1970: Old Base. It is believed that Operations had already moved to the new site by this time since there is no evidence of vehicles or flags. The auxiliary power generator building, is on the right, the one with the exhaust sticking out over the doorway. At he left is the carpentry shop and garage.    (Photo by Bill Collings.

1970:  Operations and Administration Building - Old Base. The tech shop was the "add-on" at the end of the building with the main entrance situated beside the tech shop.  Upstairs was the lounge with the administration  offices located at the tech shop end of the building. Operations was at the opposite end. (Photo by Bill Collings. Submitted by Ron Collings)
