My dad was stationed at RAF Alconbury and I attended Molesworth High School from \'61-\'62.

 Nice site! Attended MJHS & lived at Alconbury \'66 - \'69 (7th-9th).  Hung out with Bobby Connor (deceased), his brother Jamie, Neal Johnson, Gary Roller, Floyd Hustead, Hugh ?, John Kelly, Terry Sklar; Theater trips to London with Miss Davis to see \'A Christmas Carol\' & \'Your a Good Man, Charlie Brown\'; Double\'s tennis with Bobby Connor & Kary Kaltenbacher, Cardinal\'s baseball & base/city hopping with the Jr Spartan\'s all- star bowling team.  Camp Mohawk, the best! 

 I just saw this page while looking for information on Molesworth.  I taught English and history at Molesworth Jr. High 1971-74.  It was a great experience.  It is wonderful that so many of you have stayed in touch.Martha Braddock

Was feeling a bit nostalgic so clicked over to this site and got even more so!  So, I just thought I'd leave a big Hello! for everyone out there that might remember me.  We were stationed at Alconbury from December 1969 to June 1970.  That would have been 8th and 9th grade years for me.  We lived in Peterborough on Mountbatten Way along with dozens of other American families!  I was really shy in those days, not so much now!  Most people remember me as the quiet girl with short, red hair.  I currently live in Houston, Texas but think of the time spent in Europe (we were stationed there three times between 1966 and 1977) as the happiest years of my life!  I won't be able to attend the next reunion (flying is NOT a good thing for me!) but if we ever decide to have another one in Texas I'll be there!! Feel free to message me anytime!

Hi everyone, Kim....great site, I've enjoyed browsing through the different links. i remember a few of the names; Steve, Mark, Shaun, etc. It is truly amazing to link up with the past like that. I have been looking for Greg Bolden, Kim Filmore, Karen Lawson, Tim Scott.....I could go on an on. Although my time was cut short there, it's kinda nice to know there will be a reunion. Unfortunately, I may not be available to attend. I am in my brother's wedding that same weekend. I may still have to work something out though. :-) He might need a new best man. Anyway, keeep on keeping on, Bill

Can someone send me Roxane Utsler's email address? Or phone #.

We just bought plane tickets to London for March 2008. During our vacation we will make a pilgrimage to Peterborough, RAF Molesworth, RAF Alconbury, Huntington and RAF Lakenheath. If anyone has anything specific they would like a photo of, please let us know. We will post all photos on this web site when we return. If anyone cares to join us, we will be staying at the Holiday Inn West Peterborough from March 24-26!!

Hey Michael -- since you can get on base being a retiree, how about photos of Alconbury -- even if the buildings are no longer there! Alconburians: DON'T FORGET TO VOTE ON WHERE YOU'D LIKE THE NEXT REUNION IN 2010! So far, Denver leads, Vegas is second, and it's a tie between Chicago and Vail. It's also not too late for suggestions, although these four were in the top choices of those who have voted.

Hello All!What a great site. It sure brings back memories. My father was stationed at Alconbury from 74-78 and i was lucky enough to attend school at Molesworth for 4th grade, Alconbury for 5th, Chelveston for 6th, and then back to Alconbury for junior high.

This is AMAZING!!! I stumbled upon this reunion website earlier today and I've been waxing nostalgic ever since. I've already emailed several people and heard back from two so far—Estella Shortridge, who was my first love, and Diane Scott, Estella's best pal. I haven't seen any of you for 35 years+ and this is sooooo cool. From looking at the photos on the website I can see that Wayne Sullivan hasn't changed at bit. Wayne I would love to hear what's going on with Gail and Gary. Hope all is well. As soon as I can dig up some old photos I'll upload them. It's great to see pics of the Everett's, Chris Metz, Mr. Snively, Carol Comer, Rory Alexander, Sheri Woolf, Mr. Bunch and others. It's also great to see pics of the ol' stompin' grounds—the AYA and RAF Molesworth. Anybody ever hear from any of my old 1974 Jr. Spartan football teammates? I played wide receiver, Keith and Terry Baker were halfbacks, Mike Pollack was our quarterback, Eddie Norton was another receiver and Billy James was our linebacker. I saw that my teammate Paul Ristow has already signed in and I've sent him an email and I'm waiting to hear back. Again, this is soooo cool!! Thanks to everyone who has had a part in putting this nostalgic tool together. Peace and blessing, Darryl Wilson Molesworth/Alconbury 72-75

