  14. A view of "Shag Pond" at McAndrew AFB - October 1952
    Shag Pond was taken from the road going out to the base gate. We are looking back towards McAndrew with the base gym on the right. The long black objects to the left of the base gym are our telephone poles stacked up. In the background from those is the rear of our barracks and way in the back is Argentia Naval Air Station. In the foreground from the four petrolem tanks is the base theater.
