I was a seventh grade student living at BPM Camp #1, 48 Palm circle, from late 1952 to 155. I attended school at Camp Bright and Washington High School up the hill from Agana. Living in Guam is one of the brightest spots of my life. My name is James Wilson, my dad was Chief Timekeeper for BPM. MY mother worked at the BX at Apra Harbor I and my mates had many adventures roaming around Guam.

I was the NCO Of The Day at Andersen AFB Jul 71 to Oct 72. TSgt James G. Cornett. Worked for Major AuClair in the Director of Administration Office. Loved Guam. I was single then, and had a good time driving around the island, going to parties, Christenings, birthdays, and fiestas. I briefed all the NCOD's coming on duty at night, and some of you might remember me. I wrote a chapter in my Memoirs about my time on Guam. I had some friends there who used to write me, and I'd like to hear from them again. Especially Francis Yoshida. I'd like to know how little Margaret turned out.

My family was stationed at Andersen AFB in 1962-1964. My father was an officer with the 1958th Comm. Sq. (AFCS). We lived at 1464 Marianas Blvd. in the base Capehart housing. I'm looking up old neighbors I used to dive with. I've been successful but with the following exceptions: Mike Berg and Emory Allen Mikell. Both persons would be in their 70's. Anyone knowing the location of these two persons please contact me at wcarah@livingonline.com. Thanks

Was on Guam 1947-1949. Attended Adelup Point Elementary (8th grade) and GWHS (9th through 10th grades). At that time GWHS was a series of Quonset huts located in Sinajana village with classes divided into two sessions. I was in the AM session. Dad was a government employee with the Army Corps of Engineers and we lived in housing built by the engineers for their eligible personnel in an area called Marbo Gumas. The housing area site was carved out of the jungle and self sustained with its own water, electricity, motor pool, carpentry shop, refrigeration (ice making plant) etc. Across the road was a Quartermaster laundry and an outdoor storage yard with rotting cartons of rations, beer and other material. Down the road toward Marine Drive the Filipino scouts had their encampment while behind us there was a scrap yard of military equipment which was destined for nationalist China. Remember sneaking into the yard on several occasions and bringing back parts which enabled me to assemble a complete bike. I believe I can discern the footprint of our area on Google Maps. One day while exploring toward the cliffs with a classmate we came upon a freshwater cave and evidence of human activity i.e. empty bottles (sake ?), bits of leather etc. The second trip back we brought candles and set them up in the cave while swimming around. The third time back we discovered the candles were missing. We were suddenly reminded of the possibility of Japanese holdouts and got the h--- out of there never to return. I suspect that cave is now known as Marbo Caves. During that time frame War Crime Trials were going on and executions carried out. Great memories of my time on Guam. Shooting at sharks from the Cliffs, swimming at Tarague when you needed a permit and 4 wheel drive to get there, Tumon Bay when the only structure there was a shack selling cokes, boxing matches in Agana between the services, outdoor movies in the rain with your trusty poncho, the ease of getting around by simply hitchhiking, Boys Athletic Association founded by Commander (Chaplain) Ditmar and the fine classmates I was fortunate to have (the Barney Twins, Callaway, Strellis, Vining, Mulligan, Hall, Jackson, Harmon et al) The best teen years of my life, now age 84.

Read many things that brought back memories. My father was stationed on Andersen 62-63 and from there we went to Amarillo. I've been looking for Nan Lewis, Daughter of Col. Charles D. Lewis, (I think he was base commander maybe)...but I was supposed to marry her when we got old. But..You know how life goes. Thing is, I've been searching for her for all these years. I'm now 64. Had a wonderful time as a kid there, we found lots of Japanese war items, machine gun nest, so forth...and my oldest sister eloped there and married Tony Blas. A Guamanian...Nan actually came to Amarillo one time just passing through, and was unable to find me even tho people told me she had been there looking for me. If anyone knows what happened to Col. Lewis's family, I would appreciate an email..tcttobias@gmail.com Would like to find her before I die if possible...Marbo falls, shark point, man do I remember all those wonderful places!

I was stationed at NavComSta from 70-71. Played football for the Bluedevils. We practiced at 7am because of the heat. The whole team would spread out and walk the field before practice to pick up any pieces of coral to cut down on coral cuts. Used this foaming spray to stop possible infections.Great memories. Only two of us on the team from Hawaii. Any players or coaches out there from that team want to share memories. Bobby E. Drayer bobbyed143@yahoo.com

Charlie		26-Feb-2017 04:49
Sailed on George Goethals from SFO to Guam, crossing the IDL. Lived in New Tipalao during 1956-58, as Naval dependent, age 15-17. Went to quonset-huts high school GWHS, when not at beach near Agana or at off-limits food shack. Hitch-hiked around island and swam at naval and air force pools (af had a 50 ft olympic diving board) and many beaches, including Gab Gab. Set pins and also bowled at naval bowling alley. At nights went to Nimitz Hill and outdoor movies a lot. No hotels then and only military airports. Friends included Don B, Dave H, Bill B (49 mercury), twins Dottie & Helen M. Pat V....... Lots of good memories. Great pictures, thanks.

Guest I was stationed at NAVMAG from 1965 to 1967. I was one of very few SEABEES on the island at that time. We hauled bombs from Hotel pier to Andersen AFB to load on B-52's. I was also a crane operator. They would get me out of bed in the middle of the night to go out on a pick in an emergency. Guam was one of the best duties I ever had. Lots of history there. After that I went to Vietnam. Does anyone know whatever happened to a GMG2 named Wingate? He was a bomb hauler, too. I retired in '93 as a Master Chief.

Rich Wegner		20-Feb-2017 22:12
I was station at the Naval Magazine from May '67 to Sept '69. I was an EO2 Seabee who drove bombs from Hotel Wharf to Anderson AFB. If you were there during this time, I'd enjoy hearing from you. Some of us have been getting together for a reunion.

Jill King Covington		13-Feb-2017 16:05
I was born in Guam in 1952. My father John E King USSC was stationed there with my mother and 2 siblings that were 5 and 9 years older than me. I have little information other than a news paper clipping of our family being shot at from a Japanese soldier hiding in a cave somewhere on the beach. I wish I had information of there hospital I was born in, where did my family possibly live, and what health issues have been related to military men and their families. My father passed away in 1991 at there age of 67 from Lou Gehrigs disease..

Dave Linnell		11-Feb-2017 17:51
Dave Linnell & family, wife Marilyn kids Christopher & Tamara lived on Guam 1-71 to 6-77. I worked at Bank of America, serviced all of their office equipment in branches of Guam, Saipan, Truk & Majuro. We all loved Guam..and had a wonderful life there. I used to snorkel and collect the beautiful shells I found snorkeling at night when the shell animals came out. Marilyn did a lot of oil paintings while there. My son Chris would live there now if he could, he loved the beautiful black haired girls. Chris & Tammy both went to St. John Episcopal Church School. We felt it was best to return to California, S.F. bay area in 77 as Chris was starting high school in Sept. 77. We took it hard to see the property valves had increased substantially from 71 but able to buy a home for $53,ooo in Petaluma where Chris & his mom, Marilyn still live. I retired in 97 from BofA and now live in Rodeo Ca. with 2nd wife Susan whom I married in 97. Love you Guam USA!

