January 25, 1970 - Scout Book

 

Mom worked at the Family Store (Building 211) on GFAFB.  This is where I bought most of the plastic car model kits I assembled as a kid and where I was introduced to CARtoons magazine which I regularly purchased.

"Dad's shop" referred to the repair shop (Building 622) for the AGM-28 Hound Dog missile that my father managed.  The shop had extensive test consoles and a huge bay that could hold several missiles at the same time.  He managed a staff of between 5 and 10 people as I recall.
