was a Science Teacher at the school during those days. He was Daniel Ross Borror. I have been trying to find Stephanie Crowell, Bill Moss and Candy Moss if anyone remembers them or knows where they are please let me know. My email is khsdragon@aol.com. LOVE LOVE LOVE GUAM - the most beautiful place in the world.

Responding to comment: Guest dated25-Jul-2010 My name Frank Bakos I was an AF Air Traffic Controller at AAFB during 57-58 I also remember OPhelia a terrible typhoon, in the days before it approached I was involved in getting all aircraft that could fly off and to a safer place. After that my team and I grabbed the C-ration and coffee pot and had to slide down the outside stairway during heavy winds couldn't walk or step slide down on our butts a step at a time, very scary. Then we lived in the parachute packing building below for 3 days. Some months prior to that event I was called by my NCOIC and asked if I could to get 2 or 3 guys and proceed with him down to Agana navel base to meet a ship that was bringing in a pilot, wife and family who were to live at AAFB. When we arrived and after a short while an AF Capt. and his family got of the boat, we greeted them and took them up to AAFB. I remember ther were 2 or 3 girls in the family, we got them to AAFB moved them in and left. Months later I was on duty in the Tower and I remember the B50 taking off to track Ophelia and days later when I went over to that sqdn. barracks to talk to 2 friend that I played ball with the Andersen Bombers I was told they went down with the aircraft during the storm, very sad. Some time later I also was told that it was thought to have been the Capt. and family that I helped move in. After this all took place and 50+ years later I read your comments and wondered if you were the family of Capt.Marcus G. Miller. My name is Frank Bakos, I live in Linwood, N.J.-Tele 609-653-1428 I will be visitying Guam Apr.and May of 2011

I miss Guam...there from 2000-2003 and belonged to a halau "Ohana Me Ke Aloha". We loved being a part of this family and Guam. It would be fun to go back to see the changes and see our friends once again.

My Father was Air Force and we were staioned in Guam 72 to 74. I have such wonderful memories of the Island and I miss it so very much. I went to school in Yigo and remember attending school with a Geneva Faucett and Kellis Leon-Guerrero. Geneva and I would explore in the Jungle. I remember that there was a place deep in the Jungle that was a cemetary, with stucture that I remember resembled praying hands. Small pictures of the person buried and offerings were placed on the grave. There were also what I think was Japanese baths, that vines hung over. I can go back like it was yesterday, my Husband and Friends often say " Oh Not Another Guam Story"..I Live in Oregon now and its Beautiful but nothing will ever compare to our time on Guam. Everything that I remember was truley an awesome experience for a kid. The Beaches, the People, the Fiestas, the reefs, the Island..I MISS GUAM!!!!

I lived at 52 Turner Rd, Nimitz Hill 1961-63. I went to Piti Elementary School; 4th & 5th grade. I remember Typhoon Karen vividly. Our roof came off and the car beind our house ended up down the street. No ater, power, or school for a long time. My dad, Cdr Roy Nickson was with the Supply Corps. We swam at the outdoor pool near the Top of the Mar everyday during summer and went to the outdoor theater every night. We always took ponchos in case it rained....there was never enough room under "The Shelter" to prtect everyone. The "Smokey Joe" jeep came around every night and we played in the thick clouds of insect repellent or DDT. I can still remember the smell of it!

Peter Cornwell		17-Sep-2010 02:30
stationes from Jan 1966 til july 1967 at Anderson Air Force. Lived out of base a few miles from base in a compound with four baracks. Loved the island and its people, and tookmay pictures. Dates a wonderfull girl fromthe village of Talafofo. I wonder what ever happend to her . Her name was Leila Quichocho. Her grandmother would try to teach me the chamorro language.

Ken Griswold, SMSgt (Ret), Guam 71-73 Knew "Mac" McReynolds well, was good friends with him, spent many a great time at cook-outs at EOD Beach on Base and also at the base Top Three Club. The good times kinda fell apart when Linebacker II started with the B-52's. Watched from the Headquarters Bldg. shortly after the Christmas Hault in bombibg, 87 B-52's took off for North Vietnam, Took over 2 hours for all to take off, only 7 takeoff aborts. What a take off sight as history was made! Greatest strike force since WWII.

