| On this date I received an email from Ike saying, "I am the one standing on the speeder with my shirt opened." The photo to the left is Ike standing on the speeder at Camp-I, Shoal Harbour gravel pit, Newfoundland in 1953. This close up was taken from the photo that appears in the chapter, Camp-I, Page-1, on this web site. Ike had reported to 1stCommunications Construction Squadron back in 1952 when the squadron was still at Griffiss AFB, Rome, N.Y. He and Jerome Young had attended Installer Cableman School at Francis E. Warren AFB, Cheyenne, Wyo together prior to reporting to 1st Comm. Ike sent me a few photographs taken in Newfoundland and at Francis E. Warren AFB and they are posted here. He also had a Argus C-3 camera. |
| January, 1952. In the photo on the left is Ike and James Seals. The photo on the right is Jerome Young standing on the pole with an unidentified airman sitting in a cable car. Seals along with Ike and Jerome will report to 1st Communications Construction Squadron after their training here in the 3450 Technical Training Wing at Francis E. Warren AFB at Cheyenne, Wyo. On this day they are learning to climb into a cable car after climbing the pole with their climbers. The cable car was used for riding the messenger strand. |

| Spring, 1953. Camp-I at the Shoal Harbour gravel pit, Newfoundland. Ike is watching Nagle back fill around a new pole that has just been set. Ike captioned this photo as their first hole. |
| Good thing the instructor missed out on the maneuver above. |
