Zc708. Wow, the crane had to be positioned on top of the casemate to be able to handle all the lifting. That is the Navy LT Gerald R. Stott from the staff of the Commander U.S. Naval Forces Philippines at the Naval Station Sangley Point.

Zc707. This is the front page of the news paper The Afterburner, dated 1st of March 1068; this paper was put out by the Naval Air Station Cubi Point in Subic Bay. My friend Charlie Moser cut out the article and pictures and kept them now for 50 years because he was part of the story. Charlie is the person standing at right of the group of volunteer workers.

Zc697. This is the Spanish Gate or West Gate of the Naval Station Olongapo. We are looking west; going thru that gate takes you to the Naval Reservation Town of Olongapo. We don’t have a date for this picture but it must be pre war. That looks like garden and landscaping in front of residential units, which I saw on another picture at the location. This picture was provided by Bert Caloud in 2015.

Zc678. ID: DNST8400322. A high-angle starboard quarter view of the aircraft carrier USS MIDWAY (CV-41) entering Subic Bay, escorted by three tugs. Those mountains in back run north from the town of Dinalupihan to Mt Pinatubo and the mountain range is called Cabusilan. One of my earliest walks was crossing those hills and I got stuck on them for one night, one of my early walking lessons.
