Wake Island from the Air2224 viewsMy father, Woody Walsh, was stationed by PanAm on Wake Island in, I believe, 1953. At the time Wake Island was a refuelling airport for the China Clippers en route from the West Coast to the Orient.Feb 16, 2008

Main Street on Wake Island - PAAVille11084 viewsMy father lived on Wake Island for quite a while in the early 1950's when he worked for PanAm. Not much traffic.Feb 16, 2008

PAAVille Skyline - Wake Island24955 viewsI would guess this in the main intersection of PAAVille on Wake Island, photographed by my father, Woody Walsh, circa 1953. He took a series of slides, and these two images were stitched together with modern software. I like the one lone soldier walking in the lower right hand corner --- he's the only sign of "traffic."Feb 16, 2008

PanAm Boeing Stratocruiser 377 in Honolulu, Circa 19496010 viewsI did a Google search on this aircraft, N1025V. It was the first of 21 Stratocruisers delivered to PanAm (delivered on January 31, 1949). At the time it was called "Clipper America," although that doesn't seem to be the name in this photograph. (PanAm apparently had many aircraft called "Clipper America" over the years.) N1025V is now sold as a model. The real N1025V was sold to the Israeli Air Force in 1963 as a cargo plane, and last flew in March 1974.Feb 16, 2008

Marjorie 1 At Starbucks in South Australia1419 viewsCathy wrote, "Did my daughterly duty yesterday and took Mother to Colonades which is near where she lives, I think I did some 120 kms just doing that. We had coffee at Starbucks, the first one opened in South Australia and it has to be miles from where I live, oh well just need to wait until they open more nearer me."Apr 25, 2006

Grandfather, Chase, and Marcia - Christmas 1985602 viewsFunny, although this picture is almost 20 years old, I can still see Grandfather sitting on that couch, eating cheese and crackers. We still have the leather chair (and the ottoman with Chase's Christmas pony). We moved the couch to England, and sat on it in The Limes. Chase sure looks happy!Jul 19, 2005
