Clark Nelson Remembering Roommate Gaylon Lackey - Naha ADCC 1957




I took the attached photo of my Naha Air Base roommate Gaylon Lackey in August of 1957 when we spent the day at Yaetake aka: ‘Radar Hill’. Lackey can be seen on the right near the guard at the gate.

Yaetake at that time was a member of the 624th AC&W, with call sign ‘Foolhardy’. They passed along their air traffic to we, the Air Defense Control Center (ADCC) at Naha Air Base; our call sign having been ‘Slowpoke’.

Gaylon Lackey passed away January 25, 2000.
