i am working on the genealogy of my soon to be ex-husband john carl (pat) holmes uscg
retired bmcs. in the early sixties somewhere between 1962 - 1967 he was stationed on the island of
Palau. he had a daughter by the name of Patricia. i am trying to locate her mother Rosemary for
birth and death information of our children's sister and any photos to include in the genealogy of
Rosemary, Patricia and their family. as a coast guard wife of 32 years i loved the travel and the
moving from station to station. the life of a coast guard wife was exciting and sadly missed by both
of us after pat's retirement in 1989. he just grew unhappy and tried to find happiness somewhere
else. as a married couple in 1972 we were stationed in sault ste. marie, michigan from 1972-1976;
cape may, new jersey 1976-1978,; block island, rhode island 1978-1980; st. louis, missouri 1980-1985

recognize some of the names in your post. Mr Jorgenson was the CO while I was there. I also remember
Peewee, I sold him my Honda 90 (Nice Bike, had almost cut off two of my fingers in the chain and
sprocket). I think I remember an ET named Anderson amd wish I could remember the name of the
Corpsman that saved my fingers with great skill. I think I recognize FN Hillary as probably my
replacement. Anyone know what became of Cal (Callahan) SN turned FN? Cal was a great guy, who always
talked about just living in flop houses in California when he got out. Man can't believe my memory
has gone so much I can't remember the MK1 and the ET1 or electrician 1 that were the guys I worked
and played with. I can see their faces but the names still escape me.. Hey I want to know what
strange things were the ETs seeing in the timer rooms especially after midnight? I did't see
anything in the strange category on Anguar but did have a very strange encounter on Yap one night.
Hey Connie S. I m sure my shipmates have told you plenty about Palau but if you didn't get a reply I
would be glad to share what I know about it, just drop me a line. Smooth Sailing to All!

I visited angaur last summer. The jungle has taken the antenna field but the buildings
are still there. These's a small power plant built by the Palau goverment a couple years ago near
where the fuel tank farm used to be. Anguar now has power 24/7 and you can call the island direct
dial from here in the US. We were there for the full moon in July and the boonie crabs came out of
the woods by the millions. My wife and daughter caught a bunch by hand, tore off their legs and
carried them home to eat. A construction crew was in downtown angaur paving enough of the streets
to quadruple your chances of getting run over by a speeding vehicle. The ocean and the reef are
still beautiful and the island has a lot more big coconut trees. The Todi (lighthouse) has fifty
years worth of grafitti(both palaun and coastie) on it but anyone who goes there will recognize
somebody's name. There are some new monuments, the Japanese have put a new monument by black beach
and there is a monument to the US Army Wildcat Division at the end of the airstrip on the opposite
side from the Coast Guard station. It's still a good place to enjoy the tropical breezes, talk
stories and have a few beers. Steve Trenchard '75

ANGUAR REUNION UPDATE!! Hope everyone is ready for the Holidays and the Reunion. I
know that a few of you getting this email are not going to be able to attend but there is info here
you may want anyway. There is a slight change in plans, which should make things better for
everyone. Rather than have the reunion on Coast Guard Island, I have arranged to have it at the
hotel. Everything else is the same....same time...same date. At the moment, I have it set up for
beer and wine, and soda. If there are people who want hard drinks, I will hire a Bartender, for a
no-host bar for the hard stuff. PLEAAAASE let me know ASAP, if you want a bartender. The menu
is almost set, and will be heavy snacks...buffet style. I had patches made...one each to each paid
attendee...extras will be $4 each during the reunion...$5 each if I have to mail it you. If you
paid to attend and can't make it, I will mail your patch or patches to you along with the color
photo (see next paragraph) and the mailing list (see below.) I am having 30 aerial color photos
made...I figure 1 per family unit....extras will be downloadable from the Internet, as will other
pictures, both of the station then and now? and of the reunion. I am also planning to hand out a
mailing list with names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates served, ranks/rates..etc.
If for whatever reason, you don't want to share...let me know...ASAP. This will go to the printer
before the reunion. Aloha style attire is appropriate.....and encouraged! Please bring photos,
scapbooks, slides, VCR tapes, etc.....let me know what you are bringing so I can try to have the AV
support there. If you are flying into Oakland, the Hotel has a shuttle, call them 536-6633 when
you get off the plane. There may be a courtesy phone, but at worst its only a local call. If you
are driving, the Hotel is right at the end of the 16th street off ramp on I-880 southbound in
Oakland. If you are coming from the south on 880, the easiest way is to go past the Hotel, exit
at 5th Ave/Embarcadero and then loop back. There is a shorter way, but its hard to do. If you want
to try it, call me and I will try to explain it. Availability of the Hotel group rate has been
extended to Dec 27th! Happy Holidays and see you soon! Tj

it). I was FNEN at the time. It was a great time on both islands, but have since learned so much
about Anguar and Yap that I missed. I want to go back and take my wife one day so she can see the
place that I have talked about so much. If anyone does go back make sure to go over to Peleliu,
scene of one of the bloodiest battles of WWII.