Buddy McReynolds		17-Aug-2010 14:22
Buddy McReynolds Father was stationed Anderson A.F.B 70' thru 73'. Myself and brother Jeff attended Dededo Jr. and J.F.K. Sr.. Other brother Mike graduated J.F.K. 70' and enlisted in the Air Force.For being a teenager Guam was like being a kid in the candy store, the fun never stopped. Through FaceBook there are now 18 of us from Guam who have reunited our friendships. Msgt. Foster if you have a daughter named Judy my brother use to date her.

Alice Braddy		06-Aug-2010 21:31
HAFA ADAI, My dad was career Navy! He was stationed at Naval Station the first tour around 61-62. Second tour was at Naval Air Station, 65-68. Third tour was also Naval Air Station, 69-73. I attended kindergarten on NAS in 65-66, 1st and 2nd at East Barrigada Elem. 66-68, 4th at Tamuning Elem., and 5th and 6th at P.C.Lujan (formerly East Barrigada). Anybody remember the Ben Franklin's Five and Dime? A & W? Orange Julius? Tank Traps in Tamuning near the bay? Talafofo Falls? Cocos Island? The Panciteria? Getting shots at the Naval Hospital on Nimitz Hill? The little Guam Museum downtown? I could go on and on - there are so many things to remember. Have tried to find an old friend Dawn Cross that lived at 31 Lada Ave in Dededo in the early 70's. I believe her father's name was Jack. Her dad was white and her mother may have been Japanese. I would love to hear from anybody that was around in those years...

Guest		31-Jul-2010 22:04
We lived on.. Guam for three glorious years. When Typhoon Ophelia got near Guam my father and nine other men in a typhoon chaser went out and never returned. It was Jan. 1958. My father was Captain Macus G. Miller. Always a hero in my eyes. In spite of this devestating loss my love for the island of Guam has never waned.I swore one day I would return but now am 63 and will probably never make it so I am really enjoying the pictures.

I was stationed at Andersen AFB first in ARC LIGHT SEPT 1968 from WESTOVER AFB till March 1969 189 days and then returned in Sept 1969 to MAY 1971 PCS and then back again in May 1976 to June 1978 for Typhoon Pamela. I worked on and off base with the SUPPLY SQUADRON Fuels Division and prepared, mixed and sprayed AGENT ORANGE HERICIDES ALL OVER THE PLACE ON SECURITY FENCES, ON FUEL SYSTEMS, CROSS COUNTRY PIPELINES. I DID THIS PRACTICALLY THE ENTIRE TIME THERE. THE AIR FORCE DENIES IT AND THE DEPT OF DEFENSE. THE VA DENIES IT AND SO DOES CONGRESS. I KNOW THE TRUTH THOUGH AND HAVE DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE OTHERWISE.

Ron		17-Apr-2010 19:49
Super pics! My Dad was FAA and we got to Guam about a month before Typhoon Karen. I was a Sr. in HS and went to Tumon High and am a 63 Grad. The Typhoon knocked down GWH and we went to class for the rest of the year on half days, split with the kids of George Washington. The pictures I have of Guam show a very different place. The Tumon district only had one main department store and a couple of other places. We use to hang at the A&W Root Beer. I loved Guam. My brother Larry is a 65 grad of JFK and my baby sister Pam was born there in 1965. I went in the Navy in 63 and the family remained there until 1969 before moving back to Hawaii.

Guest		06-Apr-2010 22:10
I love Guam. My father was stationed at AAFB from 69-71. I have very fond memories of tarague beach, the pool, NCO club where I would have Shirley Temples. Although I love gourmet food, I think I could still eat a hamburger at the beach with the dehydrated onions. We would have parties in the cave and eat lobster and eel that was caught that evening and cooked on the grill. I've been to Hawaii and was very disappointed - no comparison - although I know things have changed. Would love to take a trip down memory lane. Carol Belliveau

Doug		04-Apr-2010 04:30
I have lived on Guam twice. First time my dad was stationed there was 1962-1965. I remember the horrendous typhoon that tore across the island. I was 9yrs old when we left. Then again in 1971 my Dad's squadron was moved there from Japan. I loved it. The sun, the pools, the beaches. The jungle. My friends, Chamorro and non-chamorro Highs chool (JFK) was tough. Pretty violent and lots of drugs but outside of school was a blast! I want to travel back there one more time before I leave this earth. I have no desire to take my wife of 28yrs to HI but to Guam? Absolutely!