They would get me out of bed in the middle of the night to go somewhere to run a crane in an emergency. I loved Guam. There was lots of history there. Does anyone know whatever happened to a GMG2 named Wingate? He drove bombs also.

Lived on Guam 1955-57 as the Brat of a Navy Captain. Went to 4th & 5th grades at Adaloop (?) Elementary School. As an Army Colonel serving as the Corps of Engineers Japan District Engineer/Commander, got to Guam several times as I did reimbursable A-E contract for military there. Also, when Typhoon Omar came through in about 1992 I sent some of my Engineers in to assist the Corps of Engineers disaster assistance efforts. Many fond memories of Guam.

RICH MC CLUNG		08-Jun-2016 04:06
Was on Guam 1957/58/59. My dad was in VW-1. We lived on the corner of J St and Central, across the street from the USCG nose dock at NAS. I went to Mongmong school for 6th, 7th and 8th grade. I really liked living there and remember all the fun times at the beaches and in the boonies. I was introduced to Ham radio on Guam and made communications my vocation and avocation.

Guest		22-Apr-2016 20:02
I was a dependent on Guam from 1955 to 1961. My father was an engineer with the Navy and we lived in a Quonset hut for a year in Orote Point. I went to second grade at Adalupe Elementary and still remember the tall vertical louvered doors which could be opened to allow the breeze to blow through the classroom. We moved to new housing in Apra Heights after a yr and lived there at 13 Mt LamLam St for the remainder of our stay. I went to old Piti elementary as did the local chickens, who shared my desk, and then to New Piti. I loved Guam and have wonderful memories of USO beach in the pontoon, eating at Panceteria Far East and taking Aikido classes from Mr Iito and judo with Mr David Kalama for five yrs. My mom grew orchids and plumeria and made leis to greet and say good bye to those arriving and departing. Our fridge was always full of sweet smelling leis. She also taught commercial subjects at GWHS. I can't remember many of my teachers names but loved playing baseball and tetherball on the Piti playground. Guam was an amazing place to grow up. We did not plan to leave but while stateside one summer my Dad got a great transfer offer in Charleston SC so I never got to return to my beloved Guam. I hope to return with my kids one day; until then Guam lives vividly in my memory. Carol Varnado

Paul Weas		19-Apr-2016 05:08
My dad was stationed ther as an Air Force mechanic around 55 and 56. I was only three or four but remember a lot. Our first house was a Quonset hut before they built new base housing. There were still rusted tanks out in the boondocks and a rusted out two man sub up on one of the beaches. I remember the guard dog cemetery too. There was an outdoor movie theater where you sat on benches. One day my dad came home and they had issued him rolls of masking tape to tape up the glass windows because of the approaching typhoon. The typhoon blew down the screen of the movie theater.

W. Cary Geeslin		09-Apr-2016 00:46
I was stationed at Andersen on Guam 1969-1970 and I worked out at the MARBO Annex and was one of two guys that ran the MARS/Amateur Radio Station (KG6FAE). We ran thousands of radio phone patches from Guam back to the states as phone calls were very expensive. We lived in Tamuning and my wife worked as a secretary stenographer for the department of taxation, Government of Guam, her boss was a Mr. Chaco. I played lead guitar in a band while stationed there and it really helped us make ends meet as we were not there on an accompanied tour. I hear the place looks nothing like it did when we lived there. Many fond memories, and few that were not so fond.

Anyone reading here stationed on Guam in 1960-1961 in the USAF with 1958th AACS and also worked in Andersen Airways.

Amanda		18-Feb-2016 23:26
I'm looking for my birth father who's father (my grandfather) was stationed in Guam around 1950's to possibly 1970's. My fathers name was Greg Winn (not sure of spelling). He must have been Caucasian because I am lol. He had blonde hair. He's probably in his late 50's to early 60's now. Any help would be useful. Thanks! Amanda

Jan Proctor (my name then)		12-Feb-2016 04:39
I lived on Guam, in the village of Yona overlooking Ylig Bay, from 1953 to 1954. I remember reading a book titled, Robinson Crusoe, USN. He hid out in the boonies and radioed the incoming liberating troops as to where the Japanese were on the island. There was only one indoor theater on the island at that time, a quonset hut with a false front - in Agana, otherwise we sat outside with a poncho at the ready, as it usually rained a bit at 8 p.m. just as the outdoor movie on base was about to start. My husband was stationed at Anderson AFB, and I worked at Marbo AFB. Loved the weather, except when a typhoon came along, which it did twice while we were there, and we had to go to the telephone company building in the basement (with a lot of wires just overhead). It was more like a crawl space as you couldn't stand up straight. We did a lot of snorkeling, watching all the pretty fish.

Louise (Charron) Shoffner		05-Feb-2016 21:39
Hi everyone. Loved these pics, always love memories of my years in Guam. Moved there in 1965/66 and attended John F Kennedy H.S., class of '67. Married Mark Stolarski, his dad, Ed "Ski" was a sales manager for Ricky Bordallo when he owned the car dealership. Lived for awhile in a small house behind the local department store, the Townhouse, I believe. It was a beautiful little place with dark wood floors...I'm thinking maybe they were Koa. My landlady lived next door and I think her name was Mrs. Santos but don't remember for sure? There was a car rental place across the street where my ex and a friend Jack Jeffrey worked. I went on to work at RCA Overseas and Bank of Hawaii for a time before I settled on an airline career, starting with Pan Am and then for Continental Air Micronesia. Used to love riding dirt bikes and sailing our hobe cats in Apra harbor. My first daughter was born there at Guam Memorial Hospital in 1970. Names I remember are Peter Ada, Rose Sourgose, (Rose's folks owned the Italian restaurant with Chianti bottle candles),Jack and Carol Jeffrey, (Carol's folks owned the golf course back then),Greg and Ginger Diekman, Barbara Miles, Betty Stancil, Kathleen Nelligan, Rick Rada, Jacob Dou, Ben Seman, Lucy at Continental, Ben Limtiaco, and so many more wonderful folks.

Ken Bozeman. I lived on Guam from 1974-1977. Lived in the NCS housing area and worked at the aAir Force Wettengel Receiver site a mile from the house. Was 3/4mile from the ocean. Absolutely loved it there. Best place I have ever lived. Did a lot of hiking around the island. Would love to go back some day to visit.

Ross Johnson		28-Nov-2015 20:47
I was born on Guam in 1958, as my parents spent 16 years there(Apra Heights).My dad owned a Navy PT Boat refitted for commercial fishing. It was named the "Lilina II." I spent many hours as a child out at sea with the crew dodging huge waves and gaining a deep respect for the power of the ocean and very large fishy things. My home in Oregon now directly reflects the atmosphere of Guam as it is adorned with a nautical theme anywhere from nets hanging from the ceiling to converting my deck into a dock complete with pylons appropriately wrapped with rope. Tropical islands such as Guam can be very intoxicating.