Holiday Greetings from California. As some of you know, last March I posted a note on
Fred's Place suggesting that the 25th anniversary of the decommissioning of the Anguar Loran
Station would be a good time for a reunion. I'm sure most of you have the Anguar Re-union Hall
bookmarked, but in case you don't, here is the link:
http://www.fredsplace.org/reunion/d14/0130.shtml. In addition to the subsequent posts that appear
on Fred's Place, I got jerry302@comcast.net four other people who are interested. There are 20
some people on this email distribution list, including everyone who has posted in the Anguar
reunion hall. Jan 8th 2003 is going to get here faster than we think, and its time to get
serious about getting this organized. I met with Russ Buckmaster in Anchorage and Charlie Barber
in Kodiak Alaska last winter and we gave some thought to have a organization meeting somewhere this
winter to get going. However, we are spread out all over the place: Cape Cod, NJ, Northern VA,
Guam, Hawaii, Whidbey Is., Guam, Koror...you get the idea. I am sure all of us have busy lives,
and mine got a lot busier after 9/11. I think we need some sort of committee to get this going.
Mostly we need people with the time and resources to find other crewmembers. I was thinking the
former XOs probably have the best network and I think there are at least two former XOs on this
list. Bob Schnell in NJ has volunteered to 'take the bull by the horns' to use his phrase. Red
Swords in Koror has volunteered to provide any local knowledge needed. Anyone who is willing to
help organize this should contact me or Bob at sch52jas@aol.com I am up for PCS assignment this
summer, and possible retirement, so any help will be most welcome. I hope all of you have a
wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Tj Mackell p.s. I got several mail delivery failures on
the email version of this.

Was on Anguar many times as M&R Det. '59 thru '61 from Guam. Fathered my daughter and we
are happily re-united. Went back in the middle 60's to build the new station and tower. My
building to build was the mess hall and one cystern. We built our quarters behind the site of the
station. We hired the Palauans to work for us, and bought sand from the village chief for concrete
and mortar. Station was started I believe in Oct. of '65 and completed in Aug. of 66. Memory is
fading so don't hold me to that. We worked 10-12 hours days 7 days a week, but did get a half day
off the 4th of July. Drank a lot of beers, chewed beetle nut and got crazy on JJ. Many fond
memories. Love to hear from anyone of that was stationed there....

TJ,just got back from Palau. Sec. of Ed. position was tempting but I forego the offer
since my son has one more year in college. Further, my current boss did not accept my resignation.
Your idea about re-union at LORSTA Angaur is great. Good luck P.S. Frank Murphy is my brother-in-
law. Felisa

Greetings: Jan 8th 2003 will mark the 25th anniversary of the closing of LORSTA Anguar.
It seems like a suitable time for a re-union. I am trying to find out how much interest there is in
having a re-union at the old LORSTA on that date. My guess is that we could get a block of rooms at
a hotel in Koror and charter a boat to take us over for the day. I have no idea about a cost, but I
would guess that $4000 per person would be more than enough. If interested drop me a note at
Tj_M@prodigy.net. I am not asking for a committment, just interest. Thanks

Hello, My name is Frank Murphy (Sparks) 1967-68. My wife is Marina - a daughter of Masao
Gulibert - Masao owns the Green Pine Store that we went for beer when the station ran out. I have
returned to Angaur many times over the years. I was just there the weekend of 7-16-00. The Coast
Guard Station is really grown up now. They are building a power plant in the grown up field where we
used to play ball located in front of what had been Quanset Huts prior to my time and very near Red
Beach. Masao is very old and sick - not expected to make it much longer. I have a brother-in-law -
Steven Swords - who was an ET there in '77 amd '78. I was just at his home in Koror. He is an
Engineer and in private practice there. His wife is Faith - another daughter of Masao. He is now
more Palauan than American. Great guy. I live in Florida. Marina and I were married in the church on
Angaur. I welcome contact from anyone with memories of Palau.

Hi, Anyone for beetlenut? Was on Palau Aug. '63 - Aug. '64. It was like a paradise for a
young Coastie to be stationed in. Was a Seaman BM Striker while stationed there. Many nites fought
off the monkeys while walking from the village back to the station. Many a good time at the Boonie
Hut. Would like to hear from anyone there during that era. Does anyone remember Lou?

I was at Guam COMARSEC awaiting further assignment in 1966 when a yeoman in personnel, who
happened to be from my home town, sought me out. He said, 'Kid, I'm gonna do you a big favor,' and
handed me orders to Anguar (on my service record, it's officially referred to as 'Lorsta Palau').
Was there till April 1967. Man, you talk about Paradise! We worked hard and we played hard. I got
island fever and have never been the same since. Anybody out there ever think about taking a trip
back over to see what the islands are like now?

I was on Anguar for the closing ceremonies when the station was decommissioned and turned
over to the Palau Government. Was on the last flight back to Guam. We all boarded and made the
flight with mixed emotions - sorry to leave such a wonderful site in Paradise, but glad to get back
to the 'big city' of Agana, and on to Honolulu. Took publicity photos for the Pacific Shield, since
I lived in Guam, but did my active duty at the District 14 Public Affairs Office.

Made several DI (Electronics) inspections of Anguar while in district (eee) between
1971-72. Great place. Was on first USAF C-130 log flight to land there. They broke nearly all the
eggs on the pallet, while they were trying to do a Vietnam in/out landing. For the guy who has
Anguar confused with Ulithi, which was replaced with Yap for Loran-A when Loran-C went into effect
in 1964 in the Far East, no, Anguar and Ulithi are not the same place.

After over 30 years my memory is fading. I believe Anguar was also known as Ulithi on the
W. Caroline island of Fallop (sp?). Please anyone clarify. Did my tour there in 60-61 as ET3.