Mary Walker Gough		11-Mar-2010 22:32
My family and I lived on Saipan from 1947-1950 and on Guam from 1953-55. I attended Adelupe Pt Elementary School, and she attended Agana Jr. High. My sister and I visited in 2008 and again in February 2010. On the second visit, we were reunited with several classmates from those schools. It was great! The island has changed greatly over the years, but it is still a beautiful place. Chamorro hospitality cannot be beat, not even here in the South!

Ann Carter Walker Smith		11-Mar-2010 22:04
Hi, Guam lovers! I am one, too! My family lived at Mt. Tenjo from 1953-55, as our dad was working for the Navy Civil Service as an engineer. I attended Agana Junior High School and had friends there, as well as at george Washington H.S., Our Lady of Guam, and Father Duenas. Now, get this: Two years ago my sister Mary (Adelup Point School) and I went back after 53 years, and we did it again this February! Ya'll, please do go back if you can. Yes, many things have changed but if you go around the island you will still see some things you remember! One of my sister's classmates, Lupe Guamataotao Perez, was there at the airport to meet us along with other classmates of ours (Lupe arranged it). We are having such a great time reconnecting with old friends! They are the BEST!!!! Hafa Adai, Friends, and Rock On!

Guest		20-Feb-2010 00:28
Hi, my grandmother on my fathers side was born and raised in guam, she met my grandfather when he was in the air force and im assuming stationed there. i dont really know alot about that side of the family but sure am trying to find out more. guam looks like a beautiful place, i hope that one day i will have the money to come and see where part of my heritage comes from, and teach my own children about it as well.

Sylvia Duke		18-Feb-2010 18:28
I lived in Guam from Jan. 1949 - Jan. 1951 while my father (LT JG Richard W. Tripp) was stationed at Radio Barrigada. Although I was only 9 - 11 yrs old, I have wonderful memories and had always hoped to go back. Now I am going back through my memories and writing about Guam in my retirement years. I would love to be in touch with someone who lived there with that the time range I was there, give or take 10 years, to verify or fill in forgottne details.

Charles Marchesani		30-Jan-2010 13:02
DENNIS i was stationed at the naval comm station from jan,1966 to aug.1967... i use to go the the pirates den,i don't remember where it was located on the island.There are a lot of us servicemen that were stationed there that are suffering from the effects of agent orange and the contaminants in the drinking water...see val sandersons thread on the net.But that being said it was a beautiful island,very fond memories of the island and the wonderful people of Guam...hafa

Orvin Dove		26-Jan-2010 14:28
I was a young lad of 17 and was stationed on Guam in 1952-1954 at the Naval Station...I was in the S.P's patroling the Island... also assinged to the Naval supply depot and cold storage Div....there were nothing but Quansit Huts at that time altho there was Barracks that we lived in, the Barracks I was assigned to was next to the Marines Barracks that had a Jap suicide sub displayed on the front lawn in front of the Barracks....in those times i was mostly "business" as it was during the Korean War and we had our minds on that..Guam was a beautiful place but being young and away from home during that time took away all the beauty that it had to offer..we had what is called "cinderella Liberty" (had to be back on base before 12;00 mid-nite when you went on Liberty, except for special permission)....there was no place to go on Guam at that time on Liberty but to the beach, E.M club or a little "gin mill" out side the gates which there were only a few of at that time...it is sad to say my memories of Guam was one oe of loneliness and confussion as was the case for many of us young men ...altho the Guamanians are a beautiful people they frowned on their daughters mingleing whith the service men, they were very stick and religous but very friendly....I am 75 now and it is a vauge memory that I have of my time there ???....Guam was a beautiful place, shame I had to be there under such trying times....

i lived in guam for more than 30 years and loved it. I now live in washington state. I missed guam especially on cold weather days. I'd love to go back. Maybe someday i will and stay for good. I don't think i want to be old and cold so guam is definitely the place for me someday.

