Kelly will live forever in our hearts and in our memories. Lydia J. Lopez lydia.lopez@afpc.randolph.af.mil 1982-1997 Randolph Kelly AFB TX......where TEAMWORK really meant something. There is no place like it. To all the friends that I made there, I glad to have had the pleasure of having you as a part of my life, and may we always remain friends. From the Pass and ID Office where I began my civil service career, through my days in MMI and MMT, my CREA/MMED/TILD paperclip, rubberband, and "Uno" days (you know who you are), to busting down bulk racks in the T.O. warehouse on East Kelly in the middle of summer (long live PTOWS!) ...(Gilbert Flores, the best supervisor, die-hard Dallas Cowboys/SPURS buddy and friend, may you rest in peace), and back to TILD before I left, I wouldn't trade a day. May we always keep in contact wherever the roads may lead, and may our paths cross again. Best of luck to all. George Guillen guillen.g@nrst.navy.mil 1980-2000 Other Government I at the end of the world, Kingsville, Texas. Richard Costancio rcostanc@tampabay.com 1985-1995 (Retired) Recently moved from San Antonio to Palm Harbor Florida, where fishing is within walking distance.

Ortiz tony.ortiz@brooks.af.mil 1972-1997 Brooks Although Kelly AFB no longer exists physically, the frendships and opportunities we gained along the way will remain in our hearts and minds forever. To all my friends.......til we meet again. Gayle Crane mzzuzmasterpc@aol.com 1984 - 2000 (Retired) Retirement has been bitter-sweet. I miss all of my friends who had to move with the job, but, since I've retired, I've gotten to spend quality time with my kids. I've never been able to do that before and it's been "PRICELESS". I miss all of the friends I made at Kelly, but I wouldn't trade what I've had the last two years for anything in the world. David Gonzales dgng1108@earthlink.net 20 Corpus Just happy to be back in Texas after being transfered to Hill A.F.B. for a little over a year and now I'm in Corpus Christi. The best of luck to all who chose to go with the private sector' and good luck to everyone that are still at other bases all over the United States. Orval Ward ocward@msn.com 1966-1993 (Retired) Ray Camacho raynaldo.camacho@tinker.af.mil 1985-1999 Tinker For those of us who chose to continue our civil service careers at one of the other of the three remaining ALC's, or at any other government job for that matter, let's show them what Kelly was realy about. And if by chance you end up at a place that the BRAC Commission deems not important enough to our county's defense or security,please don't put your fellow co-workers down but help them. Use your experience that you gained through the Kelly closing to advice them on the decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Don't worry about what should've been or could've been but continue to strive forward. Keep educating your children,remember they are our next generation. May God help us all and our Great Nation and may He continue blessing us greatly.

SAN MIGUEL Carmen.SanMigel@hill.af.mil 1978-2000 Hill There is no place like Kelly AFB and there will never be. They (politicians) shut down the wrong base. After a year of me trying to adjust and tired already of hearing, "we'll do it Monday" or "let's do it tomorrow" makes me wonder why this place is still open.

The task wasn't always well defined, but there were always new challenges to anyone who wanted to make an impact. "Keep 'em flying" was always my target for the day.

Yes, things are different and done differently, but we are all learning. For the most part, the people here at work have been very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The businesses in the have been very gald to have us. We would not have ever wished for Kelly to close and for this to happen, but since it, I think that we made the right choice in choosing Georgia. Yes, we miss our family and friends, but we will keep in touch. God Bless Tpo All George Hardiman george.hardiman@robins.af.mil 1976-1999 Robins Kelly, one of a kind...was a top notch base... in a top notch city... with top notch friends,... acquaintances,... and co-workers.

