Jackson Military History:
I arrived Bentwaters 20 November 1969 and departed 21 October
1973.
See full entry on 1970s page.
John
Amundson - I was a brat with my family stationed at Bentwaters
from 1968-1971. Wonderful, wonderful time! Live here in Vegas
now, and ran into a person who looked so familiar, but I couldn't
place his face. Then it dawned on both of us as we started asking
where we knew each other from - it was Frank Slaughter, who was
another dependent stationed at Woodbridge from 69-72. So if anyone
is looking for him, or me, we are here in Las Vegas, NV.

Hi Linn, thanks for forwarding Terry's message. Of course
I remembered him and replied, and another tile in the mosaic of
my ten very special years in England falls into place. When I
was busily blathering about myself and the Tunetwisters on your site, I neglected to mention my father, CMSGT Raymond
Winn was Wing Sgt Major of 81CSG around '66-'70 my mother taught
at the elementary school at Woodbridge and my brother Rick worked
at the AAfes Service Station at Woodbridge between semesters at
Lakenheath High School, where he graduated in '69. I came to England
to visit them after my tour in the Army was over & decided
to stay. Rick joined the Air Force soon after he graduated, put
in four years, got out, went to college, went back in with a commission
and retired as a Major not too long ago. His oldest son was born
at Bentwaters... so the whole Winn family has a bit of "Crooked
Creek" in our veins.........and proud of it. Thanks again,
Sincerely, Ray Winn.

become involved in this great site. Jim Knickle 415 515-5757

Ray Winn ramwin2(a)msn.com,
Bentwaters/Woodbridge, 1968-1978, Civilian, Member of the Tunetwisters.
I was at Bentwaters/Woodbridge 1968-78 as a civilian. During this
time I worked at the Dining Hall, Stars&Stripes bookstore
briefly, and worked for AAFES from 1970-78. I was the first Manager
of the Bentwaters Sound Center (through the Deli, Furniture Store,
all the way in the back, tall guy with glasses, that's me). I
also played lead guitar for several C&W bands. You might remember
the "Tunetwisters" at the NCO Club and the Woodbridge
All-Ranks Club. I've got many fond memories of those times. Cheers
and all the best. Ray Winn.
The Tunetwisters were formed by Chuck Bailey, who was Bandleader,
big daddy, organizer, mentor, leader, nursemaid, and chief Buttkicker
to us all.
The
other members were Chuck Conley, Chris Kallenback(sp.?), Duane
Booth, Mel Tindle, Rick Welch, and me. We occasionally were
joined by Bob Haskell, Tony Smart, Ron Reed, and Pete Harvey as
sidemen. [Linn B.: I am interested that
there was no mention of Clyde Clevenger, who emailed me to
say that he played in a band of that name]
We did make two LP's at Hillside Records in Ipswich around
1975. I wonder if you could find out if they are still in business?
I tried searching on the 'net but didn't score. It was owned and
operated by Richard and David Allison at Levington Road, IPS.
They were a brand new studio and I think we were their first venture.
It went well.
I stayed in touch with Chuck B. for a while after I returned to
US but then lost contact. It would be great to hear from any of
them. It's also nice to hear from someone in Woodbridge.