Guest		16-Sep-2009 16:25

I am trying to get email address for the fire stations on the Island of Rota but not having any luck so if any one could help I'd really appreciate it, we here in the states are trying to Publish pictures of all the fire stations and fire fighters on guam in a web-site here to commend them for their work, we already have pictures from Guam and Siapan but we don't want to leave our fellow brothers and sister out in Rota. Once we are done with all this work we are going to have a big time major festival there in Guam to commend all the firefighters on all Islands and everyone is welcome to attend, you will start to see the signs around August of 2009 so please help me get the email address for all the fire stations in Rota so I can contact them for pictures, have a great day.

The island was taken over from Spain by the United States during the Spanish American War in 1898. The same as the Marianas Islands, Puerto Rico, Philippines and Cuba. The last two got their independence, the others have never been past being colonies or Unincorporated organized territories. All comments here are of people who truly love Guam and I was wondering what is their opinion about that.

Clair		12-Mar-2009 21:12
This is a response for Char. The village of mong mong is still there. It's probably alot less boondocks as you remember! You probably attended Santa Barbara Catholic School being that your hat read SBS and was red and white. Those are still the school uniform colors! Nice to know that although so much has changed around the island, some remains the same!

Char		19-Feb-2009 23:33
I was 7 years old when my father was stationed in Guam. That was in 1956. I had lived in a village called mong mong village. Is it totally gone? The boon docks were our back yard and the tales that were told to me by the villagers have never left my memories. I also remember going to a catholic school and wearing a red and white hat with SBS on it. Does anyone have knowledge of these things? My baby sister is buried on the naval base. Char

Pam Dasher		02-Dec-2008 18:42
Wow I lived in Guam in 1954 and started school there. I can not believe the pictures. I loved the time in Guam, the friends in Guam. But our little huts from 1954 are far removed from life there now! My stepfather Lou was born in HI would never believe the photos! Thank you so very much.

rosie		29-Jul-2008 16:59
I love these pictures , thanks for posting this site up. It's been about 8months when I left Guam. It brings back some great memories that I had. Well Guam would always be my beautiful home. And would make the best vacation for anybody who loves the island style. The hospitality and they fantastic taste of foods you could try. Variety of things to do there I would promise that you would enjoy Guam and what it offers...One place you'll never forget.. Thanks again.

Ralph Esparza		03-Jul-2008 07:38
I lived in Guam for 18 months. My Dad was stationed at Anderson AirForce Base 1960-1961. Have many fond memories. I was 7 years old at that time. I would love to talk to someone who was there around that time. Looking on a map trying to find the street where we lived. Not sure of the spelling "Palau Lau?" Would love to hear from anyone who might know the proper spelling and the location.

I love the pics, I was in the navy and stationed in Guam from Dec 1997 to 2000. I got to expierence the big taphoon paka. I miss guam soo much, that was my very first duty station so the friends I made there became like my family, now live in atlanta, GA and crazy to go back someday, I tell everyone about Guam and how beautiful it is, I can still taste that food..mmmm the best and then there was marty's mexican restaurant... is it still there? I used to go there once a week for salsa dancing, it was sooo much fun and then sleeping on the beach and waking up to the ocean waves...wow, well i can go on and on but got to go oh did i forget to mention the chamorro guy that i went out a couple of times, if anyone knows him i would love to hear from him, all i know is that his name is daniel palomo and is a great soccer player and he is probably about 31yrs old right now, would love to hear from him, thanks again for the beautiful pics.

Jackie Thompson		29-Mar-2008 19:02
Our family lived on Guam too short of time from July 1997-June 1999. Mark worked for Amana at that time and was their SE Asian Sales Manager. I briefly worked for Otis Elevator and then for First Savings and Loan. We loved the people of Guam the beauty of Guam and miss it so much. We all made great friends and would love to return for a visit. Our son James (who won many youth 5K's in Guam)just joined the NAVY, so we're hoping (So is he)that he is assigned to Guam some time! We now live in Missouri and Mark is writing an article for a local Magazine about Guam. In his research, we really began missing all that Guam has to offer. I need to keep working on him to start planning a trip!!

