NCS continued from pg. 1 already exhaustive work and social schedule, Thor contributed still more of his time to children from such countries as Bolivia and Bali through helping to found a Foster Child Program in the NATO Base Kiwanis Club. He was attending school in California during the 1973 eruption of Heimaey in the Vestman Islands, but when he returned he lead a collection, as treasurer for the Kiwanis Club, to aid the islanders and raised over $17,000. Mr. Halldorsson is fiercely proud of his Icelandic citizenship. He joined the Independence Party as a teenager, was president of the Independence Youth Group in his native Hafnarfjordor, and still remains active in ploitics today. He joined the Icelandic Youth Hostel movement some forty years ago, traveling all over the island with young people and even lead a group of 24 youngsters on a bicycle tour of Scotland for three weeks in 1951. From the late 50's, he has organized what NCS personnel refer to as "Thor's Tours", when he and his wife, Dia, personally escort members of the command on one-day, weekend jaunts through the local countryside. From a handful of fully-loaded private cars bouncing along unpaved roads to the comfort of today's touring buses, his way of sharing his pride and knowledge of Icelandic folklore and traditions is direct. In his quarter century of service, Thor has witnessed 15 NCS change of commands, more than a half dozen senior enlisted retirements and the November 1972 arrival of the first enlisted woman June 20, 1986 The White Falcon to serve in Iceland. He recalls the modernization of NATO Base aircraft from the P-40 "Warhawk” and P-51 "Mustang" fighters of WWII (and corrugated steel plate taxiways used to keep their wheels from sinking into the mud), to the assignment of the EC-121 "Super Constellation” and F— 104 "Delta Dart" predecessors of the present day E3A AWACS and F— 15 fighter squadrons. "Ask Thor" is the most echoed phrase among Icelander and American alike at NCS. In the words of a fellow worker, Mr. Gretar Felixsson, "He is the father of NCS.“ Thorgrimur Julius Halldorsson 1 1
