Show Loyd T. Adamson October 20 2000 WIN: Oh, he is, uh huh? And always has been. LOYD: Yeah. And that was on my Labrador tour there. I had ten sled dogs up ther . WIN: Oh, you did? LOYD: Oh, yeah. I cut them into-1 had two five dog teams, but if I needed to haul something heavy I could connect all ten of them together. WIN: And so how long were you there?

I bought him a harness for the dogs and we'd harness him up to a sun sled and the dog would pull them all over the base there toward the Hudson Bay store. Up there I was flying an SA-16. This was a SA-16. It was tri-phibious. I could land on water, land, ice, or snow. That was quite a tour. I enjoyed Labrador. I lucked out on a lot of the bases I was at. WIN: So where else have you been stationed other than Labrador? LOYD: Well, twice in Alaska when I was flying tankers, the KC-97. I was in Alaska before the big earthquake up there, and I was in Alaska after the earthquake. And one of my sons still lives in Alaska, my oldest son. Bob. He got a degree in biology and he went to work for the Idaho Fish & Game as a biologist. And that's-! lived in Idaho for quite awhile before I moved down here. And he went to Alaska. The first winter I put in that place we didn't have this 42 |