Dennis		12-Mar-2008 20:06
I should have mentioned in yesterdays message, I was also fortunate enough to see two Bob Hope Christmas shows on Guam during 1966 and 1967 while in the Navy. We sailors were mad because the Air Force pilots got the front row seats. A beautiful and wonderful island. I think about it often. Thanks for the great pictures.

Dennis		11-Mar-2008 18:17
I served in the US Navy and was stationed on Guam from late 1966 to mid 1968. I loved it and have often thought of a return trip. The closest I got was Hawaii in 1996 on my 25th wedding anniversary. I loved the pictures and its difficult to believe the changes. I was searching for a beach at Anderson Air Force Base that I used to ride my motorcycle to and spend many long hours swimming there. Great site. Thank you. If you wish to visit my site at www.honorrollofliberty.com it shows monuments and memorials to American servicemen from Massachusetts. Thanks, Dennis

Zachary Ninete		09-Mar-2008 02:59
Good job with the pictures! makes me realize how much I took Guam for granted... I guess you would never know how much you had left behind till you look back...I MISS GUAM...SNIFF SNIFF

Jordan McSwain		18-Feb-2008 09:04
I lived on Guam from 1968 to 1973. My father worked for Boeing and worked on Anderson Air Force Base. I was 3 when we got there and 8 when we left. Even though I was very young I have vivid memories of our time there. I remember our neighbors in Dededo were the Galimbas. I had a huge crush on Florence and I rememember her brother David. When they tore down their house to rebuild it had walls full of honey bees. Some day I will return to Guam to find our old house ( unless a typhon destroyed it). My father used to take us to Talafofo Falls, Tamuning, Gun Beach, Pati Point & all kinds of places. I went to Maria Ujoa Elentary School ( I'm sure I spelled it wrong.)Oh I also remember the Galimbas oldest sister, Agnes, she was very nice. My brother and my cousin accidently hit her in the stomach with a baseball bat while they were fighting over it and she tried to break it up. I am always trying to find pictures of Guam especially Dededo. We lived not to far from the Central Park. I think it was the first street past the fire station. You would take a left turn, go past the store and our house was right before the Galimbas where the road started to curve to the right. There was a Qancet hut behind the Galimbas house. Right behind us lived acuople of cute Guamanian girls, I think their names were Marcy & Karen. The Flores family lived next to them. Their dad drove a school bus and we used to ride their mini-bike. They moved to the mainland in about 1972. Los Angelos or San Jose I think. Well I hope I will see some of my old friends on Guam again someday. I am just turning 43 so I better start planning a trip soon. Hafa Dai !!

I was living on Guam with my ex hysband & children from 1976-1982. We added 2 children to our family there and buried one in Piti Naval Cemetary when he passed away from a severe birth defect when he was 11 months old. I think of Guam almost every time & reminise with my children. I still go there in my mind when I sress out - I put myself on Tarague beach on AAFB. All my children left their footprints when we were transferred. Guam for us was a garden of paradise. I long to go back. The pictures listed here show alot more resort, which I am so sad to see. I've heard that there are no longer birds there, what a shame. I do remember the rat snakes! I loved to go to 2 lovers leap and listen to the fairy terns as they threw themselves of the cliff and "laughed" as they swooped up. Is there still a Pizza Hut there? We adopted a stray cat that we found in the dumpster there. Such wonderful memories. We were transferred to Alaska from there- another place I have such wonderful memories of. Then we were transferred to Arizona for some health reasons, & have lived here for 20 yrs. It isn't my place of choice, in fact I absolutely hate it! The reason I stay is all my children are here, all my 6 wonderful grandkids are here, and health reasons. The heat in the summer in unbearable. Would love to receive E-mail from anyone who loves Guam! Hafa Dai! AAFB when aafb

Audrey		09-Jan-2008 02:17
We lived on Guam. There was shopping at Gibson's, Town House, and the American Store. The shopping center was under construction. The restaurants were great. Beautiful beaches the sand on each beach was a different color or had stones or shells. We lived on Condo Drive, Taumuning. The high rise was Alupang Cove. I wonder if it is still there. We swam, snorkeled and had some of the best days of our lives. We attnded the Guam Lutheran Church. We would love to visit Guam again. People are the greatest.

