[edit] Information

If someone reads this,

I wrote the information for the US Military Bases in Eastern Canada (Ernest Harmon AFB and Pepperrill AFB) back in 1988. Everything was referenced and sources sited. The historian who wrote the introduction had given me his permission to put it in the booklet (unpublished) and I am the author and copyright holder. Perhaps someone can let me know what is wrong. I am new at this and am trying to read your instructins for submissions

[edit] Wikify notice

Wayne and others:

I tripped over this article while doing some editing on the Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador page. I hadn't read this discussion section beforehand so I had mentioned in my edit summary that it "appeared to have been copied". Now that the contents are verified and okay, please disregard my previous comment. I've listed this article for "wikifying" so that it might get worked up a bit quicker. Cheers,Plasma east 1 July 2005 02:10 (UTC)

[edit] wikified but I also removed parts

I hope the author doesn't mind but I took most of the passages relating to school faculty changes. I thought these parts would be of little interest to info seekers. Please reinstate if you disagree.

Removed:

Mrs. Barnett moved to the high school and (the late) Hap Holander was promoted to teacher-principal in the junior high. In 1962/63, Mr. Robert Keefaurer joined the staff as assistant principal.

the administration offices were staffed by Mrs. Toon, Mrs Perdue and Mrs Betty Coroner

with the help of Shirley Vincent, Patricia Sudsbury and Julia Reid in clerical positions. Cyril Alexander was the supply clerk at the time. Mr Kidd (elementary school principal) was transferred to Japan and Mr L.E. Davis was the new Principal. In 1964/65 John Middleton became the assistant high school principal and in the administration offices were Mrs. Saul, Mrs. Title, Miss Barnes and Cyril Alexander.

In 1964/65, Greg Hastings was the physical education teacher and coach at the high school and his bride to be was a fourth grade teacher in the elementary school. They were married shortly after leaving the base and are now living in Wilson, North Carolina where Greg is Director of Teacher Education at Atlantic Christian College and Connie is Director of the Children's Center at Wilson County Technical College.

Mrs Edith Raymond taught in the high school in the late 50's and later taught for three years (grade 7&8) in Indiana and 16 years in West Point, Mississippi where she retired in 1980 and is now living on a small farm. Mrs. Barnett returned and Mr. Steve Davis joined the elementary middle school as the audio-visual director.

lots of issues | leave me a message 20:27, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fight for Long Gull Pond

Apart from a mention that engineers from the base used a beach for equipment storage and that one of the people mentioned in this section was stationed on the base, there is no connection of this section to the main article. This is about a private land dispute that occurred over 50 years ago. Even though storage space may be virtually unlimited, this is not a justifictation for the length and level of detail in this section. For example: What value is there in knowing the size of the camping lots, or where the flower shop and tailor shop were located? This section should be removed.

Thanks for your note, this was orignally a unpublished manuscript written in a more persanlable manner trying to bring in personal stories and local events that people on the base/town would be interested in knowing. I will endeavour to work on it again. WayneRay 22:34, 7 August 2007 (UTC)WayneRay

[edit] Lend Lease versus Destroyers for Bases Deal

I'm pretty sure that the agreement that lead to the establishment of the US bases in Newfoundland was the Destroyers for Bases deal not Lend Lease. --Shimbo (talk) 10:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, as there were no objections, I've changed it.--Shimbo (talk) 13:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