Dave Maddy (Madog)		09-Nov-2015 13:33
I was stationed at the Naval Hospital from 78-81. I lived in off base housing on Govenors Hill! I worked in the neo-natal nursery. Guam was one of the most memorable memories to this date! The tropical climate was such a refreshing change. It would be great to here from anyone that worked in the hospital during this time period! Would love an email!

Hi, I'm helping an Air Force Veteran and looking for some information. Hoping someone here might be helpful to corroborate some information. He was stationed at Andersen from Sept 67-March 68. He was a fire protection specialist and was at times called upon to help unload wounded arriving from RVN who were taken to the Hospital and cared for there. The VA and Air Force are denying that he would have ever come into contact or been asked to assist in moving or unloading wounded. Looking for help corroborating his account that he was assigned to assist and at times unloaded wounded and/or that his MOS was or would have ever been involved in such a thing. Or anyone who was wounded and remembers AF Personnel assisting with unloading or transport in any way would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks in advance. I can be reached at cclemens@lawampm.com

I lived in the jungle of Chalon Pogo from 1957 - 59 and went to GW. Our Gym was an airplane hanger. My step-father was Navy and born on Guam, he is one the Uncangco family. I won a few dance contest, and was on KUAM as a teen-age dee Jay every Saturday. Friends of mine were called the "Calypso Joes" and sang around the island. Wonder what happened to George, Gill Barr, Tony, Virginia, Cepeda's etc, etc. My name was Sharon Rosel. I was looking for photos of the old GW. Thank you for this site. Brings back memories.

Pam O'Neil-Allen		19-Mar-2015 23:12
3/19/15 I lived on Guam from Aug 1969 to June 1971. My Dad was a Naval Officer stationed at NAS Agana. We lived at 416 W. Sunset Blvd (behind Charlie Corns house). I went to Barrigada Jr High for 7th and 8th grade along with my 3 sisters (Diane and Patti). My oldest sister Debbi graduated from JFK in 1970, and my two brothers Terry and Tim went to P.C. Lujan. I loved my Exploring Guam class at BJH with Mr Tishler, and English with Miss Hendrickson. Lots of field trips; boonie stomping to Talafofo Falls, and over night to Rota. Loved the many dances at the Teen Club (our friends played in the band), swimming at the base pool and the outdoor movie theater on base with our many dear friends. I met my first love on Guam; Glenn Amistad (his parents owned Metropolitan Press, and Polly's Fabric Store). The beaches were beautiful. The water so warm and serene. Truly it was living in Paradise! I met my best friends on Guam (Kim Pador and Sheri Adams), and we are still friends today. That is amazing because we were all Navy Brats who moved all over the country. The night that we left the island, I was heartbroken. My sister Patti and I cried all the way to Hawaii until we fell asleep. I have not been back to Guam since we left in 1971, but it is on my "bucket list". Thank you for sharing the photos of the Beautiful Island of Guam. Many fond memories for me!! Take Care.

I was stationed on Proteus - E Division Main Power from 69-71. Bride Sandy and I lived in Agat with Bacilio and Feli Tamparong in a little two bedroom trailer house up on the hill. Drove a 59 TR3 green convertible, sailed the 19' Rhodes keel boat, sunfish at Gab Gab, and dove all around the island. First son born at NavHosp in 71. Great place back then.

Richard I lived in Guam from 1947-1955. Lived in BPM and attended Adelup Point School. Those were some of the very best years of my life, and what a wonderful experience. I think of it often. I'm now approaching 75 and would love to make contact again with a friend named Pat Springer. I have not been able to locate him. If anyone reading this happens to know of him, I can be reached at southernbelle.bell@gmail.com Thanks so much.

We lived on Guam twice, from 1947 to 1949 and again from 1951 to 1954. Father was a civilian sub-contractor working for BPM. Lived in BPM Camp #1 near Barrigada (now the site of the U. of Guam?) both times. Attended 3 different schools, Adelupe Point, one I don't recall the name of (but I do recall the rats running across the rafters of the quonset hut) and lastly at Wettengel Junction. Good times. Great place.

Hello, We were in Guam from Jan 1969 to Jan 1971. My dad was stationed at Andersen We lived in Fleming Heights, right across from the Skyview Theater. What I remember most; Attending Dededo Jr High (sp?). Then to JFK. I got to go to Guam 10 years ago or so, and JFK was in shambles- fences around it- not in use- so sad. Tarague (sp?) Beach, Listening to bands at the beach and the youth center (near the Superfort Theater), such as Burlington Express, Yellow Brick Road (?), Just Us. It was a time when I was just starting to learn guitar and actually played in a band there myself. People I hung with: Leonard Elliot, Dale Johnson, Bill Selsor- We all learned to play guitar together at that time. Haven't heard from them since those days It was a great time - I don't know if we really appreciated it then- but I do now. We left Guam in Jan 1971 when we moved to Beale AFB in California. Thanks - feel free to contact me (Charlie Suggs) at chasug@aol.com if we knew each other

I was stationed at NavComSta from 1968-1970. I took a photo of the Bank of America with my new Pentax I bought. I took the photo because the bank was a quonset hut. Only has one sign over the door. Laughed because I thought you could break into it with a can opener.

Archie, have pictures somewhere of Guam Bear sinking. was there 65-67, my dad worked for Office of Naval Intelligence.

we moved to guam from truk in 1956. i have 4 younger brothers and my third brother was born in the naval hospital on guam while we still lived on truk. my second bother and i went to mong mong school and my mom taught there as well. we lived across marine drive from the naval air station in a nice modern neighborhood. i went back in 2004 and it was all destroyed by a super typhoon. shame. i was on my way to see my brother on saipan. we used to catch the navy cattle car to the iso club beach from marine drive. lots of other things. i'd like to hear from others from that time. cheers.

virgil tudor		29-Dec-2014 19:32
we moved to guam from truk in 1956. i remember the date because we lived in civilian housing across marine drive from the naval air station. there had just been put in fresh sidewalks and near our quarters was "1956" in fresh cement. i and my little brother went to mong mong school and my mom taught there as well. does anyone remember the j & g market? we called it the "junk and garbage" store.my third brother was born in the naval hospital while we still lived on truk. we used to catch the navy cattle car on marine drive to the uso club beach. we got tv on guam in 1956, i think, from anderson air force base. it was a 15 minute part of a western. our neighborhood was real stateside. i went back in 2004 and it was all blown away. shame. i was on my way to see my brother on saipan where he lives. so many memories. does anyone remember the murphy family? they also lived in the neighborhood. of course i remember the ruins from the war, my dad passed through there on his way back from okinawa. now i live in silver spring, md. and i'm 66 but feel seven or eight again with shorts and zories. lots of memories!

lived in Guam from 1978-1982. loved it. was stationed at the naval communications master station and lived in many places through out the island, the last was the village of Dededo (nice community)! JONAS

We lived on Guam from 1982 to 1986. My dad was stationed there as a Medical Officer in the Navy. We lived in NAS Agana, married officer housing on 3rd Street. I went to school at Santa Barbara Catholic School. We have been in Virginia ever since my dad was stationed there for the rest of his Naval career. I have just returned from a 2 week trip to Guam where we visited many of the old places we used to frequent, including my old school and old house. NAS Agana as a military base was closed and what is left of it is now mostly open to the public. Many of the old military housing houses still stand and are now occupied by locals. The area of the old base is in disrepair with a lot of construction going on as well, but you can drive through the old neighborhood where the married officers abd their families lived. The old houses that still stand are easily recognizeable, even down to the large black stenciled house numbers on the fronts of them. It meant a lot to be able to return to a place I "grew up". I highly recommend going back.

