    Wow! Great photos. Saddens me to see the condition of the base. Thanks sooooo much for these shots. On one hand it doesn't seem that long ago I was chowing down on a very healthy (I'm sure) meal from "Souvlaki Joe's" ... and on the other hand it seems like a far-away and unreal memory that I was even stationed on Crete. Thanks again Bob.
