Great page! My father was stationed at Clark A.B. from 1980-1984. We lived in New Carmenville for 15 months and I went to Lilly Hill. We then moved into a Casa on base and I went to both Wagner M.S. and H.S. Your page is great and I love those memorie . I remember the chili cook-off in front of the Silver Wing, how nuts we got when they built a McDonalds outside the Main Gate, and all the great places we visited. Hundred Islands, Bagio, Pagsanhan Falls, Corregador. Thanks!

i was stationed there off and on for several years.2 of mine 3 children were born at the base's hospital over near what was the elephant cage.my 1st. born died in 87 of cancer.her name was Aurora Corrall Chandler.she was 12 yrs old.her brother Charles is ow in Virginia teaching school his e-mail is chandlcc@pwcs.edu We still talk of our years over there.All 3 kids had gotten the BEST education at those schools on base.But they also grew up quick because I insisted to live off base.It was also Mt. View and down towards Angeles ,can't recall the name but it had a large hotel at the entrance.The thing most remembered was swimming anytime,the nice people and the crooks also.We would visit the different barrios including the Negrito village.I still have a sword some of the people gave to me when we last parted. We were concerned about the people there since they were on the bank of the Negrito river when we heard of the volcanos wrath on all these people in that area.I have been looking for sights of before and fter photos and info on what is currently happening in the area.We saw very little on the news about the clark area except the evacuation.What happened to that brand new commisary ,NCO Club,the Airmans,the Hospital,the cemetarys(who takes care of the grav s now)my old work place (Base Supply)?you know any links give them a push to my e-mail address listed above. Thank you for having this sight .Tomas

It was a pleasure to read and view the pictures of Watership Down. My wife will not read the novel because of the rabbits that die. It is nice to know that someone out there appreciates it as much as I do. I have not been over there to see for myself, ut maybe one day soon. Thank-you

Thanks for writing about your life in the Philippines. My father was from the Philippines. He joined the US Navy in the 1920's when he was 19 yrs old. When his ship sailed to the US, he left his home and never returned. I am now researching our family history and have been thinking of visiting his homeland. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. It was very interesting.

I was an Air Force Security Police K-9 handler stationed at Clark from March 1991 to November 1991. Your pictures and comments brought back great memories. I arrived at Clark just in time to witness the Mt. Pinatubo eruption (June 15, 1991). Needless to s y, it was an experience. I was only able to enjoy the beauty of the PI for two months. After the eruption, it literally became the "dark side of the moon." They evacuated the majority of the base before the eruption, leaving only the "mission essential" p rsonnel behind (cops and cooks!). I lived at the base of a large hill which might have been "Lilly Hill." There was a bunker built into the base of the hill. Rumor had it that they couldn't cut the grass on the hill because of the left-over WW2 ordiance. did find what was left of a strip of .50 caliber machine gun ammo one night while on patrol. The date stamped on the end of the ammo was '44! I have alot of photos of the volcano eruption and the post-eruption damage to Clark. I'd be happy to share them! Thanks for the memories!

Loved reading and viewing your site. My family was stationed at Clark from '75 - '80, and it was truly the best time of my life. When Pinatubo blew it's top, I sobbed, feeling as though my boyhood hometown was effectively wiped off the face of the earth. eeing pictures such as the one of the Kelly Theater post volcano, really makes me sad. I fly for Northwest Airlines, and will always regret that I didn't go back to Manila before the disaster, to check out the base. Maybe it's true waht they say though .. you can never go home. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Ritchie

Great job. I was stationed at Clark from July 59 thru Dec 60 as an airman. My barracks (1961 AACS) were at the foot of Lily Hill, but I worked on FM Hill. Some of my co-workers painted "AACS" on the Lily Hill radome one memorable night - it was quickly repainted by a crew flown in from Japan.