Merry Ann		30-Nov-2014 23:58
Merry Ann I lived on Guam in 1950 to 1952. My Dad was a Chief and stationed at NAS Agana. My Mom and younger brother and I took the Naval transport ship from SF to Guam. Dad had use of a jeep and took us to our temp. housing where there were huge spiders that roamed the hut. Our permanent home was a Quonset hut and had the only glass window on the island. The boondocks were across the street, where breadfruit, mangos and coconuts grew. I loved the blue tailed lizards, the other small lizards, pretty birds and hermit crabs. No one liked the ants in 3 colors, and 2 sizes that all bit us, or the colorful and very poisonous centipedes that came and went from our hut. Dad, Robert Morrison, got off work at noon every day and we always went to the beach, usually Tumon, but sometimes Nimitz. Tumon was my favorite. Suicide Cliff was in the distance and the beautiful sand seemed to go for miles (I was 6 and 7 at the time). You dare not sit under a palm tree for fear of being hit with a falling coconut. I loved the sunsets, the outdoor theaters, BBQs on the beach, playing in the water and sand for hours, running into the water up to our necks when a tropical cloudburst came along then back onto the beach to dry a bit. We had to wait for a ship to come in to get lettuce and vegetables, and the only thing I really loved were the mangos and shrimp. We went through a typhoon, had to evacuate to the new Navy barracks (cement)as our Quonset hut was only secured with metal cables. It was Christmas time. When we lived in Guam there were still Japanese on the island that didn't know the war was over and we couldn't go on certain beaches, for fear of being shot at. There was also the occasional find of live munitions that made life interesting.

i am searching for information about my husband's stepfather's family, who lived in Agana approx. 1946–1950. James (Jimmy) Ryan was a career Navy man, originally from Ireland. In Guam, he was a Chief bosun's mate (BMC) and is described as NavSupCon security and definitely lived in Agana. It seems that his family was parked in S. Diego for the duration of his posting in Guam, but they came over for lengthy visits 2-3 times, the last being for 6 months in 1950. His children were Sheila (18 in 1950), Patrick (10) and Michael (5) and his wife was Leota. This is a real shot in the dark, but if these names sound family to anyone, i would be very pleased to hear from you at mykgedit@gmail.com. Many thanks.

I live on Guam fall of 1954 to 1956 my dad was Chief Boatinsmate and worked in office on base. Their friends always said dad didn't have to use the intercom just yell out the window. I went to First grade on Guam. I found an old address that we lived a 79 B Tipialo Guam. The housing was new when we moved in does anyone know if it still there? My goal is to come back for a visit now that I am retired

Kay Devlin Dudley,my dad was stationed on Guam in1958-1960. Went to then Tumon Jr Sr High. Lived on Anderson AFB on the "hill". Many great memories of the teen club, outdoor theater, beautiful beaches, and wonderful friends. Have lived in Lubbock TX now since 1960.

Kelli		08-Jul-2014 14:33
My Dad was stationed on Guam ... Mom. my brother and I flew there with other military families. We lived on "The Ecomony" until base housing was available for us. I remember the "Town House" store ... Went to Wettingel School. My teacher was Miss Choplosky. ( I still have my class picture) I have the same great memories of Guam you all do ! We came back to the states on a ship.

My wife Carol and I were in Guan from December 1984 to December 1986. We lived on Polynesian Drive on AAFB. Guam was such a great place to live and work and 30 years later I still miss it. I was in the 43rd AMS. Ken Adams

Karen B. Sanchez		23-Jun-2014 03:26
How neat to find this site!! We were out on Guam from 1947 to 1949. At that time my dad, Lt. Cdr Bill Brandow was the Manager and Cashier of the Bank of Guam when it was quonset hut!! He had worked for Chase Manhattan in Panama City then joined the Navy because there was a need for a banker to reorganize the bank after the war. I went to 1st grade at Adelup pt. School. We lived up in Naval Government in quonset huts. Rats used to run across the rafters! it waw quite an experience. Anyone else there at that time?? Karen Brandow.

Portia Boyd		22-Jun-2014 05:04
My name is Portia Boyd. Our family lived on Guam from 1953 until 1955. I attended Wettengel School. We lived in a small village in the boondocks (jungle) while we waited for housing on Barrigada. My most memorable and dear memories were of the time we lived in that village. I made friends with two native girls: Katherine and Josephine. We lived near a field of guava that had a tiny chapel situated nearby. I remember fiestas and red rice and sugarcane candy. Does anyone know what village it might have been? I remember Tona, the very old Guamanian neighbor lady that lived in a Quonset hut next door. She had no electricity.. only kerosene lamps... my Dad was an Electrician in the Navy, so he rigged up a rudimentary electrical system for her. She had a daughter, Maria, that was in a facility for very sick people. Our house had screen for windows and a tin roof that really made it noisy when avocadoes fell from the towering tree behind our house. Remember how the coconut crabs would climb up the screen to sleep at the top. Wow.. such wonderful memories. Anything sound familiar?? Would love to hear from anyone that was there during or around the time we were there.. Would be so special if I could ever locate my friends, named above. Thanks.. pqportia@yahoo.com.

Hi! I posted earlier but didn't leave my e-mail address! MISS so many people from the two years I lived on Guam! I was there 1968-69. My folks were on a contract teaching school. My father was retired Army so we were able to spend a lot of time on Anderson Air Force Base. I have awesome memories of the teen club dances, movies at the outdoor theater, The Burlington Express , swimming at Tarague Beach, snorkeling, driving around the island, all the good food and sweet people! I attended Dededo Jr. High School and lived in Dededo Village. My Dad taught school at George WA High and my Mother taught at Dededo Jr. High. I remember boarding up our house for a big typhoon. Very fun times! My e-mail is rossbach6@gmail.com if anyone had similar experiences at this time. Love to hear from you! Loni (Yolanda)

Susan (Farnum) Kelly		16-May-2014 11:33
My brother and I were born on Guam (me in '64, he in '65). Maiden name of Farnum. Lived in Agat, in a built-up quonset hut. Went to Agat Elementary, and Junior High. Dad lived out there for over 30 years, then retired and moved family to Oregon in 1977. Among other things, he worked Navy Civil Service, and I remember he was in charge of the supply depot. He also helped build the Apra Harbor Breakwater. My brother and I, and the kids in our neighborhood, built forts in the boonies next to our house, and I remember going to the local store on our way to and from school to buy treats (liked pickled daikon radish), and to stare at the live octopus in buckets for sale. Classes at school were pretty great (Marine Biology was a favorite in jr high - loved the field trips). I also have fond memories of The Little Red School House (kindergarten). Weathered Typhoon Pamela in '76. Sooo many great memories! I loved living out there, and miss it still.