What an awesome site!  Just found it and you guys have been doing this for years.  I was at Moleworth from 68 to 71.  I also had two brothers Richard Morton and Kenny Morton both younger.  Would love to hear from anyone and everyone! Thanks KIM! 

I am looking for classmates.  I was connected several years ago and have since become disconnected.

I only knew the name "Alconbury Spartans" because it was also used by the USAF guys who raced stock cars in the 1960's.  They and their colleagues at Chelveston were famous for their vigorous driving and their enviable access to big US V-8 engines. Ted Janes was one: http://oldstox.com/images/Gordon%20Bland/ted%20janes%20fan%2065.jpg http://oldstox.com/images/Gordon%20Bland/Ted%20Janes%20Brands.jpg In this photo http://oldstox.com/images/Group.jpg are A2c  Ed Bilak, A2c Jim Crye, A1c Clyde Nichols, A1c Mark Thomson, TSGT.Ted Janes, A3cSSGT Grant Ford, A3c James Sawyer.  Any veterans who remember those ndays can see my whole stock-car history site at www.oldstox.com  

Nice site Kim! I was at Molesworth for 1968 - 1972, where have all the years gone!

nice web site. i recognise a few people. alive and well in Michigan.kent

My family was in England from 1969 to 1975.  Me and my sisters Beverley and Linda have great memories of our time at Molesworth and Alconbury!

I am heading back for another visit to London/Alconbury/Peterborough in October. (specifically Oct 11-16) If anyone has any photo requests, please let me know! I still have more pics to post from my trip this past March. Looking forward to seeing everyone in 2010.

What Up?  Happy St. Paddy's Day.  I will drink one for all of ya'll in sunny south florida.  If anyone would like to call me instead of e-mail my numbers are----home 954-474-0840 or cell 954-295-2731.  Later,  Scott Comer

My wife Debbie and I were stationed at RAF Alconbury 1972-1974 and would like to hear from any of our old friends from the 10th Supply Squadron.

I saw the pictur from the first reunion, any help on who is who? How about posting more then and now picks? Just a thought.

I was at Alconbury from 1975-1979, I played football for the Sr. Spartans 77-78. I remember the Threee Horseshoes Pub and buying booze there and sliding under the fence by the base, going to the AYA dances and the Spartan Rest.

Just when you thought the world was small, it gets even smaller....we met Steve & Marilyn Cox at the reunion and discovered they live very close to us. The other evening Michael was at the home of our neighbor discussing the reunion and discovered he has worked with Steve Cox for a few years at The Pentagon. Steve, in case you see this: Our friend and neighbor (two doors down) is Lt. Col. Bert Ges.

Thanks a million to Lisa Stevens. She led me to my long lost best friend..Stella Shortridge. Thank you again Lisa

THANK YOU, my dear Alconbury friends, for the beautiful silver platter, engraved with all of your names. It is a keepsake I will treasure forever! I love you all!

Still alive and kicking in Gonzales Texas.