I was stationed at Clark Air Base from January 1989 thru February 1991...this experience forever changed my life...had a chance to see a part of the world I used to read and study about when I was in school..I met and married a filipina who worked on base there(do you remember the shop called Narda's at the concession arcade next to the BX?..she worked in there..Narda's made handwoven items such as wall hangings, purses, and other decorative items) I was a weather observer for the Detatchment 5, 20th Weather Squadron..thankfully, I left a few months before the destructive eruption of Mount Pinatubo..unfortunately, my wife(not at the time, though) had to evacuate her apartment in Angeles and cross th Abacan River with her belongings in her backpack..she graduated in 1995 from Angeles University with a B.S. in Nursing and works as a Registered Nurse here in Massachusetts. I work at the weather office here at Logan Internaional Airport in Boston and part-time at the Bluehill Observatory in Milton, Massachusetts. Great site and hope to read other comments in the future.

I was a dependent on Clark Air Base in 1948 for 18 months and again in 1953 for 1 year. My father was a Master Sergeant and also was a B-17 Pilot in WW2 in Europe. We lived in Dusty Acres (1st time) &Jr. Officers Quarters off Dyfss Hwy. 2nd time we lived in the WW2 Field Grade Officers Quaters a short walk from the Alcan site (thought it was a restaurant) at the Telephone Exchange end of the of the Parade Ground. Behind our house was a large field and a small hill and the fence. My buddies and myself found a lot of WW2 bullets and 3 inch mortors from WW2. EDO and the APs also gave us a hard time. The 2 nd time I was there I was in Mrs. Augustine's 5th grade Class. I enjoyed catching bugs (the locasts, Horned beetles and the large water bugs). Reading your Web Page Story sure brought back memories. I wish I go back there again. I would also like to see Bagiuo again. I like the drive up there on that VERY narrow road. The last time I saw the PI was when we left in 1955 when we returned to the US so my father could retire after 23 years. I was in the US Navy and commisioned the USS America CVA-66. I got out on 4-1967 with the Rate of RD2. I live in southern Oregon. Have a great and safe day, Jim Latham

I read the book years ago when it first came out - in my teens - and have recently rescued it from my parents house for my daughters to read. The animated film of the book is a favourite of theirs. Sadly, I don't get as much time to read as I'd like - working mother and taxi driver to two teenage daughters & all that!! Bye !!

I grew up in the Nashville area where many of the Ballards seemed to originate before moving on. My gr. grandad was Warren Baxter Ballard. I have a picture of him, but not your Thomas Almon. If I have read the data correctly, Warren and Thomas had differ nt mothers. You might want to check with Susan Wolfe about the name of the earliest Ballard, I think it is Owen,not Otis, unless there has been new information since I last contacted her. Obviously we are cousins of some degree since Walter Alvis is my gg grandfather. Betty

My Mobile Construction Battalion, MCB 10, was assigned to build dependent housing in USNS Sangley Point in 1963. We built about 35 units. In about 1970 the base was turned over to the Phil Armed Forces. I enjoyed the "PI" so much that I went back later nd married a Filipina. I'd like to go back - at least for a visit.

I wanted to see your page as I grew up in Clark AFB in 1984-1987, off base for one year then we moved down the street from the General's house near McArthur Elementary. I remember having a few maids that baked the best homeade bread ever and going to the pool down the street and having pizza and virgin strawberry daquaries. I also remember when the Challenger exploded and the pictures of the astronauts were put up around the school. Just a few memories I had to share with a fellow Air Force brat :)

I used to enjoy the mountain people too, as I used to ride motorcycles in the mountains an attended a couple of their weddings.

I appreciate the work that you've done and sharing at least some memories, though my experience was obviously different from yours, since I was an enlisted man. My best friend from Air Force days recently moved here. He pointed the Clark site out to me in an e-mail note this evening and I've spent hours checking things out -- your part is fine! Thanks! I was at Clark from June 1958 to July 1960 with the 6924th RSM (AF Security Service). I also worked for quite awhile at AFRTS, beginning as a dj and ending as sports director. Dick Whenry and I did play-by-play of football games from the Bamboo Bowl -- th I hadn't remembered that it had a name. After getting out of the AF in 1960 I went to college at Wake Forest U. and then to grad school at Stanford where I got a Ph.D. in Chinese history. I've been teaching at Wake Forest since 1968.