Don Elliott charles.elliott@trw.com 1964-1989 Private Sector mary jo gonzales maryjogonzales@hotmail.com 1964-1993 (Retired) Marsha Bell marsha.bell@randolph.af.mil Sep77- Mar01 Lackland Working on Lackland AF Base for DeCA. I was born on Kelly, work in bldg 43, 171 and 360. 23 years of Contracting Pamela Pons pamela.pons@brooks.af.mil 19 Brooks Raul Ramon raul.ramon@trw.com 1986-1999 Private Sector I left Kelly two years ago to work for TRW. My job was transferring first to Hill, then to Robins, but neither one was an option for me. My twin 5 year old boys are Autistic and undergoing intensive occupational, physical, speech, and behavioral therapies, not to mention being enrolled in year 'round schooling. I just couldn't pull them away from the doctors and therapists who've worked so hard with them the past 3 years. The San Antonio medical community has so much to offer regarding research, assistance programs, types of therapies, etc. The doctors recommended we continue their programs, that packing up and moving across the country to a location without established programs would cause regression now and also affect them later in life. I was very fortunate to be offered a position by Jan Schultz, who is now my boss. It's been a fun two years; I'm doing much the same type of work, but of course from a contractor's perspective. That means each one of us is essentially a program manager--responsible for everything--contract negotiation, budget, schedule, employees' time, technical content, and, always the tough part, profit. We're all actively involved in marketing, which is something new to a former gov't employee. We are encouraged to keep an eye on find business potentials, especially in areas new to the company, like e-business. Anyway, I still think back to the Kelly days, back to those early friendships and good times. I still can't believe the base was closed! All that history, all the glory......all gone! Life has forced me to look to the future, providing the best I can for my family. Robin, my wife, and I also have a two year old daughter, who's an absolute angel. She's already helping with the boys, getting them dressed, looking out for them. She always knows what they want, which is difficult since they cannot talk. She attends all their therapies, and incorporates into her daily activities what she's learned at the session. She's only two, so it's trulyazing to see! God has blessed me with a beautiful family, and the burden He's placed on our shoulders has transformed into an ability to focus on our duty as parents of disabled children, to love absolutely without condition, to cherish every moment of the day, to celebrate the tiniest, seemingly insignificant things in life most people never notice, to never give up, no matter what's stacked up against you, and, above all, to believe in miracles. Nicholas, Matthew, Marissa, Robin, and I wish all is well to those who worked at Kelly. Hope to hear from some of you soon!

Back to work on Monday at Wright-Patterson AFB. What an emotional rollercoaster we went through during our visit. We had the opportunity to visit with family and our friends from Kelly AFB. Enjoyed our breakfast at Rosita's on General McMullen with some of my wife's former co-workers from the Small Business Office (BC) and the "final Happy Hour" at the "Laboratory" with over 100 of our former co-workers from Contracting (PM/PK). We also did Luby's, Bill Miller's, Taco Cabana, HEB, SeaWorld and Fiesta Texas. Most importantly, we attended the closing ceremonies at Kelly AFB on the afternoon of the 13th and the dinner and program that evening. It was a very emotional event but it was also great to see a lot of our friends. Hasta luego!

Hey Paul, member those c-5 landing gear days and the environmental services office for the aircraft rework facilities BUT Where do i begin for Kelly and our community? behind the powers of NAFTA, the capitalists, lobbyists, and the greed for more money, Kelly & the military, Texas, And the san antonio community takes it between the eyes. Greed does not care about national defense unless they are the ones making the money. Greed does not care about quality of service, or life. Greed is about $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and let it keep rolling in. What is the difference between a dope pusher and greedy people. For the greedy monster of the world, there is a poem called "The Unknown Citizen". Greed is too busy raking the $$$$$$$$$$$$ to read it. Greed doesn't have a country, a friend, or El Corazon. No, I didn't say Auto Zone. Peace and Love, Good luck to all my Kelly Comrades and may God really and trully bless our country. Many of us are proud of our RED, WHITE & BLUE.

Most of my Kelly career was with the SA-ALC, where I worked in the exercise office and Chief of the Readiness Exercise Evaluation Team.

I enjoyed all the great people I worked with and ejnjoyed them even more when I use to see them at the N.C.O. while I was singing with a band called "Machismo" and with The Ruco Villarreal Orchestra. If the walls at the N.C.O. could talk believe me there would be some tales to tell. I know that Robins is not Kelly and Warner Robins is not San Antonio but nevertheless Iv'e met some real fine "Jawja" people that have treated me real nice and I thank them for that. While I was in San Antonio I was real active in the old Mexican sport known to us as "La Charreada" and thank God that I have been able to show the some of the people of Georgia a little bit of the sport I so dearly miss and love. Georgia may never be like the "Great Nation of Texas" but it is still a nice place to live and raise a family. If anything my horse "Regalo" is pretty happy to be here. That means he can take a break from the weekend charreadas I'd put him through in San Antonio. Nuff said and "Que Viva Kelly Para Siempre"!!!!!!!!