Hi Kim! The radio just happened to play an old Roberta Flack song, "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and it brought back fond memories of days spent in the Day Room, long bus rides, and the dorm life at Lakenheath (and the time we were playing hooky, ditched our suitcases in the back hall of the hospital only to find they had evacuated it thinking the alarm clock in our suitcase was a bomb!). I wondered how I could make a link to the past, some of my old friends, and found your wonderful website! I've already contacted several names from the past. Thank you! -Pamela Dickson

Is it too late to vote on the location for the next reunion? I just discovered your website. My vote is Vail also. Another alternative might be Copper Mountain in the Rocky Mountains, not far from Vail. A great little ski town that offers lots of condos, restaurants and large conference (party) areas during the summer months. Instead of hotels, they offer 2-3 bedroom condos at a very reasonable summer rate. Lots of hiking, fishing, etc. Kim, if you will send me your address I can send you a barrage of info about Copper Mountain. I just returned from a conference there. -Pamela

Hello all. I don\'t know if anyone remembers me but I was at Molesworth from 68-70 and was a dormie at Lakenheath from 70-71. We moved back to the states in 71 and I graduated from high school in Oklahoma in 72. I still live in Oklahoma today. Found this website today after a friend from Lakenheath sent the link. I browsed through the photos and found what looks like me standing in the background of the "cutting up in class 1970" picture. If my memory serves me right, that is Calvin Herron in the foreground. Anyway, just thought I would sign in and say hi.

Hi, I went to Alconbury Elementary in 1970-72 (all of 5th and 1/2 of 6th gr.) Finished 6th at Molesworth Elementary in \'72. On to Molesworth Jr. High for 7th and 8th ending in "74. We lived in St. Neots, Hartford and finally Chelveston.Came back to the states in Aug.1974 to retire at Beale AFB,CA.Graduated in 1978, married 29 years, three sons(28,twins-26),1 granddaughter!

Our family was stationed at RAF Alconbury from 1969-1973. I attended Molesworth from '69-70, and Lakenheath, Home of the Lancers! from '71-72. It will be wonderful to connect once again with the special people that I love dearly from my (our) past and to introduce the wonderful present in my life. See you in Williamsburg! :)

What it is----What it is----What it is

I lived in Molesworth Housing 1968- summer of 1970.  I attended Molesworth Elementary and JR High at Moleworth.  Would love to hear from anyone that lived there or attended the schools during that time period.

It's 48 years since I last saw any of you that lived at Chelveston ..... but it seems like yesterday. I remember clearly making my way up from Caldecott, where I lived, to play basketball with many of you - Roger Keener, Scott Kosygin, Mark Noble, Greg Bolden, Mick Ross. I even managed to spend a couple days at school with you at Molesworth and can remember the small of the rooms and corridors near the lockers ..... Those childhood memories have proved so valuable in sustaining that relationship between the USA and Britain (regardless what our politicians have to say). I'm still in touch with a couple of you and even met up with one of you (you know who you are!), and I wish you all well, and hope you have great reunion at Alconbury in June. Maybe I'll make it over from France where I live - close to those beaches that our grandparents liberated in June '44.

was at alconbury from 1980-1984 (most of 2nd grade-first couple months of 5th).  Older brother, Pete.  Younger brother, Seth.  All my teachers names began with the letter "B".  Bates, Barnes, Bernard....I'm missing one.  Remember Kevin McCormick, lee macfarland, mike Mullins.  Horse heads & King Cobras basketball "team".  I recall the rings we used to play on and flip them over the top bar, the see saws we used to launch each other off, tether ball and wristbands, when it would snow and the principal would let us run and slide (and bust our rears) on the icy blacktop.  Researching and putting on our own plays for the whole school.....one about a prediction/love machine, one about aliens.  Lived in st. Neots most of the time but back on base for about a year before moving to Germany.  The luxury buses we rode for an hour and half to get home....our bus driver that would let us jump off the bus.  The bowling alley and the dusty baseball fields, playing in jeans and black shirts with iron on letters.  4th grade field trip overnight to London, the London Dungeon...could you imagine that trip for 9 year olds today?  Hope all are well.  What a great time!

hi!  just found this site....won't make this one...heard about one in Louisville in Oct....looking for info!   Dan

Anothbody who remenbers me! Please respond

I have not talked to anyon in years. I want to talk to anyone who was there with me  

