My father was a Ssgt there around 1952-3 involved in radar. He's retired in Yarmouth now. As of last summer his picture was still on the plaque by the ball field by the front gate, he played for the base team which was actually an adjunct from Otis. We go out there walking around once or twice a year, inside and outside the fence. He just tells anyone who asks, when he was stationed there and that he's showing me around the place and we always get the go-ahead, unescorted. He's attends many of the talks given by the Parks folks and a few times (nicely though) even corrected them about certain things. There's been things torn down and things built up since he was there, but he still remembers it all and enjoys talking about climbing the poles and the guys that he was stationed with and what you could do in what building. Lotta foxes, birds and squirrels around the woods, and that view off the dunes by the Audobon shed is one of my favorites. I find the place a littl eerie, rather than scary. It mostly looks in pretty good shape but weird absolutely no people around. I'm sure I could arrange a private tour for anyone interested.
