You are correct Dr. Temple was in the process of transfer when I arrived at Wheelus.. His replacement was Dr. Florian T. "Irish" Szatalowicz. Dr. Love at that time was the hospital commander and his secretary was Alice Lasiter.. Most of our veterinary efforts were related to food inspection and food service sanitary /public health inspections. Although we did operate a weekly small animal clinic out of our office along with providing regular veterinary service's supporting the base air police canine program.. Occasionally we were called to the palace in Tobruck to treat some of King Idris animals. To of my fellow associate's at that time were SSgt Saugsted & SMsgt Molsted. Dr. Szatalowicz was a great boss to work for and I recently corresponded with him at his home in Missouri. I helped SSgt Saugsted sell his furniture to a local civilian before his departure.

I was in the hospital 61 - 64 as optometrist. In 63 I got married and we rented an apartment off base. We bought most of the furniture from a veterinarian who was heading back home. I'm about 98% sure it was Dr Temple. My memory, however has a Dr. Cada as hospital commander. We left In August 64 and it seems like Cada was there forever, Maybe a Dr Love replaced him. I remember Dr. Temple talking about most of his job being food ect. safety. knew him about a year or so. Dick Smith ( Note 129) To Conley Ford. I was in the hospital 61 - 64 as optometrist.

He was on what was called the holding crew. As I said he was sent in Jan and left in May. His assignment was to destroy US property that could not be transported so that no one could get it. I've mislaid his papers and he's in TX and I'm in KY (where he was originally from) and he won't get on the computer. Lena Campbell Ray,

No Lena, I don't recall knowing your Uncle, but then it has been many years. Do you know where he worked? I worked in Base Supply. Yeah, we probably lived in the same barracks during the last few months at Wheelus. We might of been on the same plane when we left. I left on May 24th. Robert Comment 1004 Lena Campbell.
