Do you have any idea how many people worked on Project Wildbore? Was it just a small group or many? Sometimes I feel regret about putting up all those photos of BAS. It's hard to see them when you have fond memories and want to keep those memories intact. When we were there it felt surreal and everywhere I looked my memories were confronted with the real thing. But then at the same time memories came flooding back that had long since been stored away. It was like reliving my childhood. So it was good and bad. Julie Hi Guy,

I enjoyed reading your comments. Do you have any idea how many people worked on Project Wildbore? Was it just a small group or many? Sometimes I feel regret about putting up all those photos of BAS. It’s hard to see them when you have fond memories and want to keep those memories intact. When we were there it felt surreal and everywhere I looked my memories were confronted with the real thing.

I was with the ASA group at Bad Aibling Station from late 1967 until August, 1969. My MOS was 32G20 (Crypto Repair). We worked in the old hangar that served as the Comm Center. I was later assigned to the NSA (Project Wildbore). I remember quite a bit about the old place and really hated to see the delapidation posted in your pictures. My name is Guy Hollaway.

Chris would have been too young for your wife's class, but Scott could have had her for fifth grade. I'll check with him to see if he remembers the name Linda Rhyne. Thanks for the history of BAS. It's interesting. We left in August of 1970 before the Army left. My father was civilian and we lived off base a few miles. There were several civilian families that were sent by Lockheed and we were one of them. Ken,

What are their names? Were they military or civilian? Her name is Linda Rhyne and she taught a 4th - 5th grade combination one year and I believe 5th grade the next year. She was at the school for the 69-70 and 70-71 school years. The principal was Mr. Wagner. There were only 5 or 6 other teachers, but I can't remember all of their names. The names that come to mind are Pat Garcia, Betty Hogarth, Lorraine Hood, and Kathy (?) Frau Schotz was the German teacher. The link came though just fine. I'm not sure of the timeframe in the book. Bad Aibling was strictly an Army Security Agency field station when I was there - no Navy nor Air Force. We did have a small British detactment that occupied their own operations center and we also had NSA which shared our operations center. Bad Aibling had several external detachments in West Germany reporting to them. Maybe some of them had Navy and Air Force personnel. Bad Aibling Field Station was consolidated with several other units into Field Station Augsburg in 1972. I got a one month early out due to the pending move to Augsburg. After the Army left Bad Aibling, the NSA took over the operation of the base. I believe that there were other military assignments to Bad Aibling after that time, but I have no knowlege of them.

My two brothers attended that school and could easily of had your wife as teacher during that time frame. I am continually looking for info on Bad Aibling and recently found this excerpt out of a Google book by doing a google search and thought it would be of interest to you, John and anyone else involved over there. It discusses the satellite communications and the "Direction Finding" capabilities and much more. I hope this link works on this site. If not, I'll send it via email to you. http://books.google.com/books?id=BaeJNdRySPoC&lpg=PA199&ots=US7aL70RGJ&dq=beginning%20of%20satellite%20communications%20in%20bad%20aibling&pg=PA199#v=onepage&q=&f=false Julie Hi Ken,
