I wish I could help you with more information about Murphy Dome, and how to contact those who served there, but the only link I have (which was mentioned above in another comment) is this one: http://murphydome.tripod.com/index.html Perhaps someone there can point you in a direction that will lead to you reconnecting with some of your old friends. Good luck to you, and thank you for your service! Susan Hi Donald, and thank you for commenting.

I was stationed at Murphy Dome in 62-63 and was there when Kennedy was shot. I can remember it like it was yesterday. There was a raging Blizzard going on when I was awoken from a sound sleep with the news. We were put on alert and (pretty funny now) assigned security posts. Only problem was we couldn't see the end of our noses and some super bright individual had us tie rope around our waist and go into the storm. That didn't last long I can assure you. All in all it wasn't a bad assignment and I spend many a night at the old miners cabin and hiking the area. When I got there we left Anchorage on the Alaskan Railroad and it was a fun trip. Stopped at a siding about 5 miles from the Radar Site and pretty much said; And I have to stay here how long ? Beautiful place though and the trip to Fairbanks was long and cold in the Winter months riding in the back of the mail truck. Also use to be many bubble checks by B-57's and any other A.C. that happened to be passing my. Quite a thrill standing on the real steps of the barracks and looking down at the planes coming up the valley. Thanks for letting me share and I'll keep checking back for any further memories.
