0700 The last day
of the old routine that includes
having a commissionaire and
KERR/COOPER/MacDONALD & the vets,
Bob & Dale. Dwayne knows where
he is going, but Andy still has
nothing definite. It might
show just how little importance we
hold that neither knew until this
week, and Andy won’t know definitely
until next week. For their
last day, Insp. LATHEM didn’t even
call, let alone drop around to
present them with the usual
certificate. Those two have
worked hard here and have literally
just been forgotten. As for
me, well, I have been a thorn in too
many sides to get anything other
than a boot.
My file notes on CD were turned over
to COOPER this morning, advising him
that was everything now up until
today.
….
From 1000 hrs on, worked on the
alarms and shutdown. Set up
the ‘J’ hangar alarm with me as the
master number, and John GARSTANG and
Bill FOWLER with temporary numbers.
I was then shown how to change the
numbers, which I did with John,
allowing him to put in his own
number. John had considered a
fourth number simply for a TSB
visitor, namely Vic GERDEN or Larry
VANCE if & when they come down,
however Bill FOWLER said that he
definitely did not want an unknown
fourth person having access, and he
said that goes for the frame room
and the TSB office as well.
Because Bill FOWLER was pressed for
time, we were unable to change his
number or show him the system, but
he was given the temporary number
and keys to the ‘J’ hangar, as well
as his temporary codes to the TSB
office and frame room, although he
doesn’t yet have those keys.
Was then able to set up the frame
room and TSB office is the same
manner, with me as the master number
and temporary numbers for everyone.
Then, as time permitted, each
changed the numbers individually.
Keys now have to be cut, as there
seems to be a limited number.
