:( Guys, I was recently notified by AOL that they are discontinuing their AOL Hometown section and will not be hosting any more web sites. In view of this, I have purchased my own domain at www.sammcgowan.com and am in the process of moving the stuff I want to keep over there. My new home page is www.sammcgowan.com/home.html . As many of the oldtimers know, I got this whole thing going back in the mid-90s right after I joined AOL by searching profiles for anything related to C-130 and then building up an Email group from it. Scott Gager was one of those who was a part and he decided to set up an Email group and web site on Spectrum. To be honest, I haven\'t really …

I just learned that the home of Steve and Linda Privette was destroyed by Hurricane Ike. Steve was an APG mechanic at Sewart and Naha, where he was in the 41st TAS. He currently works at the Johnson Space Center in Clear Lake. Steve and Linda had a home in the little community of San Leone, which is on Galveston Bay off of Texas 146. According to the media, about 40% of the homes there were demolished and theirs was one of them. Although not a C-130 vet, Frank Godek is a retired C-124,C-141 and C-7 engineer who lives in Bayou Vista, another community located on on the body that connects the Gulf with Galveston Bay on the north side of Galveston Island. I talked to Fra…

Apparently Merle "Chief" Reeder, flight mechanic in the 35th at Naha and Forbes, has evidently passed away. Chief was a full-blooded Indian from Oklahoma and lived there. I talked to him on the phone a few years ago. I really hate to hear that he's gone. Does anyone have any details?
