Commanding officer LtCol Curtis H Keeler.
In March the base dining facility was awarded
the “Hennessy Trophy” as the outstanding food service facility in the air division. This was the culmination of months of preparation by food service and civil engineering
personnel, doing such things as installing picture windows in the dining hall, painting, cutting trees to open the view of
Lake Champlain, and generally sprucing up and modernizing the dining hall.
In June the Air Force Beach was opened on a piece of land that was leased by the Air Force on the
West Shore of Hathaway Point. The "Beach" featured a snack shack, bathhouses, the famous privy, volleyball, and boats all
for the use of squadron personnel.

1. The officers club was established in 1963 using the
beautiful all mahogoney bar which was "borrowed" from Ethan Allen AFB.
2. The cute little all denominational chaple was established
just up the hill from the Orderly Room.
3. A curb was built by the Base Engineers completely
around the tennis court. Tlhis provided the means to flood it for an ice skateing rink in the winter.
