| Kagnew Station Brochure
Jim Boyce sent in a file which is listed as the Kagnew Station Brochure, forward by Col. Keene Wilson and is probably from 1965. There is a notation for the photographs for December 1964. It is a welcome brochure for "newguys" and is something most all of us got when we arrived. Great addition to the page, thanks Jim! |

| Linda Caudell-Feagan, our resident
reunion committe dependent has been going through some boxes and came up with a
great find! It's the September 1972 issue of the ASA publication, "The
Hallmark." This contained the article "ASA Leaves Kagnew" and was written by
CPT John Rasmuson, and researched by SP5 Joe DiVeglia (currently on roster) and
SP5 John Ryan. It's a great article and has an outstanding aerial view of
Kagnew Station from over the housing. The files are a little on the large side but reducing them in size would have taken away some of the impact of seeing them. Larger is better!

| The "Handbook of Eritrea" was handed out to Asmara veterans at Radio Marina. Jerry Pry has sent in his copy of the handbook which was printed in 1951. You can now view that book here and even download the pictures if you'd like to print them for a copy yourself. | |
| Joe Ewing of STRATCOM has provided the Kagnew page with a rare copy of "Ethiopia, The Hidden Empire." This magazine was published by Ethiopian Airlines in Italy in March 1972, and is full of information and pictures about Ethiopia. He also sent in an Army Digest from September, 1970 which has a great article about the communications efforts of STRATCOM. | |