78 - 80 a lot of good memories lot of good friends lost touch with most of them and never forget Les at the AQ Club

What a great site. Just saw this for the first time and spent the next 2 hours looking at pictures and piecing back together fragmented memories of such a great and significant time in my life, and apparently so many others lives as well. It's been 39 years since we left Alconbury, yet I can look at the Football team photo and after a couple of go rounds remember at least partial names of 2/3 of the guys in it. We were thousands of miles from anything familiar, a different world really, because of our Dad's jobs, and grew up largely by leaning on each other. Thanks to all those who were friends during those shared days, and to the folks who made and maintain this site. Great times. 

Just thinking about the old gang.   Nicky

I lived at RAF Alconbury from 1971-1977 and attended both Molesworth JHS and Lakenheath HS.  I was in the graduating class of '78 so I did not actually graduate from Lakenheath as we relocated back to the States just before my senior year.  Even though I am not a Lakenheath grad, I feel more connected to that group since I only attended my high school in Virgina for only 1 year.  It would be great to reconnect with anyone who was around at that time.   

Hope to make the reunion.

Wikipedia.org states that on January 8, 2015 it was announced that the Royal Air Force Alconbury is closing along with RAF Mildenhall and RAF Molesworth. I thought RAF Molesworth was already closed years ago. I know Wikipedia.org is the worst place to get correct information but I thought I would share. I am planning to attend my first reunion in 2017 and hope others that have never been will be like me and come because we are averaging 60 years and who knows how much longer we will be here.  Through the years I have run into people that have had something to do with the RAF's in England. I met an English woman standing in the bathroom line Christmas Eve in North Conway, New Hampshire 2 years ago (yes, no matter how old you get they never have enough bathroom stalls for the women) and she told me she learned how to drive on RAF Molesworth's flight line. Another person I met was when I car pooled to work with a woman, Jodi, that was stationed with her husband at RAF Alconbury and lived in the housing in Yaxley in the 1990's. And for you Yaxley housed brats she worked at Yax Pack Mushrooms!! Yax Pack Mushrooms is thriving and has doubled in size. At the same time I was carpooling with Jodi I started to car pool with Chuck and Chuck was a Air Force brat stationed at Mt. Home, Idaho the same time Jean Woods and I were there with our fathers who were learning to fly a new plane. Chuck's father worked the flight line. Nancy Nies and I were roommates in college and next door to us our freshman year was Jane Taylor from RAF Lakenheath. It really is a small world.  Looking forward to seeing everyone in 2017 and hopefully I would have dropped the extra weight and have something left of my memory. So if I look familiar to you and I walk right past you just grab me I will be very appreciative.   

I was in Molesworth and played the Jr. Spartans in '75. Lived in Yaxley, everyone stood in front of my house for the bus stop. Lol.  Sheri Woolf was there too. Alton Edwards. ect.  Somebody contact me. Been a long time. Stumbled on this site.  

Does anyone know Neil Johnson's new email address? Has anyone heard from Wayne Sullivan, or know where Jim Daneu is?

Interestingly enough, my dad sent me this link.  While it is true that a few years back I made initial contact and my name was added to this list of Alumni, I never followed up and unfortunately missed the 2007 reunion (which I was hopping to attend).  I will see if I can do a better job of staying informed and try to make the 2010 reunion. 

It\'s been almost 1/2 century since my days at Molesworth & Chicksands! We were kids and teens from 61-65 in England...great times...great memories, even if they are fuzzy. If you were there in Mr. Bixby\'s class or Troop 291 (\'sands)-give me an electronic call. Steve.

I miss and love you all, may God bless you and may we all see eachother again, God willing, and the creeks don\'t rise.

Merry Christmas to all my friends...we pobably haven\'t spoken in decades but my wish to you all is health, happiness, and prosperity for the coming years!!!

A happy and prosperous New Year to all my old Molesworth friends!!!
