Good Grief. Was I EVER that young?

Wed Dec 24, 2008 4:26 pm

I was looking for some ancient records and came across this from 1956.

We were talking about "posed" pictures a while back. This is one of 'em.

L-R S/Sgt Dave Conrad, Lt. Anne Noggle, A/2c Mudge.

This was taken in the Combat Center of the 34th Air Division (Defense) at Kirtland AFB. That console is my office. I was the Control Tech. on Conrad's crew. I was the only non NCO to hold that position. The console just beyond us belongs to the OIC. I worked for him.
This is the only time I remember Lt. Noggle being in the building. She was from personnel so I don't remember why this picture was taken.
She has no idea what those buttons and switches are for.

Mudge the kid :shock:

OK...so it's not Warbird related...I don't care :twisted: :hide:

Is this the same Lt. Noggle?

WASP, crop-duster, air show pilot? And then photographer?

Never mind that the Lt. didn't uderstand the switches, the question remains....did YOU know what the switches did? And which one ordered lunch for you folks? :wink: :wink:

"She has no idea what those buttons and switches are for."

Well, Mudge, I'll bet she had a few buttons that you had no idea what they were for (at that age!). :P

Were you and Conrad supervising the Lt.? You know how those junior officers can be... ;)

Kinda doubt it but it is kinda' Rod Serling ain't it?
The Anne Noggle you referenced was born in 1922. I was born in '35. I don't think my Lt. Noggle was 13 years older than I was.

Mudge the geezer

Give him another 15-20 years or so and he'll be back there, that "circle" of life thing you know. :oops:

Great picture! Merry Christmas, Brad. aka Mudge.

I only hope I'll be around in 15 years.