Martie Reyes Carreon martie56@juno.com www.itilink.com/martie.iti 1973-1987 I started at Kelly in the summer of 1973 as a YOP (Youth Opportunity Program)and worked primarily in B-171, in Personnel, with many fine people. Eventually I came aboard Kelly as a civil servant doing Data Transcribing in B-375. I then applied for Jet Engine Mechanic Helper and worked in B-360 for 5 years and worked alongside many good friends on the F-15/F-16 Jet Engine Core. It was hard work, with many long hours put in to meet our production schedule, month after month, but it helped to create alot of memories. My dad, sister, uncle and some cousins also worked at Kelly. So you can see how Kelly, indeed, was a family traditon for many hispanic families. Kelly was more than a workplace, it was like a home away from home for many of us. Life revolved around Kelly. After work, especially on Fridays, we would meet at the park for parties. Although I left Kelly and Texas 14 years ago, I still at times, miss it. Now that Kelly AFB is no more, I sadly realize I shall never again be able to go back into Kelly and walk into B-360 to visit with the many co-workers/friends I worked side-by-side with. I hope that through this forum and others we can still keep in touch, even if from a distance. Let Kelly live in our hearts and in our memories!

AL MORENO oreno1@ccad.army .mil 68-01 Corpus The "Dreaded" day has finally arrived. Six years ago, that was too far away to envision. On Friday 13th, to boot! An omen? Whether it was political, intended, or roll of the dice, we the "Family" know in our hearts it was undeserved. So many years, so many generations have come and gone. Many made their mark and truly helped others, some just themselves. But as a Family, we had growing pains and sibling rivalry. For those with no conscience, judgement always comes at the end. For workers that still work at Gov't jobs, be ever vigilant and protect your job. More rounds of closure are on the horizon. Stand up and tell them to Stop Wastingerica's Money on Privatization. For "Kelly USA", good luck to your future and truly help your new Family. Nurture them, appreciate them and most importantly pay them their due. For new family members, don't accept just supplemental retirement pay. Band together and demand "true living wages". For Kelly, thanks to all the memories, thanks for allowing many of us a standard of living for self and family for future successes. Here's to you, Grand Lady that you have been. Thanks for giving and giving till there was no more. Muchas Gracias, and Ya se Acabo, Kelly Field. Jaye Veracruz jveraruz@hom.net 1985-1998 Robins Joe R.

Kelly had plenty of room to expand and absorb new work loads from other base being closed but still having operations that would have to be moved somewhere else.

It started out as an idea for a gift for some of my LDE friends, but I decided to take the risk and make it available to the patriotic men and women who made Kelly what it was. Anyway, It made its first appearance when we presented it in its solid Sterling Silver version to Charles Jurek at his retirement luncheon in late March, 2001. He thought he had only bought the gold plate/nickle plate version - he was really surprised! There are about 75 of these buckles floating around in Texas, Oklahoma, Utah and Georgia, being proudly worn by ex-Kellyites. It is beautiful, has color, shows our Texas Pride, the SA-ALC Logo, the Alamo and the Texas flag in the outline of our great State of Texas. If anyone is interested in owning one of these buckles, just let me know via email.

Thru that position and my avocation of music with my band "Southern Comfort" and work with the "Kelly All-Stars", I have met some of the most caring and loyal people one could ever hope to meet. Kelly AFB workers! From blue collar to white collar, from stripes to stars, they were all great!

If at all possible, do you think we could develop on this site an "Alpha" listing of our former co-workers with perhaps e-mail address, home address,hm and wk phone #'s? I think it would be wonderful if one could look under the "A's" for Antwine or whom ever. Either we insert the names and e-mail addresses from the entries here in the guest book/log book or have those wanting to participate log in their own information. I know this might seem to be an extra burden but perhaps we could look into establishing a Ex-Kellyite Assoc. that would have volunteers to update the site and establish a "Bulletin Board" for important information or "News Worthy" info. on meetings, re-unions, deaths, health issues, etc. I think you have created more than just a Kelly History site, it has the beginings of something much more powerful and worthwhile to us all down the line. We have knowlegable people here that can provide a wealth of information in just about any category or subject. Information that may be beneficial to our health or of financial interest.

