Tom Damewroth again. We went 'sailing' that day in his new
LL Bean canoe to check his illegal salmon lines. Those silver
salmon sure tasted good. |

Here is Jack "Tatoos" Teague at LIZ 3, which closed in
1989. Clive Beckmann reports that Jack passed away in the early
90s. |

Alaska DEW Line stations received larger supply shipments and inspectors
ferried by these C-130 'Hercules' prop aircraft. Also called
'smokers' for their considerable black exhaust, the planes enjoyed
the ability to take off & land on short runways or, using skiis,
on snow and ice. These versatile, reliable planes were DEW Line
work horses. |