Family lived on Guam from 1956 to 1959. My father worked for Transocean Air Lines (TALOA). We lived in the old BPM (Brown Pacific Maxon) construction camp (also known as Camp Quezon)right next to the abandoned SeeBee base. Bused to Mong Mong School on NAS bus. Our playgrounds were the abandoned Seebee base, the boondocks, and the mostly abandoned BPM Camp. Many trips to Meritzo, Agana Bay, NAS Agana and Anderson AFB. What a great live for a 8 to 10 year old.

RG Ackerman		27-Mar-2014 23:50
USAF- June 1972-August 1972, stationed at Anderson AFB with 19th AMC. Our B-52 SAC Wing moved there from Robins AFB, Warner Robins, GA. Loved seeing all the photos of the places of my memories there. Since we were deep in 'Operation Artic Light' with bombing missions over RVN, did not get much time to explore the island. But, the time I spent there left an indelible and romantic image of Guam and all it had to offer. I do remember Taliafofo Bay with the black sand, and (at the time) the largest McDonalds. In the short time off, I would snorkel the atolls at the Agana end. It would be nice to hear from anyone who might have been stationed there from Robins AFB for that period. RG Ackerman, nuts4tv@yahoo.com. I was a crew chief for 19th AMS out of Robins AFB, GA in 1972.

Marvin Riner		16-Mar-2014 10:29
Marvin Riner Awesome pictures! I was stationed at Andersen 1972-1973. We used to go to a bar named Mr. K's In Agana, I believe, (LONG time ago)nearest the base where I discovered the Harvey Wallbanger. They were 2 for 1 on Friday. LOL I also remember seeing Tiny Tim and the Wrigley-Spearmint Doublemint twins at the Guam Hilton. Not the best show I've ever been to but a great distraction from being homesick. :>) Also loved "boonie stomping" in the jungle, when we could get away. I remember finding a small deer antler and I poked it into the bark of some kind of tree and, what looked exactly like blood, ran out of it. So strange! I also went to step over a log in the jungle once and it rose up scaring the bejeezus out of me. It was a HUGE lizard! It lumbered forward about 20 inches until its head was hidden in some bushes. Though 6 feet or so of it was still exposed, he seemed to feel safe and well-hidden. LOL It looked for the world like a Kimodo Dragon but was FAR more timid! I heard later it was an Iguana and considered a delicacy by the locals. We also saw smaller ones that were excellent tree-climbers. The deer and hogs there were VERY small. This was before the brown tree snake invasion and there was lots of beautiful birds. I remember swimming at the beautiful Talifofo Falls when it was still pristine and camping on the beach at the bay eating coconuts. I remember the scenic view of Tarague Beach from the top of the mountain as the Air Force bus slowly snaked down the curvy road to get there. Once I was stung by a baby man-o-war at Tarague Beach. I thought I was dying but it was ok after a few days. At that time, It wasn't hard at all to find some privacy and enjoy the tropical beauty of that small oasis out in the Pacific. I have always wanted to go back and see how the beautiful little island has fared but I have a feeling it is far better to remember it as I saw it than the what it has evolved into today.

Harry Governick		06-Mar-2014 07:29
After being wounded in Vietnam, I was sent to the Naval Hospital on Guam to recoup - it was May, 1967. Through a series of fortunate events, I ended up spending the next 2-1/2 years on Guam, working first at the Marine Liaison Office at the Main Naval Hospital, followed by a transfer to the hospital annex, after which I ended up spending my last 15-months there as the Admiral's driver. The island was not nearly as populated with hotels then. Guam is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, from it's sleepy lagoons, to its beautiful people. During my time there, I got to know every square inch of the island, and almost every square inch of the beautiful reef surrounding it. The SCUBA diving, the festivals, the snowy white beaches and a beer or two at the Sleepy Lagoon made life on Guam a vacation paradise. I've never once dreamed about Vietnam, but I've often dreamed about Guam.

I lived on Guam in the early 60's. I went to first and second grade there--but don't remember the school. I remember the outdoor theatre and seeing Pink Panther at the movies. I remember Calvin the yo-yo champ, who was our neighbor. I had a poem about Guam--I have a cat named Tom. Tom lives on Guam. I remember having to wear sneakers into the ocean and the typhoons when Bing Crosby would play all night on the TV. I remember the geccos. I remember having my eye cut because I was laying on my belly on the wooden swings--needed stitches--still have the scar.

Fred		01-Feb-2014 14:45
I arrived on Guam December 20th, 1951 on the MSTS General Morton. Assigned to the 1958 AACS Squadron, Andersen AFB. Worked my 18 months, most of the time at Andersen Weather in the Base Ops building. Made a couple of trip around the island but don't recognize anything from the pictures. Guam has changed.

Karen Martin		01-Feb-2014 08:08
We went to Guam when my father was sent to open operations of Air Micronesia, 1968. I was 8 yrs old. If I had my choice of places to go back to, it would be Guam. I remember the Towne House. And the base. Good memories there.

Bob Goldman		21-Jan-2014 04:41
I was stationed at Anderson AFB from 1968-69. I bought my first motorcycle on the island, a 250 BSA, then sold it and bought a 450 Honda. Also had a 61 Corvair. Traveled the entire island, swam everywhere, explored it end to end. Went swimming in some caves that were called Marlboro caves, and almost drowned. I later heard they closed them and someone did drown. I remember going downtown and eating at Panciteria Far East. Loved the place. Found an abandoned mini sub in one of the coves. In fact, there was a ton of stuff left over from WWII there. Pretty Island. Once, my room mates and I saw a used stereo for sale in the local paper. We drove my Corvair there through the jungle roads. Coming around a turn, we saw what we thought was a large log that had fallen across the road. When we slowed down just in from of it, the "log" got up, and lumbered into the jungle! We never knew what it was, but it was HUGE and looked like some sort of dinosaur. Scared the crap out of us. We always wondered if anyone else saw it.