I was a Data Transcriber (Keypunch for those of us that remember the Dinosaur computer age). In 1978-82 I worked in building 171 (when somking was in and a cloud hung over every desk) as a T.O. and Supply clerk. In 1983 I moved to bldg 312 as a Production Controller and in 1989 I worked in bldg 308 in the TQM office. By 1995 I was in bldg 1530 as a Program Analyst and before I retired in 2000 I was back in 171 as a Computer Specialist. I miss the kelly comaradarie that was unique to this Base. I miss the Kelly Festival, The Park celebrations, the friends, the special jobs we all held. The Stories we all shared. The buildings we saw built or the buildings that came down. I remember the Open House that attracted thousands. I was a tour guide and enjoyed talking about all the uniqueness of Kelly. From the Bungalows that were built from old plane boxes in the 1920's to the old post office building where supposedly ghosts from the 1950's could still be heard laughing. I remember our Base growing in so many ways. Not without some growing pains of course, like the plane that crashed and other events. But, for the most part there was a lot of happiness thoughout. I remember the old timers talking about Frio City Road going straight through Kelly and across the runway that is now there. I remember the old Kelly yearbooks and pictures of employees chasing after Jack Rabbits on the runway and cleaning up after a flood. But most of all I remember how we stuck together. How we we helped each other and the community. Be it through actual work and CFC; regardless, we were there. Oh, sure there will always be those that will criticize and complain about the kelly worker but, those are the ones that never worked there. Complainers who then and now enjoy the freedom that this country provides them. The Freedom that every man and woman at Kelly provided with our sweat, our tears and sometimes our blood. Through Wars and Conflicts we were there never backing down. Now, they say that kelly is no more because the flag came down on13th. But that is not so! "No Te Acabaras Kelly" "Kelly Will Not End" It cannot! It is impossible! Kelly is not a collection of buildings but a spirit that lives within us all. The spirit that was once called Kelly, the place on Duncan Drive now has a new home on cyberspace and perhaps in events yet to come. May that spirit live on forever. May God bless all of your wherever you may be. Keep In Touch. Would love to hear from you! Adios!

We also went to Dallas where the BRAC closure operatives were to make their final decisions. We thought we might have a change, but alas, it was not to be! Our hearts a sadded, when we think of13, 2001, but we must now look on the future and leave the past behind.

Matthews stephen.matthews@eglin.af.mil 1980-2001 Other Government I was an employee at Kelly AFB for 21 years. On the day that Kelly AFB closes, 13 Jul 2001, I will be celebrating my 50th birthday at my birthplace, Eglin AFB, Florida. I was one who decided to relocate to another base after stretching my time out as long as I could at Kelly AFB. When I received my RIF/Letter of Separation in February 2001, I broadened my Geographical Locations with the Priority Placement Program (PPP) and in the nick of time I received an offer from Eglin AFB to work with the 46th Test Wing in the Modifications Branch as an Aerospace Engineering Technician. I will miss good ol' Kelly AFB, but life goes on. We have situations, circumstances, and inconveniences in life that are beyond our control, but we must press on and accept them and live life to it's fullest. I have grown through my experience of relocation. It is not an easy thing to do which can create much stress but I have discovered that if you leave it in God's care all will be well.

I was relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana with The Department of the Navy. Everything was going wrong since the first day when I reported to check in and I had to work across the river which is New Orleans. I had to take a navy boat, because it was less time consuming. I had problems with my pay checks, still at the hotel, the kids could not attend school because we did not live in a residence. One went in early and the other two hrs. later, it was hard on my son that I had to sent him back home for depression and anxiety, besides other things. This people did not know if my save pay was for good or what, nor my cost-of-living. It tooks me three years by the time they got everything together and my paid back plus overtime. I still did not get my leave after missing for my kids and myself from all this. I had to borrow from my TSP inorder to paid them back and plus tried to pay all my credit cards and other bills. It's hard when you can not get help from other services because of your income or you work for the government. I'm still a GS-3/00 but getting paid for WG-6.

There is only one radio station here and the music is not "Tejano" and it goes off about 7:00 p.m. It would be a pleasure to have the radio station Tejano "107" come play some of our music and show them all.

