| "Sea Stories: Reminiscences of a Navy Radioman
1952-1977" by Larry Bucher 59-61, 69-71, 93-95 US Navy NavCommSta Tract C, Tract F U.S. Embassy  Click to view larger image Larry's book is available from the publisher at the Author House Book Store. One hundred of its 426 pages are devoted to his two Navy tours in Asmara. It is also available from the usual outlets – Amazon, Barnes & Noble, bookstore orders, etc. and the price is $22.00. It is a little cheaper directly from the publisher, but they tack on a hefty one-book "shipping" charge, so if you have anything else to order from Amazon you’re better off with them. |

| I have just written a book about my experiences at
Kagnew Station in the early 70’s and when I returned to Asmara and Kagnew
Station in 2001. The story centers around a little girl I met there when I was
playing golf and how she and her family have impacted my life. I wrote the book
for her family, but a few of my friends from Kagnew have read it and liked it
very much, so I am letting you know about the book. There are a number of pictures from the 70’s. In 2001, I was able to get on Kagnew and took many pictures of old station. There are also a number of recent pictures from Asmara, the road to Massawa, and Massawa. If you would like to learn a little more about the book, you can use the following link: The author's royalties are being donated to Letekidan's children and to the Comboni nuns who help with the orphanage in Asmara. |
| I would like to post something for sale on your web
site if possible. It is a recording of the AFRTS radio station broadcast I made
while I was there. I have some great ads and lots of music from that time. The
date as best I can guess is the “fall” of 1971. I had CD’s (4)
made from the recording I have on reel-to-reel tape deck. I am making it
available to anyone that would like to have a set. I only want to recover the
costs of making/shipping etc. of the CD’s. I am asking $20.00 for the
CD’s and any profits that are made will be sent to the USO. Tandum Associates Commercial & Residential Lending 972-943-9513 (office) 214-405-7812 (cell) 972-758-1662 (fax) |