Hello. I lived in Guam from 1964 - 1967 on the naval base. Went to George Washington High School from 10th through 12th grade...we attended the JFK High School building for 10th and 11th grade because GWHS was destroyed in a typhoon before we arrived on the island. I was with the first graduating class in the new GWHS school building. I was also a cheerleader for the navy football teams (service men and dependents). I lived with my sister (Arlene) and her husband (Frank)...he was stationed on the USS Proteus. A theft of some of our cartons during a move a few years later caused me the loss of all my photos and scrap books from that time. Managed to get a couple of photos from some friends thru Classmates.com some years ago. That was the first time I could show my own daughter what I looked like as a teenager...it was great! Would love to reminisce and compare notes. Thanks.

Mark Urban I was in VQ-1 NAS Guam I have to say I hated the humity on Guam. I worked as jet mechanic ADJ from 1972-74 on A3's and P3's I never got to enjoy the island for long due to detachments.I remember the sunsets the tank traps I rode my 250 Yamaha all the way around the Island.Targue beach was great the airline stew's were regulars there :) Eating at Mc Donalds on Marine drive was great better than Navy chow.

I lived there as a kid from 1976-1980. My parents owned a couple of furniture stores - one on marine drive and another in the Navy Exchange. Found this site because I was hoping to find the recipe for the buns that Ben Franklin used to sell for $0.50. I remember because I collected pennies until I had enough to go buy a bun. So many many many fond memories of Guam. Would love to go back some day.....

Shirley K Well I seemed to have messed up. I looked up what typhoon hit Guam in 1970 and was told it was Karen. It seems that hit in 62. Anyone remember the name of the one in 70/71?

Guest		12-Nov-2013 20:23
Shirley K: We went to Guam in Dec 1970. We were in a hotel on the beach for a week til we found our boonie house. We lived in it for about 8 months. We went thru Typhoon Karen in it. It was a rustic wooden structure with corrugated tin walls and roof. I just knew everything we brought to the island would be gone when we got to leave the base to go home. It was fine. My first husband was at ComNavMar on the hill. Christy was just a baby and our son went to 2nd grade in Agana. I don't remember the name of the school. We lived in Navy housing I was ombudsman between the admiral and the Naval Officers Wives club. I hated that. I learned to make lumpia while there, and I still have a jar of the dried seeds that we used to flavor the orange rice. don't remember what it was called. I learned to love plumeria there. You could take a cutting as big as the owner would allow and it would root and be a tree the same size and grow from there. I still grow and collect them, but have to have a green house to do it now. I loved the snorkeling and diving. Never really got used to swimming in fatigues and tennis shoes tho. I lived there when the Japanese soldier came out of the cave and surrendered. And the shipping strike! The PX and commissary were almost empty. we got our mail but nothing else. My sister mailed me feminine products or we'd have had to use rags. And remember the frozen milk. I did love it there but not everything was good for everyone. I was still being used as a punching bag, so I wasn't the happiest wife in the world. If you have to be miserable, you couldn't do it in a better place. I remember one time the Admiral and his wife were to eat at our house. I had the fish I was fixing to broil on the pan ready for the broiler when the lights blinked(signaling power sharing--Our turn to be in the dark). I went out to the Lanai and put charcoal in the pit and grilled them out there. I remember shopping up on the hiss at a place run by the military that sold goods from everywhere. I added a bunch of my pattern nortaky china pieces from broken sets there. Also agorgeous massive china cabinet and a carved monkeypod screen. It was a great place to buy wonderful Christmas gifts we'd never have been able to afford elsewhere. I have been trying to remember the names of the lady who owned our booney house. She and I crocheted together. Mary and Tom but Their last name is gone. Jim and Betty Stiles, she and I corresponded for a long time. Everybody else we knew there are just gone. I guess I am nearly 70, but I have never been good with names. I have enjoyed the pictures and the chatter. Glad to have found your site.

I lived on Guam from 1964 till late 1969 I went to Kindergarten, 1st and part of 2nd grade there. I remember some stuff. The Coconut Crabs, Hermet Crabs and using them for bait on Tipalao Beach. We went to parties at the Macombo. My Dad was career Navy, Submarine Rescue and Salvage. One of the ships he was on The Proteus, 1st Class Chief Petty Officer. I also remember the outdoor theater, we saw some creepy movies there!! Does anyone remember when The Guam Bear sank? I remember crying about it because we wouldn't be getting anymore Fizzies!! I also remember some of the TV shows, Mr Terrific and Run Buddy Run? Does that sound right to anybody else?

Lived on Anderson AFB 58-61. Father was a Lt. Col. Lived across from jungle on Base. Remember having a family stay with us during a typhoon, Tarague beach, swimming with flip flops on etc. A Japanese soldier came out of the jungle right after we left. My parents loved it there

Guest		08-Oct-2013 02:42
Deborah Dad stationed at Anderson AFB and attended GW High School freshman and sophomore years 1966-1967. Have my year books and Glimpses of Guam still with me. GW was the only high school due to a typhoon that eliminated the other so we went to school half days. Great time-used to stay up listening to short wave radio to hear all the latest songs from California. On the beach all the time, walk in movies(carry your plastic), and the beautiful vistas. When we arrived there was 1 hotel of 8 rooms before we got base housing. Hear it is a lot different now!

Guest		07-Oct-2013 04:59
I'm Scott Todd. I attended Dededo Jr high while my Dad was stationed there 74-77. We lived in the 'new' housing just south NCS. We went Diving and Fishing every weekend! Tim Cullum sounds familiar. We could have been in the same class. I remember a skinny blonde kid (so was I) named Tim who's Dad was not in the military. This was odd as every other white kid at that school was GI. Guam was great! I still have lots of fond memories. Its great to see the photos and hear others stories.

Cyan		21-Sep-2013 16:23
So happy to see these comments. I'm a writer working on a novel about pilots (particularly bombers during Operation Menu, cloud seeders during Operation Popeye, and Typhoon Chasers.) I'd like to know more about life on Andersen and about Guam 1968-1972. If anyone has any stories or memories they'd like to share, please write me at cyan.james at gmail.com. Many thanks.

I was stationed in Guam 1985-87 at VQ-1 at NAS Agana where I had the pleasure of serving with Ed Carpenter who previously commented on this site. Great times on the island - what Hawaii was about 30 years ago!

I was an electronic technician in the Navy stationed at the Barrigada transmitter site from July 71 to July 74. My wife and I still consider those three years and the friends we made and still have, to be some of the best of our lives. We loved it there.

Guest		06-Aug-2013 17:29
my name is David I lived on Guam from 1964, 65 and 66 I went to PITI Elementary. I remember one of teachers was a Mrs. Gage. I remember her clearly because she lived across the street from us on the NAVY base housing. A good experience for me living in GUAM. I remember the outside movies, my brother and I delivered the stars and stripes newspaper.

Norm Stinger		25-Jul-2013 03:36
For Fred Kemp, 1958 AACS Sqdn, Guam 1951-1953. sir my dad was also stationed with the 1958 AACS Sqdn during your tour, maybe you knew him? Norman C. Stinger, Jr., S/Sgt(T), USAF. If you did please contact me at email: nstinger@aol.com. Thank you!

