WHITE FALCON
Friday, June 10, 1966
Teen £cene
by Dawn Webb
I really haven’t decided what sort of mood June tows.
June is graduation, with all the smiles and tears and warm
expectations for the future. June is the beginning of sunny
days (?) and the excitement (and sometimes, boredom) of
the vacation. And, June is college bound freshmen, fresh
with their hopes and dreams. And yet, June is some how
sad. Sad, because it is a time of good-bye to newly-made
friends of good-bye to the teachers. Ah yes, the teachers—what would
we have done without them? Who can a student “bug” better than a
teacher? Who can we “frustrate” more than a teacher?
But where will all our lecture-addicted, chalk-screeching, eyes-in-
back of head friends go? From many places come the answer.
Like that Wisconsin-bred guy named Mr. Stanley—where will he go?
Well, he’ll pack up his map and history books, his magazine reports
and pop quizzes, and he’ll move to Germany for a teaching tour (at
least he plans to). Many of you know Tom Stanley as the soldier who
points his imaginary rifle at a school ceiling to shoot down imaginary
Vietcong. Another of his strange mannerisms is attempting to in-
ject the words “University of Wisconsin” into at least one class each
day.
Miss Joseph and Mr. Oldfield have a common battlefield, namely the
rule of the seventh and eighth grades. And I’m sure their “mastering”
hands will be missed by the junior high folks.
Miss Joseph has decided to leave her teaching this year for a trip
to her parents’ home in Alabama. Not so for Mr. Oldfield. It’s Ger-
many for him, and a noteworthy year with some new monsters.
Miss Ruegseger deserves some applause. She’s faithfully stuck
with Mahan for two years. (Just think—two years on the “rock”.)
Mathematics are her specialty, but she’s recently added new plans to
the blueprint of her life. Soon in June, she’ll become a “Mrs.”, and
return to North Carolina. Best wishes Miss Ruegseger from all of us!
Hailing from N. Montana College is sprite Miss Sorensen who has
taught Mahan’s English and commercial Studies. She’s gonna hear
wedding bells, too, ’cause she’s getting married in the summer. This
will have been her last teaching job, and soon she and her “hubby”
will be settling in Oregon. (Brr!)
A “bonnier” lad there will never be. Although Mr. Didden does not
wear kilts and bagpipes, he does occasionally sport a bright Irish tie.
Graduating from La Salle College, Mr. Didden teaches science and
math. Heaven knows where he’ll be going, but we can be sure that
(four-leaf clover in hand) he’ll always greet success.
Vanderbilt College has turned out great-being Mr. E. Byars. Mr.
Byars majors in languages from Ola! to “Bon Voyage”. He’s what
might be called the unique teacher. He only says, however, that he’s
going “somewhere”. Bon chance, senor!
And, finally, thanks, Mr. Peck. Thanks for your patience and thanks
for your understanding. Mr. Peck will always be known as a loyal
friend to teen-agers. He can boast nine years of teaching experience,
and I understand that he will soon be adding more experience after
his derossing to the states this summer. Always remember those
famous Peck words—“I hate kids.”
And so, teachers, we say farewell Lumps of Luck wherever you may
go. Thanks for making our Icelandic Teen Scene more complete.
FORE! A controlled backswing, a slight hesitation, an increase of
power on the down-stroke, the whack of club meeting the ball and its
whistling flight marked the opening of the AFI Golf Tournament.

The AFI Story
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third in a series of articles
telling the story of the U. S. Air Force in Iceland; its mis-
sion, background and highlights.
by SSgt. Don Watkins
Headquarters Air Forces Iceland and assigned units, 57th
Fighter Interceptor Squadron, 667th Aircraft Control and
Warning Squadron, and 932nd ACW Sq., are organized to
perform an assigned mission for the First Air Force, based
at Stewart AFB, N.Y., to satisfy a Commander-in-Chief,
Atlantic operational requirement.
The Air Force mission in Ice-
land is, “To establish and main-
tain the function necessary to pro-
vide the CINCLANT with an
operational combat force respon-
sible to the Iceland Defense Force
(IDF), a North Atlantic Treaty
Organization command, for the
air defense of Iceland; maintain a
level of operational effectiveness
and alert posture as required by
CINCLANT and to provide conti-
nuous radar surveillance and
timely, accurate reporting of ob-
served air activity, including early
warning to appropriate air de-
fense agencies.”
667th ACW Sq.
The 667th ACW Sq. was ac-
tivated by Military Air Transport
Service in July 1956 to become
operational in August 1956, at
Langanes, Iceland.
The first commander of the
newly organized squadron was
Maj. Roderich A. Kallman who
was relieved by Maj. William E.

