It may not mean anything to anyone else. but figured I would post
My dads jacket.
My dad was in the service, and worked the flight line at Alvin Callender Field.
When he did, he knew and was fiends with Mr Harry Lee. Who was Base Security
Mr Howard Pittman who started JPSO's K-9. He used to bring dogs, with him
Mr. Pittman last In heard was a preacher.
David Ferrie was a pilot there, Dad said he was quite and kept to him self.
The Cuban Missile crisis was on when he worked there as well.
When I look at it that was a cool time period he worked there in.
He had 2 one that was very dirty. And this one as he used it only when clean jobs were at hand
So this one survived in great shape. I have one OD pant, and shirt as well
He later wore it at Michoud Assembly Facility to go back and forth to work. That is till let go in 1969, when everyone was let go.
So remember seeing him leave for work and come home with it on
It has a built in hood, you unzip the collar and pull it out. Draw strings at neck. But it buttons up, No zipper! As it is alight weight jacket. But has buttons inside to add a liner A guy at the CMP board sent me a new in pack liner 2 years ago and I have used it some since.
Last 2 weeks 100% I bet look like a nut job though
And one cook picture of my brother and I when dad was transferred to Huntsville to work on something other than the boosters