Lisa		05-Jul-2013 06:15
I lived in Guam from 1967 to 1971. My father was in the Navy and we lived on a street called North Tipalao(as far as I can remember)on base. I attended Old Piti School from 1st to 4th grade. I remember a teacher I had named Mr. Schwartz that drove a polka dotted volkswagon, collecting pollywogs at school and a couple of friends (Michelle Green and Leslie Nolan). Many enjoyable memories living there.

Howard Hochman		02-Jul-2013 15:51
I was the POINC stationed at Bldg. 52 Radio Barrigada from 1966-1969. Seeing the pictures posted, my wife and I have a hard time believing how the Island has changed! I loved the beach, shelling, deep sea fishing, and general sightseeing. There was still one Japanese soldier left in the jungle while I was on the Island, but never saw him. The jungle was so thick, when I was there, that he could have been 10 feet in front of me and I wouldn't have spotted him. What we remember most were the brilliant sunrises and sunsets that we've never seen anywhere else. The Island was the best duty station that I had in the service and I've always missed being there. If any of the guys that were stationed at Radio Barrigada, Bldg.52, during the period 1966-1969 please give me a holler at my e-mail address.

Carol		02-Jul-2013 05:26
I was based on Guam with the typhoon chasers from 1978-80 as a pilot. It was my first flying assignment and I loved it. Had a Hobi-cat in Apra harbor and remember going to BA beach, terragi beach, the fresh water caves, diving on the Zero in 40' of water at the south end of the island, yakitori, the Mongolian bar-b-q at the O-club, great lumpia at the NCO take-out window, fried rice for breakfast at the flightline cafe and fiestas with red rice and chicken adobo. Lots of good friends and good times. I'm still flying and would love to go back sometime. Carol S.

Brenda		30-Jun-2013 13:46
My family has lived on this rock since 1979 and though I hated it as a child I love it now. Went to Piti and graduated oceanview in 1991. I came back 2010 to help care for my parents and glad to bring my boy back.

Ed Carpenter Navy. Lucky enough to serve on Guam Twice. Once at NavCams Westpac NSGA 1975-1977 and then at Navy Air Station (International Airport) with Faireconron One (VQ1) 1984-1987. Both were outstanding tours of duty. Spent my life at the beaches. Went through Super Typhoon Pamela. Saw the tourist change really coming in 1985 and again in 1987.

Duane (Pete) Johnson		03-Jun-2013 00:34
I was in t.he Navy and stationed at Anderson Air Force base in 1964-65. I worked at the Navy ATCO office in the terminal building. My Chief was Chief Grable. I spent many hours on Tarague beach and taking drives around the island with friends.

Jon		06-May-2013 13:38
I Lived on Guam in 1967-68 while my father was stationed there as a Naval Officer. I went to the Little Red School House for Kindergarten and then to Old Piti for first grade. The Naval base was a great place to play as a kid and there were old airfields and places to explore. One memory from there was taking a picnic dinner to the beach and throwing the chicken bones to the hermit crabs. When we returned to the mainland we went to Washington State. All the kids were playing in shorts and T-shirts and I had a sweater on, not used to the cooler temperatures.

Wayne		10-Apr-2013 22:42
I lived on Guam 1960-1964, My Dad ran the USN Crash/Rescue Boat. I remember my Dad taking me to work and riding on the Crash Boat. I also was Sadden to learn that the Island has changed in many way and have been told by others that it a large tourist attraction. I remember Typhoon KAREN hitting the Island and my youngest Brother was born on the Island. I also have fond memories of my First Dog named Angle (looked like Lassie) She would walk me to the Bus stop and would be waiting for me after school. I also recall running behine "Olk Skokey Joe" along with other kids at sunset......I would loved to revisit the Old Island some day.

Jenyuan Chang		08-Apr-2013 22:30
I lived in Guam from 1973 til 1985. Went to LBJ, Tamuning Elem., St Anthony Cathelic School, and John F. Kennedy High School!! I love GUAM!! The best island on earth. I missed the shopping places such as Gibson, Town House, and Tumon Duty free Stores!! My great memories..

Hafa Adai! I lived in Guam from 1984-1989...maybe 1985-1989. I went to Piti Middle School and OceanView High School in Agat and Santa Rita. I love the island and the islanders! I miss the green mango with the white fruit inside dipped in salt (yummm). If anyone has yearbook photos...I would love to see! My maiden name was "Mary Chello Spivey"

Fred Kemp		23-Mar-2013 15:23
I just found this site and was amazed with the pictures. It didn't look like that when I was there in Dec 1951 to Oct 1953. We had a few typhoons, enough to tear up the 1958th AACS Squadron.

vicki		23-Mar-2013 01:29
I'm sitting here looking at a class picture from 1955 at Wettengel Elementary School. My teacher was Mrs. Plunkett. I must have been in the 2nd grade. I remember I had to wait a year to go school. Housing wasn't complete when we arrived. We lived in the jungle the first year. I was so young but I remember bits and pieces. My favorite memories were the picnics on the beach and the air shows. I have home movies and pictures of Guam. From there we moved to Albuquerque,NM.

James Lombard		09-Mar-2013 16:09
Jim L. Station at NCS but worked at THE ARFCOSTA on Anderson from May 66 to Oct 67 and enjoyed the whole experience. Just part of the 75,000 on Anderson during Arc-light. Lived in the barracks across from the Golf course. Nights were at the Super Fort or bowling. Loved the low cost of Booze and the beaches and diving of Cocos Island. It was my first assignment and the most enjoyable.

Guest		24-Feb-2013 04:43

I was the the Agana Footbal team from 1978-1980 and it was tough semi-professional footbal.

Steven C. Hall		29-Jan-2013 08:06
Living in Guam at Agana Air Station while stationed with Patrol Wing One Tactical Support was an era in my life in which I was in the best physical shape while play football in the Guam Varsity (Semi-Professional) Football League from 1979-1980 who had Lt. J.T. Thompson as tailback from South Carolina. We played hard against the University of Guam who had strongman Art Rabon as I think a line-backer or full back, Andersen Air Force, the legendary NSC Bluedevils who had Billy WhiteShoe in the backfield. I was captain of the kick of team with Terrance Carrington and served as backup tailback for tought situation. It was indeed the best of my life.

Michael Grigsby		07-Jan-2013 10:29
Its amazing how this little island has affected so many people from different eras. I was a young kid when my father was stationed at N.A.S Agana between 1982-1985. I was sitting here looking thru the computer hoping to find some pictures of that time because it was such a precious time in my life. I was fortunate to have family stationed there at the same time so my cousins and I have such fond memories of the place. I guess looking back and reading some of the comments on this forum, we can all say that Guam has a special place in everyones heart that sets foot on that little rock in the middle of the sea. I hope someday to return there just to show my kids a little piece of heaven. Until then, Hafa Adai

Millie Donnell		01-Jan-2013 21:39
I lived on Guam spring 1967 to fall of 1968. My husband was stationed at the nava airl base, and I worked at the Guam Memorial Hospital in the Medical Records Department. The Department administrator was Evelyn Willard. Some of my co-workers were: Lucy Salas, Ana Salas, Rosario, Martha, Vicky, and Lillian . Other names come to my mind periodically, and i may think of them later. I was just 19 at the time, and it was the time of my life. I didn't want to leave when we were transferred back to the mainland, and so many years later at age 64 I still pine to go back at least for a visit.