that book was way too crass, I thought it would be a wonderful sci fi about nuclear war and de- humanization, not a lousy fantasy about rabbits. and not just that, but it was boring beyond belief! I can't figure out how anyone could enjoy that sick and bo ing book, much, much less millions of people! well, anyway, I am not offfensing you for enjoying the book, I just diddn't like the book too much. Now something different: Have you heard of Robert C. Obrien? He's my favorite author and I think one of the g eatest authors that ever lived. If you have not read any of his books, please do! I bet you'll like them more than Watership Down, or at least as much. the sad thing, though, is that he is not a legacy, and not supersuccessful, although he deserves to be ore famous and rich than Richie. not only is he not rich and famous, but he died of a heart failure, which means he only got to write four novels. the four that there are, though, are the greatest novels I've read. I hope you'll like him too.

Wow! Talk about a blast from the past. My father was also stationed at Clark from 58-60. I remember getting sick as a dog from those damn typhoid shots; couldn't even lift my arms, being seasick as hell the first few days out of San Fran, Angeles, the cool school bus ride to Wurtsmith from off post, re ember, went past the main runway and now and again some f-100's would lift off right over your head as the bus went by. Way too cool! When we got on base; we lived about fifty yards behind the O club, just off the parade grounds. I think that was an EM area, or mixed, but I lived in that O club pool. You ever play on that shot up Jap tank that used to be up at Bagio? I remember in the cub scouts, or was it grade school, a field trip down to Manilla where we got to board the US Nautilus when she was in port. I remember being scared to death after watching about ten minutes of the "Thing that wouldn't Die" and being in the lobby with about a dozen other kids, phoning their parents to come get them. Ah yeah, Clark AFB and the PI; some great experiences. Thanks for jolting my memories. Scott Chase

Terry-- My great grandmother was Julia Etta Ballard Cecil (1851-1925). She spent her entire life in Nelson County, Kentucky. She was also raised as a Catholic and probably her ancestors were part of the Catholic migration west from Maryland. Probably no relation to your Ballards. However, there will be a reunion for Cecil/Cissell, Johnson/Johnston, Ballard, Crabtree, Dailey/Daly, Berry and related families in July in Kentucky.

Do you remember the movie, Merriels (sp) Maruaders that was made on Clark with Jeff Chamd der, Peter Brown, Andy Dugan, Ty Hardin, etc? A large part of it was filmed on Lilly Hill adjacent to the Top 3 Club. During breaks in the filming the actors would come into the club and have coffee (or whatever) and we often talked with them.

I believe your story. I was born and raised in Arayat, Pampanga. Clark Air Base and the neighboring towns have radically changed since the 60's. Although there are still calesas used on the streets of San Fernando, these exist just to preserve the tradion l appearance of the capital. Jeepneys are more colorful now. Buses and taxis are mostly airconditioned. Beer gardens are now called karaoke bars. Kabarets are now disco houses. Try visiting the place once again. I'd love to read a sequel to your story.

I'd never considered reading Watership Down until a 7th grader in my Religious Ed class said it was her favorite book. I asked my husband about the book, and he said I'd probably not like it because it's sad. Then he told me it was about rabbits. This piqued my interest so today I checked the book from the library. 10 chapters into it I had to tear myself away to do housework.... I was worried I wouldnt be able to read the whole book in time to return it, but I dont think that's going to be a problem! I'm just starting it really, and it's totally fascinating. I love the pictures on the website. It'll help me imagine the scenes all the more.

For me, it's odd, being a musician, to dig a book so much. Mostly, I read manuals, being a computer geek. But I really like the book, Watership Down, and that lead me to looking up stuff on it, like your web site. I think you really got something there which can spark more literary interest in people like me, who, as a rule, don't really read many novels. In the music scene, it's the feeling of "it's got a good beat and you can dance to it" that gets to me. I know I'm really missing a lot by not delv ng into lyrics too much, but I think I'm gradually gearing into that direction a bit more these days. Good page you guys got, and I'll definitely check out your links! Thanks for putting it out there! cisco..
