Arr-8.jpgThe Waldman Collection - We Arrive108 viewsChatting in the hallway as we arrived. We were in the midst of some very ominous weather reports. Tornadoes are common in this area and the sky was black and ugly. There were driving thunderstorms and high winds, but thankfully no tornadoes.

Our reunion had a rough start. The first night meeting at the Lawton Country Club was cancelled due to the heaving storming and tornado threats in the Lawton and Ft Sill area. The Club was kind enough to let us return the following night for another try.

This is the old FADAC computer; the artillery's first attempt to computerize the Fire Direction Center (FDC). However, even in 2013, they are using 60s-era firing charts complete with RDP out in the field.
