Okay, I know this is NOT breweriana, it's a coffee cup for crying out loud! Oh wait, I forgot about Irish coffee! Hmmm, well maybe we can still lump it under that very broad category LOL Sometime from 1979-82 I placed a suggestion into the George AFB Suggestion Program and heck if I know what it was but I got this coffee cup for my efforts! Enjoy! Opa Fritz

BREWERIANA: George AFB, 35th Supply Squadron Beer Stein
A little souvenir beer stein from my first air base: George AFB, Victorville, California. This would date from 1980 and is lettered for the 35th Supply Squadron. The unit's slogan was "Let's Make SNO Together" which was short for "Let's Make Supply Number One Together" and the stein itself was an award from when I had won the unit's Airman of The Month Award for August 1980, then later the Base Airman of The Month. A year or so later the unit was redesignated the 831st Supply Squadron but I have no mugs or anything with that logo. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Ed's Travelogue: George AFB Air Show 14 October 1979 - Pt 6 More USAF Thunderbirds
This meet-&-greet was going on at the same time the parachutists were doing their thing so I was panning back-&-forth getting shots of both activities. I took a gazillion photos of the T-Birds so will present them here in a couple of few installments. Enjoy!