Most importantly, there ain't no Mexican Restaurants that know what enchiladas are supposed to look like, let alone what they are supposed to taste like.

I left KAFB to work at DCM-Thiokol in Utah in Feb 97 until April 01. From April 01 though June 01, I worked at Hill AFB. There, I met several unhappy Kelly workers and there were some big eye openers. First, Hill AFB was hoping to get 800 workers from KAFB and only received approximately 100. One of the biggest reasons why former KAFB employees are unhappy is the state is a high cost of living, high tax, and low wage state. Also, the pay scale for that region is less than San Antonio's. At any rate I'm glad to be out of that Third World Country and back in Texas. I working for DCM-Bell Helicopter and hope to find something better. One of the best ways I found to adjust to the new surroundings was to take advantage of the travel opportunities in the area. At any rate, I hope everyone is doing fine, hang in there, and keep looking at the gov't websites for empoyment opportunities.. Steve R.

They are now finding that the closure was not a proper decision as the gaining centers cannot handle the workloads and have not at this time (June 2001) not been able to even get part of the transfer workload up and going. The new centers are not aware of the real problems for the workloads to be up and operational. Hill AFB will not get these workloads going with the transferring employees finding new jobs and getting away from the mismanagement activity that is going on here at this facility. Brenda S.

I experienced a few bad personalities with co-workers and even supervisors, as we all do from time to time, but no way in comparison to here! Now there is a few directorates who have great people like the place I recently started working at (LG). So I guess I can say, they're not all bad. Also, it's farther than when I worked for Kelly. So if anyone out there have any connections, please keep me in mind. Thank-you to the person who created this e-mail system, Great Job! And most important to everyone - God be with you always, as we the people from Kelly will always have that special connection. When we come across an X-Kelly employee, there's just that automatic spark! I know that I'm not only speaking for myself, but I know that ALL of you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Irene Vidal evidal@ccad.army.mil 1988-1999 Corpus Kelly employees have found out several facts that we took for granted as part of our jobs/our environment: First,that there is no other city like San Antonio (I work only 2 1/2 hrs away and there the culture & good mexican food is not the same)Second, that we are accountable, professionally trained and reflect that knowledge with pride respect and assertiveness where ever we go (unfortunately these are perceived as threats rather than assets).Third that we have been taught to be strong like the reed and bend so that we can come back to our roots intact. I wish government would take a good look at all the accomplishments of Kelly employees/military and realize that one should not destroy what is not broken;instead fix what is already broken (talk to those who relocated )Last, that Kelly AFB was the finest and it's people the most dedicated that kept deligently working/supporting AF through the BRAC years same as always and continue to do so wherever we go.

We worked hard and we played hard too. Working in the Command Center during Desert Shield and Desert Storm was one of my proudest moments during my DoD career. Proved that military and civilian can co-exist as one strong team to get our mission accomplished. Also as an Industrial Engineer Tech. I supported the lastest A/C technology, prototyping B-1B, F-16, and F-15 Fuel components. Climbing aboard and briefed on the B1B, B-52,F-16, C-5,and C-17 A/C. Having my morning coffee on the porch behind the 76th ABW HQ about 10ft from the flightline, watching the pilots crank-up(Hearing those F-100 AB's and smelling the JP-4 in the morning, what a rush!) the fighter jets(F-4,F-5,F-111,F-15,16,F-18 and the "Stealth" too!), giving them a "Thumb's up" and getting a "Thumb's-up" back from them. Working for Colonel Bobby Wright, Retiring the colors at 5pm, standing at attention hearing the Star Spangle Banner play, feeling goose bumps and getting flashbacks of my earlier(74-76) days in Korea(base theater,national athem,F-111's flying over). Awesome.... My "2nd" job was working as a committee Chairman (Facilities and Entertainment) for the "Kelly Fest" for 14 years. At the beginning,we would make the dance floor out of 2x4's and plywood. Towards the end with the help of Roger Ordaz, we were able to get "Red Horse" to make 3 fine "Entertainment Pavilions". Signing-on and watching entertainers such as Lil'Joe, Elmilo, David Lee, Joe Jama, Randy Gariby, Clifford Scott,Augie Myers, La Franz, Trinidad Pan Masters, and most memorable, "Selena", what a gal!
