Pilots trained at Brooks beginning in WWI and continuing up until 1960. It was primarily an Air Force medical research center when we were stationed there from 1966 to 1970. Astronaughts went through rigorus testing at Brooks. My unit was a detachment of Air Force Security Service HQ on Kelly AFB.

1969 - Bruce and Tonya with their grandfather Wayne Whitsett. They were Wayne's only grandchildren.

 

In early 1969 we moved out of Brooks Parkway into our new house on Mai Kai Drive, San Antonio. The yard was not in yet. Black Texas mud was our yard. If it looks like chocolate it must be good to eat

Sure be glad when the grass grows! It did and much faster than I thought it would.

Bruce, Mai Kai Drive San Antonio.

Ron Congdon churns the ice cream while wife Jan and daughter Lisa suppervises for Tonya's first birthday party. Ron and Jan were our next door neighbors and the first of our friends in our new neighborhood. Ron was a military policeman at Lackland AFB. Love those socks Ron.

Our bivouac area just off the beach below Ramsey Air Force Base. Our tent is on the right. We were lucky not to be under the cocanut palms. When the wind blew it was bombs away. A two pound cocanut can do some damage to your head.
