When I stumbled upon this page, I was overcome with a combination of sadness,
joy, nostalgia and frustration (that I didn't find it sooner). I have returned
to Paris many times since on business, but time never permitted me to visit
Châteauroux. Now that I am retired, I hope to show my wife the place where I
spent 3 of the happiest years of my life.
1-12-06 You know - over the years we have taken a bit of ribbing from family and friends for fighting the battle of Pigalle in the (warless) part of the fifties. The debauching, the boozing and other unsavory pursuits, while true, in retrospect these activities pale by comparison to the bigger picture. We gave four years of our lives in service to our country. "The proud, the few" doesn't apply only to Marines. I was proud of those three stripes on my arm; proud to be a part of the Air Force. Those were times during the height of the Cold War when keeping the aircraft supplied with parts made a big difference. Fortunately, the cold war stayed cold, but hell, we put ourselves out there and for that we and all of those like us should be proud to call ourselves veterans! D. Bokas

WARNOCK, William Reverend
2004: Grace and I
went back to visit Châteauroux and La Martinerie in 1997 during the year of our
40th wedding anniversary while we were living in Russia and Lithuania. We did
have a tour of the base courtesy of a very sharp and polite young French
soldier.
They would not let us in the Chapel where we were married, but we
were able to go across to the other side and see my former office that we
affectionately called the "Little Pentagon."

9-02:
I completed basic training at Lackland AFB in the summer of 1954, tech school at Cheyenne AFB and went by troopship to Germany where I was temporary assigned In Weisbaden.
Shortly thereafter, I was transferred to Châteauroux at La Martinerie arriving there in February of 1955. We were housed in tents in a very muddy field until renovation of housing was complete. When it rained (and
sometimes for days), whole pallets of equipment and supplies would sink below the mud and disappear. After about 3 months we were moved into what is now the headquarters building. My memories of life at Châteauroux
consists of making lots of friends, drinking with my buddies( Yes, the Chicken Coop also!),
