Hi Walt

I could tell you a few stories about the weak nose gear involving Deuces of
the 59th FIS up at Goose (64 to 67).

Hey, Moose, I was up at Thule in the 332 FIS Aug 63 to Aug 64. I
spent a few weeks down at Goose escaping Thule, harassing the Goose
Club and making a general nuisance of myself. ADC made us get sim time
- Thule didn't ever have a Deuce sim, so every quarter we had an
escape alibi. Twice I sniveled my way back to RG AFB for sim becuz my
wife was living just off base there. Twice I harassed the Goose. About
the only guy I remember was the Ops officer, a guy named Caldwell.
Knew Jack Dale and still know Howie Kidwell, both at Goose about that
time, down at Homestead in the 319th. Howie's living in Austin TX.