Guest		01-Jan-2008 02:40
Hafa adai!! Wow, thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures of Guam with us. I was born in Tamuning in '73 but moved to the mainland eleven years later. Those brief moments that I remember as a kid were heaven. I remember fishing off Agana or Hagatna bay, going to Ypao Beach (don't think it's called that anymore) every Saturday, Talofofo Falls, Two Lovers Point, seeing Pope John Paul II visit the island back in '81, visiting nearby Coco's Island with my 2nd grade class, and the local mom-n-pop stores. Those were the memories. Looks like they did quite a renovation at the Tumon Shopping area, it's very nice. I don't recall that shopping center. Anyway, thanks again, and I hope to go back again to the island of Guam!

Guest		27-Dec-2007 23:11
DOTTIE I lived in GUAM FROM 1980-84. The island was beautiful.My 2nd child named James was born right there at the naval hosp.I would go back and visit in aheart beat.

I am a Leon-Guerrero, part of the great line of people from this beautiful island. I was born and raised there and it's in my blood. I married a military man and now reside in the states. I would give anything to be back there, to eat the food, go to my village fiesta, "Biba Santa Rita!" Ai Adai I didn't forget Dededo! Hey Chelu's! Guam is magnificent, and I miss my family. Some of the most gorgeous people on earth hail from Guam

I spent two tours in the Navy on Guam at ComNavMarinas. I was too young to appreciate the island. Your pictures are great, but I cannot believe how Guam has grown since I was there. I was on the island twice in the 1950's and it was a sleepy, peaceful wonderful place to be. It still looks beautiful and I would like to see it again, However the peace and quite I knew is probably long gone. A shopping Mall? Unheard of when I was there, nightclubs - no way. Sears was in a little shack and there were a few clubs Navy Personnel went to but nothing like I saw in your beautiful photos. Thanks for the views.

For 34 years of my life I always wanted to leave our little island and make something of myself. Now, i am in the Army stationed in Korea. And i am missing home so much I never realized the impact it would have on me. I guess when you leave a place that you call home, you really miss it alot. The pictures you took makes me want to come home. Thank you for them.

i grew up on guam almost my whole life but then moved to washington in 2006 and then californa this year but it brings alot of memories of what me and my family did there before we left. But i think guam is better than these two states i've been in. i love all the pictures there in guam. Since the people out here don't know where guams at i'll show them were it's at and how beautiful it is i'll show it off to people i know.

Guam is the best place i've ever spent my life because it has great places to go and see.i have great relatives around there but i moved to washington 2006 and 2007 in california. but i think guam is better than these 50 states.

I'm Chamorro Hawaiian, but raised in Hawaii. I had no idea how beautiful Guam is. Surprised to also see a lot of Hawaii and Polynesian influence there. Mahalo for showing me a piece of my heritage. I will definetely have to visit some day.

I lived on Guam for fifteen glorious years and have been back in the states for three. I have found that my heart is still on Guam. I miss the people and the island life very much. Loved the pictures, did a lot of diving and would love to return someday. Jim Taylor

Hi there, I have been through many sites displaying pictures of Guam. But I have not seen any of Pagat Caves or cliff side or Marbo caves. YOu have got to grab a local to take you to these places they are amazing!! I know of another place that hasn't been mentioned is Hanam beach! It's privately owned maybe that's why but if you ever go back to Guam, you have to check these places out. To get to Hanam, you have got to have a 4'4 or use you leg's, but it's really steep and yes you are hiking down a mountain. It will take bout 45- to hour to get there, but it's worth it. I have been down there, in the night with friends , it was scary cause there is no lighting. If you ever get to go to Guam again I will find out the name of the family who own it, and maybe they will allow you to go down. I don't see there being a problem , it's located in Yigo. Anyhow bye
