I finally got the info to Gerald Mandel's photos added and 2 more photos that I recently received from him. Just got a CD with about 50 more pictures from Don Wellman in the mail so on to getting those formated for web and online as soon as I can. I have not forgotten about the reunion DVD preview clip either, looking for another site to store that video so we don't eat up space on out host site server. Video files are rather large.

Twenty photos from Gerald Mandel have been added to the Photo Page. Click the "Photos" link to the left to go to that page. As soon as I get some information on the individual pictures I will add the info. I believe some of these were taken at an open house in 1958. Some of the photos are blurry but since there are so few pictures of the actual missiles in existance they are included. One thing about several of these pictures that stand out to me is the evevator you see in several of the photos. If you look at the 2008 reunion DVD you can see that elevator in operation. It is amazing to me that more than 50 years later it is still operational. I hope to have a video clip of that online very soon.

I have added several photos from Bill McCue taken in 1958 at Red Canyon Range Camp. They are on the Photo page. It has been a busy time for me during the weeks leading up to Easter. Since I am the head tech guy at my church I was heavly involved in our annual Easter Musical Production. It is over so hopefully I have a little more time to attend to some things on this website and some regular days off again.

Just a quick note to let you know the latest on what is happening here on the webite.
Recently some historical photos of battery B have been added, there is a link to the page in the menu section on the home page.
Most of the contact info has been added to those who have given permission to include that.
I think I have one or two of you I have not gotten to yet, but I will get to you this week. Drop me a note at cbccraig@gmail.com if I have missed you.
Those of you that have sent me pictures to be scanned I just want to thank you and let you know that they are scanned and I will return them to you as soon as I have an opportunity to do so. Don Wellman I think I still have a folder of some you sent that I have not scanned yet, but hope to complete that this week.
The reunion group photo was uploaded to the site today. It resides on the Reunion page and there is information there on how to order your own copy of the photo or a DVD of the reunion. Don and I just spoke briefly on the DVD and are going to look into the possibility of putting a short video preview of the DVD on the site, so more news on that as it is available.
On a personal note, I am really having fun putting up this website. The only thing I wish is that it could go a little faster. With my work schedule being so busy I can only put in a couple hours a week at best. I still have pictures that some of you have emailed to me or sent on a cd. I am working on getting those up as time allows. Thank you all for your patience.
