I am looking for friends from these 3 years I was at Kagnew Station. I would like to get in contact with anyone that I was friends with. I miss motorcycles, racing and especially parties after.

I am new to this web site, however I was in Asmara from jul 1967 til Aug 1969. I was on radio for a short while on the week ends. Worked out at Trac C and married an Italian in Asmara in 1969. If you rode motorcycles, what brand was it? if it was a Ducati did you know Eraldo who owned the Ducati shop. Hope to hear from you soon.

I was in Kagnew part of 69 and 70, I bought a Ducati from someone in Guard Co. Had the tank paited by the guy that owned the Ducati shop, he did a fine job on it.

My Ducati was a 4 stroke, single jug rode it all over the place there with other cyclist, got a kick out of the locals checking us out.

Went down the moutain on it many times, once I hit a patch of sand in a curve and was going way to fast and hit a guard rail tearing off my ritht foot peg, I was very lucky to have had a steel toed boat on at the time, it put a big gash in the boot and save my toes )

I worked in HQ company doing the mail room and supply room also worked at the Commisary when I first got there.

Names I remember are Larry Payne and a guy named Bob who worked in the personnel office.