Cherry		06-Dec-2012 21:55
Wow...Guam has changed a lot from what I remembered. My family lived here from 1972-1978. I attended Tamuning Elementary and FB Leon Guerrero until we left for So Cal...wow my most vivid memories of Guam was Typhoon Pamela in 1976...it was awful but we survived...

Guest		14-Nov-2012 18:19
I was stationed in Guam from 1977 to 1979 stationed at the US Naval Hospital Agana Hts. I have fond memories of the beautiful people there, scuba diving, playing football for the NAS Cardinals, hanging out at Juliana's of London at the Guam Hilton. I can't believe that the time has past so quickly. A great place to be!

Tim Cullum		28-Oct-2012 15:46
I lived on Guam for a few years in the early 70s. My dad worked at a power plant there so we didn't live on the base. I went to Dededo Jr high. Moving to Guam from the states was a culture shock at first but my brothers and I adapted quickly, and we grew to love it. by the time we moved back to the states it was a reverse culture shock for me all over again. Those few years on Guam had a profound affect on me. I will forever have fond memories of that part of my life.

Guest		28-Oct-2012 01:22
Teresa W-I too lived on Guam twice in fact, my father was stationed at AAFB, we were there during Typhoon Karen. We lived in a quanset hut off base when Karen hit, my dad was flying in one of the storm chaser planes. I always remember every time a storm was coming we filled the bathtubs with water. I started first grade there (they didn't do kindergarten then). Great memories, the fiestas and the great people. Its obviously changed a lot. Nice to see all the great pictures.

John Mendiola		05-Oct-2012 15:25
hey everyone. I was just wondering if most of you can help me find a long lost relative. I have been on guam pretty much most of my life and i am trying to find someone who supposedly is my first cuzin. she was born on april 21, 1976 to Juan blas. from what i heard was that they left the island a long time ago. I am not sure what her name is. so what i am asking is if anyone would know who i am talking about or have some clue. If so you can email me at jmendiola@midpacguam.com or contact me at 6873900

E.L. Spivey		30-Aug-2012 19:43
The first time i have checked out part of this site. I was an Air Traffic Controller AAFB 1953-54.Arrived Guam sometime in June 1953. We first lived on base beside base headquarters in quanset huts 20 men to a unit. the unit i was in 1958th aacs sqd a large unit consisting of all types of communiation people. later we were moved to newer barracks close to the main laundry 10 miles or so from the base. i remember their was a bowling alley close to the barracks. did not like those baracks we were pretty much on our own after the main part of the sqd moved. only had one typhoon while i was their thank goodness not a bad one . Dec 1953 a terriable aircraft acident occured. a B-29 crashed into a officers family housing area 15 to 18 people were killed including a number of children, some crewmen survied the accident, if you view a picture you would say impossible. i enjoyed my time on the island and went to the southern end a number of times even tried to climb MT lam-lam. what a mistake . their were still 3 japaneese soliders on the island when i was their never saw them tho. would like to go back and visit but looks like time might run out before i can. not getting any younger and feel good , but who knows you neve can tell. thanks to who ever keeps this going

Went to Dededo Junior High in Guam 1968-1970. I met many wonderful people there. My name then was Wanda Merz. I had a great teacher named Mr. Gallagher. We had school dances during the day. We went on field trip around the island.

elena		30-Jun-2012 19:31
My mother was born in Guam in 1907...Her father was Peter Nelson. She moved away when she met and married my father in 1925. She spoke of "home" till her dying day...Never recovered from leaving what she called a paradise life..All before the war of course... During my husbands stay in the hospital recently I met a person that worked there and that was from Guam...Her father was Al Pangeliman and her mom was Martha Pangelinan. She married a man from Guam and his name was Peter Flores.... I am 76 now but thought after all these years, to run into someone from Guam was unusual...She told me they don't call Agana Agana now but something else....Just to say hi..Elena

Chris(toffer) Anderson/Earl		21-Jun-2012 02:10
I went by the last name Anderson and the nickname Toffer back in the early 70s. I'm trying to put together a timeline of my life. I was in Guam from 1970~2004 on and off. I can't remember what grades I went Dededo jr. high but "Bulldog" Smith was the principal and it was between 1975 and 1978. Does anyone know anything at all that could help jog my sketchy memory?

Judy Miller Stewart		17-Jun-2012 03:32
To Chris Vestal. My dad was Capt. Marcus G. Miller. He also flew in typhoon chasers-he was the weather observer. The plane that went down in Jan of 1958 was the one my dad was on. My thanks to all who prayed and searched. And waited with my mom to give her moral support, comfort and hope. I miss my dad every day but especially on fathers day.

Larry Bittner		11-Jun-2012 22:42
Enjoyed the pics but looked much different from my time on Guam. Was there 1947-1949 and attended George Washington HS when it had 2 sessions per day ( I attended the AM session), consisted of quonset huts and was located in Sinajana village. Great memories of my time there. Still have the 1949 yearbook.

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.

Mark.		18-May-2012 06:36
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.

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.

A1/C Phiilips		02-Jan-2012 02:33
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.

I remember weekend picnics at Gab Gab beach. The statues made of stone. Taking the schoolbus to Old Piti elementary, went there K-2 grade..teachers Phun (Phan? sp), Cross and Rebamontan. Typhoon Pamela and eating military food out of green cans. Navy pool and movie theater where I watched Jaws. Classmates Carl, Marie, Susan...taking field trips to governor's mansion, glass bottom boat, two lover's point, Magellan landmark... Fiestas...red rice...kilaguin (sp)...Filipino folk dancing, hula, Chamorro warriors, CCD, church in curved metal building. Exchange on a hill, commisary down below. Military patrols housing, bus stops with numbers painted on sidewalks. Ben Franklin...Typhoon aftermath in Agana. Rambling in no particular order...

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

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!!!!

Sharon Nickson		21-Sep-2010 05:52
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.

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.

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

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!

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
it's cody reidh. A truly local american boy grew up in Guam and still living here. Jordan McSwann, the fire station that your house was near, it's still there. I went to daycare center that near a fire station in Dededeo when i was kid. THe buddish couple ran that day care. J.T, yes there's still a Pizza huts. Do you remember the pizza hut that is next to mirconesia mall? it's torn down now. Atlanta boy, the food you could still taste is chammorro food. And Marty's is torn down last year. It was a great resturant. Guam is gonna be the place I want to die at. Adios!

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.

Guest		21-Mar-2009 16:09
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 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

J. Carey Conway		27-Sep-2007 20:10
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.

Kellyann		26-Sep-2007 03:06

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.

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
