My dad was with a DOD procurement agent and my mom was secretary to Vice Adm Chew and BG DesPortes. LTC Bill Mee and his wife Marta lived in those apts at the same time and were great friends of my folks (and me). Warm memories of that time and place!ScottWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02648734134604322097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618357189841775998.post-39515068594510728872013-11-17T14:57:30.011-05:002013-11-17T14:57:30.011-05:00Rory-----------

There have been reunions on the facebook group Yangmingshan US Military Housing Come Back to Grass Mountain 陽明山美軍眷舍群回到草山 (YUSMH), and now I plan to put together an album for former US residents of the DaHeng Road Residential Area (two current members of the YUSMH group also lived there).

Any chance you could send to me JPEGs of the Taipei Teacher Education In-service Complex? It is the old Grass Mountain Hostel. I have seen it on your website, but can't download.

A 1969 satellite photo of Yangmingshan is recently posted in Don's USTDC blog.<br />http://ustdc.blogspot.com/2010/09/1969-satellite-photo-of-yangmingshan.html<br />In the red square area of the satellite photo,<br />http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=vicwk&b=3&f=1085428552&p=0<br />I believe the red circle is your apt and the yellow circle is the Grass Mountain facility in the following image?<br />http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=vicwk&b=3&f=1085428553&p=1Victornoreply@blogger.com
