EOCN Steven Allen Murray (1971-1972 Wind
Fly Summer Support) - Clearlake CA.
I landed on the ice at Williams Field in a C-130 Herc. in
1971. I sure had respect for the pilots landing in a white out or
what we called a Hawk. My job was to help keep Williams field
fuelled for heat and help work with the water supply. I ran a
955&D-8 Cat. My closest friends were, Frank Porkorney (Porky) Carl
Austin (Killa) Scott Hall. Chief CMC Griner god bless you, you were
the greatest. I enjoyed forming the first four piece rock & roll
band to play on the ice at McMurdo Station. We entertained at Las
Vegas night at the helo hanger what a bash. God bless all the
friends I made on the ice. EOCN Steven Murray