available now through the Offi-
cer’s Wives’ Clubs. In fact, the
cookbooks are sold exclusively by
OWC’s for fund raising purposes.
Books are not sold through any of
the regular commercial outlets
such as bookstores and exchanges.
Mrs. Mary Anne Rogers, staff
home economist for the publisher,
Favorite Recipes Press, Mont-
gomery, Ala. and her editorial

They have been assisted by an
Advisory Board of Editors repre-
senting every branch of the Mili-
tary Service.
The “Dessert” section fur-
nishes sweet recipes for every oc-
cation from coffee cakes for the
morning coffee to rich desserts to
top off the evening meal. The
“Party Beverage” section fea-
tures recipes such as “Irish Cof-
fee” to take the chill off a cold
winter’s night, as well as re-
freshing punches to lessen the ef-
fect of a dry summer’s day.
Officer’s Wives are noted for
their elegance in serving the most
delectable dishes. Many of their
exotic and glamorous specialties
are included in the “Fruit Des-
serts” section such as “Figs A

gories, you’ll find at least 200
cake recipes; over 225 pie recipes;

cookie recipes; and 200 refrige-
rator recipes. There’s a luscious
dessert recipe to suit each “sweet
tooth” in the family.
Recipes from many distin-
guished homemakers of both the

enchanged the value of this edi-
tion. Included are: “Germaine’s
Dessert” from Mrs. James H. Doo-
little, Santa Monica, Calif.;

Donald, U. S. Naval Observatory,

Wright in September 1956.
During the month of January
1957, radar equipment was re-
ceived and installed. At the direc-
tion of MATS, now Military Air-
lift Command, the 667th moved
from Langanes to Hofn, Iceland.
This move was accomplished during
January 1961 and the unit became
operational again after only one
month utilizing the AN/FPS-3 ra-
dar equipment moved from Langa-
nes.
Navy Assumes Langanes Duty
A detachment of two officers
and 21 enlisted men remained at
Langanes until the Navy assumed
operational control of the instal-
lation June 30, 1962. Detachment
1, 667th ACW Sq. was discon-
tinued at this time.
During November 1961, im-
proved radar equipment, AN/FPS-
20 was installed at the Hofn site;
it became operational in Janu-
ary 1962.
The 667th still maintains con-
trol of the Hofn site (H-3) and is
presently commanded by Lt. Col
John N. Evans.
GIVE A LIFE
Many seat belt enthusiasts com-
bined Christmas giving and seat-
belt crusading by giving seat belts
for Christmas. The Indian State
Board of Health promoted the idea
though its monthly magazine by
urging readers to give “a gift of
life for your loved one.”
Golfers Compete
In AFI
Tournament
It is often said that when the
golfing fever hits a future
Jack Nicklaus, he forgets
everything else but golf. His
whole being is focused on the
long fairways, the soft
greens, and the constant
dream of a hole-in-one.
Put this man among thirty-one
other fever-minded golfers in a
tournament, and you can be sure
there will be plenty of action.
That’s exactly what happened in
the Air Forces Iceland tournament
held last week end at the Shangri-
La Golf Club. The course is located
about nine miles from the base,
near the small town of Sandgerdi.
Originally, seventy-two holes
were planned, but the bad weather
forced the golfers to choose to play
only thirty six holes. But the bad
weather didn’t stop Ken Christ of
Air Forces Iceland to win the Air
Force golf tourney for the fourth
straight year in a row. Crist was
also birdie champ with four
birdies and one eagle. Christ shot
75 and 72.
In the A Flight handicap, Fred
I. Sowards was the winner in the
par sixty-six with a final score of
136. He had a handicap of twelve.
Coming second was Art Mussman
with 142, handicap of ten, and
third, was Robert Howland who
shot 145 with a handicap of four-
teen.
In the B Flight handicap, John
Cinotto took the lead with 137,
twenty handicap. He was followed
closely by David Hammond who
shot a 138 with twenty handicap.
Rex Adair of 932nd secured the
third place with a 139.
Nine trophies were given after
the tourney; seven of them to Air
Force personnel of the 932 Air-
craft Control and Warning Squad-
ron. The hole-in-one trophy went
to Robert Howen; his shot missed
the hole by only six inches. Two
eagle trophies went to Mike Spar
and Jack Warren. Both made
eagles on the seventh hole in three
strokes.
The Shangri-La golf course has
only 9 holes with par 33, but has
proved to be real challenging.
Winds are sometimes strong and
make the rounds excitingly tough.
The fairways are long enough for
wood play and the greens provide
a real battle.
Among the current obstacles on
the course, one can find the ocean,
fishracks, a small lake, numerous
fences, and occasional horse, sheep
and low-flying birds.
The golfer looking for a tough
and challenging course can find the
realization of his dreams at the
Shangri-La Golf Club.
