Detail : I was stationed at Greenville in 1963 while attending Medical Service Specliast School.
Remember the base as very nice place to be. Had some of the best food in the chow hall. Great Airmans club with dances that a lot of the local girls came to.
Liked some of the local restaurants and coffe shops. Dont remember the name of the coffe shop I like but believe it was in the old Greenville Hotel.
If anyone has pictures of the base from that era, I would appreciate seeing them.
Hope all of you have as many fond memories as I do of my stay at Greenville AFB

Detail : I grew up in Greenville, graduating from E.E.Bass in 1953. In November 1953 I married the very newly graduated pilot, 2nd Lt. Jim Overton from Glen Allen, Va. We were married almost fifty two years when he passed. Two years later, God sent me Robert Ray, a former high school classmate. We knew each other in school, but never dated. We have often said, \"God saved us for each other at this time in our lives. There is a lot of truth in the song \"The Second Time Around.\" Although Greenville is very worn, I still remember how it was way back when, and I still love to come home.

Detail : My mother was Mary Louise Shepherd Pace. I was raised on South Broadway along with my sister Totty Terney Merideth Bishop and brother Champ Taylor Terney, Jr. We lived with my uncles Bobby, Phil and Teddy Shepherd and my aunt and uncle Mildred and W.P. \"Bee\" Rushing.

Detail : My mother, Kathryn Pigg (from Leland, MS) worked at the base during WWII. She later married my father, Bob Shepherd, from Greenville in 1950. I would love to hear from anyone who knew her. We lost her to cancer in 1998.
