That's from people who did it then-my father and friends. <br />To DasKrait and Tim L. Please get in touch at gmboothe@yahoo.com. My parents were teachers for the Navy on Saipan from 1958-62. I went to kindergarten and 1st grade at NTTU-the buildings are still there. Would like to hear about your experiences there.<br />Gary BootheGary Boothehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803773211960693117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827356846155984042.post-81324606515228800872009-09-17T00:21:34.236-07:002009-09-17T00:21:34.236-07:00Hi Tim.

I wish I could have explored Saipan in the early 1960's as well, especially those several areas that were still off-limits at that time.EW Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916900678125440061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827356846155984042.post-8496992991809529942009-08-25T11:16:29.882-07:002009-08-25T11:16:29.882-07:00I LIVED on Saipan?

We lived in Kagman, before it got developed.<br />I learned to swim, well the first time I ever went across an open area, was that pool to the right of Forbidden Island, so named because the whole Kagman Point was off-limits to locals right after WWII. We lived in one of the complexes(of four) that had been used by the CIA to train fighters against MAO. Another complex was an agricultural station(plants).DasKraithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217438255744014460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827356846155984042.post-6454110841314521202009-05-25T11:02:00.908-07:002009-05-25T11:02:00.908-07:00Beautiful!
