Hetzendorf Ronald    9799 Ridge View Rd, Prineville, Oregon, 97754, (760) 828-2896, ronhetz@gmail.com.  I did three different tours with Kentron as Calibration Lab Lead Tech. Also was bartender at Yokwe Yuk club and the Vets Hall. Have many great memories of Kwajalein:  the people, fishing trips, relaxed atmosphere, just an overall great place to live and work.  I'm now retired from working in May 2007, bought a 32' 5th wheel trailer and plan on traveling through the US, Canada and Mexico for a few years. After leaving Kwaj in 1987 I spent 13 years in Saudi Arabia and enjoyed extensive traveling around the world, returning to the United States in 2000 to work for Calibrate, Inc. calibrating Pipettes in Southern California.


A Xmas Party photo taken December 1971.  As I remember, we had a punch called Death and one
called Life.  The Death was high in alcohol content and tasted just like fruit punch.  It packed quite
a punch and a lot of wobbly bikes.
