We were ala=ways told we were the end of the DEW line. I will have to see what I can find for pictures and the like. Incidentally, when I got my orders to go to H-3, nobody could tell me where I was going. It listed an FPO 09571 (I think) which was a Navy fleet post office. Somebody checked it out at Great Lakes and clued me in that I was going to the end of the world. (I was at Chanute AFB Illinois 2865 GEEIA Sq. when I got my orders.) 09/16/2000 00:00:00 Name: John Daig Otis AFB 1967-1969 26th ADMS 09/15/2000 00:00:00 Name: Miles Martin Tom, Your deactivation movie of Ft.
