Introduction of Greg Brown - techie and more
     Greg wants to know what the head bone is connected to --

So Greg looked up NORAD - (North American Aerospace Defense Command)

I complained that some of the scans were "eye-ball-busters",
but Greg patiently explained
Ed,

Yea, it’s an old document and the scan is lousy.
I’m not so much thinking of putting it on an informational web page, 
but for my own information, I learned,

Interceptor sites in Cal were stationed at:

Hamilton AFB - San Rafael
Castle AFB - Merced
Fresno - ANG
Oxnard - Point Magu NAS
Ontario - ANG
El Centro - NAS

And the latest and greatest jet was the F-106

Nike sites in the US:

83 RA
48 NG
131 Total, 1966

Things I did not know…
