I read your message and wondered if you remembered the Youngblood family.(1962 onwards) I was a child at the time living in Whitmore Road, Harrow, and Major Youngblood, his wife and three children, Melissa, Jinks and Susan rented the house next door to us. I used to visit the base with them and had a great time being 'American' - cadillac, huge fridge, barbecues, film shows etc - all unheard of in 1960s England.
they were followed by other families whose names I can't remember but who all became good friends. I would love to contact them again - can you help?
Marilyn,
I'm sorry I can't help you. I did not know the family you were asking about. I arrived in South Ruislip in March 1966, and left in July 1967. Good luck in your search. Joe
I saw your message whilst in my room at the Flamingo Las Vegas. After travelling by car across America ( 6525 miles ) Your message is old but I'm hopeful this gets to you. Do you remember the swan?
Best Regards Ken
Hi Joe,
I was a UK civilian attached to 3rd AF working in the Graphics dept. With Sgt Ned Fredborg, Jim Boyle, Kent Twitchell, etc. I am currently in Las Vegas Nevada at the end of a long holiday and something made my think of Jim Boyle. I replied to a very old message he had left but sadly my email was returned undelivered so the trail has gone cold. Kent Twitchell however, is now quiet famous.

Hi
I am trying to trace the families who lived next door to me in Whitmore Rd, Harrow when I was a child in the '60s. The family I remember best were the Youngbloods who must have left in '63 or 4, and with whom I spent many happy times. They were from New York. There was also a lovely family from a southern state and another, I believe, from Philadelphia. I cannot remember their names, but would love to hear news of anyone.
I would also be pleased to hear your memories, Joe, as you obviously lived nearby. I remember the base well as I used to go there with the Youngbloods, and I particularly remember their huge American car - a cadillac perhaps?
I look forward to hearing from you and send you my very best wishes
