Would like to find pictures and names of those stationed with my husband in 1958 and 1959 in Beaverlodge with the 919th. Husband Frank Wayne Glover. Remember a wife of a man her name was Kitten and don’t remember last name. Remember wife of a man her name was Ginger Bruflat and don’t remember his name. My husband played basket ball on the air force team and base ball as well. He was a radio and teletype operator.
