Deep Freeze '87
and decommissioning crew. I recognize your names from that deployment
boys, and Richie, I believe we did DF '88, AWS '88, AES 89', and DF
'90 together on Polar Star. Bizzare to read that some of these guys
are still in, and nearing retirement as I've been 14 years a civilian
now.
Decom memories are the packaging of all parts, tools, etc. on the
way home from that DF with a stop in Maui. Had to be in dress uniform
for the trip up the Columbia to Portland so some of us hit the liquor
store in Astoria the night before and never came out of the hole.
Okay, you can wait 'til retirement for those stories.
Laesed a warehouse on Swan Island from Freightliner and I can tell
you from working that site that we took over 840 pallets off that
ship.
Seems like yesterday and a lifetime ago all at the same time. Best
to all. Breaker sailors were a brotherhood. |

I was a member
of the eleven man US Army Air Forces weather station crew at Walrus
Bay (near Scoresbysund) NE Greenland from August 1945 to August 1946.
USCGC Storis helped take us in through the pack ice in Aug '45, and
brought us home the following year. In August 2002, I returned to
the area on my own as a "tourist". In February 2005, I went with a
small tour group to the Antarctic Peninsula area on a converted Russian
research vessel. An even more impressive experience! |

Remember the Glacier
from Deep Freeze 66 -67. Was on board the Eastwind at McMurdo Sound
the night the Glacier got stuck and need to be freed. It had a sign
on the flight deck saying "Follow Me". Of course things couldn't be
left alone, the Eastwind crew went over the side one night and painted
on the stern of the Glacier, "Follow Who?" I did get a chance to go
on board the Glacier and was very impressed with the 4 Fairbanks side
by side in B2. Best of luck with the restoration. It's great seeing
history kept alive for the younger generation can see and hopefully
learn from. |

I sailed on the
Glacier for Arctic West Summer 1973 and again from Sept 1980 to June
1985. I retired from the Coast Guard April 1 1990. I thoroughly enjoyed
my tours onboard "Big Red". |

I reported to the
glacier as an SA straight from boot camp in june of 74. After getting
to know the ship and the various departments I decided I wanted to
be an RD. I remember Master Chief "Red" Walker teaching me to plot.
On our way to DF75 we stopped at the equator for swim call. A bunch
of us jumped in right away. Unfortunately the ship had not come to
a complete stop yet. I remember seeing the ship getting smaller and
smaller in the distance. There were sea scouts with us and many of
us were getting tired. The ships boat started making round trips back
to the Glacier picking up those who were in trouble and towing others
by grabbing a line. I missed the line the first time. On the next
trip I was towed back. I was so exhausted it was very difficult climbing
back aboard. Thank God everyone was safe. After arriving In Wellington
I recieved orders to RD school and left the ship for New York City.
Of course there I was in NYC while the Glacier was making headlines.
Fortunately after graduating I was stationed aboard the Burton Island
for 4 Trips ASW75 DF76 ASW76, and DF77. I sure treasure my Icebreaker
friends and memories. Thanks for preserving the Glacier. |

I served aboard
the Glacier from 1985 into 1987 and was part of her decommissioning
crew. Went on two south trips on her while home-ported in Portland,
OR. I would gladly email pictures to any former shipmates or this
society site. |

I served on board
from 1968 - 1970. I really enjoyed the article written by Dave La
Plante. What memories. I lost contact with Larry Kastning AKA 'Q-Suco'.
Does anyone know his whereabouts? Hope to hear from some of the old
gang soon. |
