Gregory Stewart
GStewart@bremerton.psasd.navy.mil

My name is Gregory Stewart and I was stationed at Subic Bay, Philippines and NAS Cubit Point from 1984 to 1990.  I took my family up to Camp John Hay  in Baguio atl least three to four times, and we stayed in the Cabins up there and would get up early in the morning and go to the market, and from there we would take the kids to ride the horses in town.  All of the food was great as well.  There was everything that you would need in the cabins, refrigerator, stove and a fire place.  It was such a beautiful place, as well as while we were there we would go to the Philippine Naval Academy which was set up like West Point.  The whole experience was beautiful and I will never forget it.  I do plan to get back up there one day and take a tour.

Looking for Al Johnson who was in the AF and stationed at John Hay in ’70 and maybe ’71. He worked in the Comm Sq. He was from Sommers Point, NJ if my memory serves me right. Thanks

I worked in John Hay during the early 70’s. I was at Mile High Recreation Center and then at the JHAB Fire department. I last went home to JH in 96 and everything has changed. I was able to stay on base housing overlooking the 19th Hole ( I believe ). Saw many old friends from Police and Fire department. Write me a note if you know me or just want to reminisce. I now live in Mercer Island (near Seattle) and work for a health care company.

Interesting if someone even remembers. I was stationed at Clark and remember staying with my wife and baby (now a medical school student) at CJH and enjoying the cool weather. Still have a nice pic of us on some lake nearby in a paddle boat. We were in our 20s then, 50s now.

Hi.  I lived at Clark for 3 years in the 70's   My family of 6 often went to John Hay for something or another. I remember the golf course. Rolling hills. It was beautiful. I remember an archery range. I remember some dogs that were chained up outside the main building there. I guess it was the R.R. It sure had a cool temp. there too. We stayed in the bungalows. I remember the little pond outside the club.  It had a little bridge. The photo in the scrapbook does'nt show it, but I remember it. Of course we can't forget the lionhead. Sincerially,  Russ Lobb

Dawn Oates
ausiepurple@yahoo.com

My name is Dawn Oates.  I am looking for anyone who was stationed with my father Cpl. Thomas L. Oates. (he might have even been a sgt.).  I am unsure of what his duties were.  He was stationed at Camp John Hay between 1941-1945.  I know he had two pet monkeys, one was named Jocko, the other I am unsure.  My father has passed on, and I am looking for pictures of him from that time.  If someone could please contact, I would really appreciate it.  One name I can recall him mentioning was a Sgt. Morrow.   Thank You!!

Hello to any of you who may remember me. I return to Philippines to visit each year. I am amazed at how much Baquio and Camp John have changed. I liked it better the way it use to be! I loved Cmp John Hay and the individuals that I lived and worked with, both American and Filipino.It was like a family. I have many fond memories from those days high in the mountains at the most beautiful place in the Philippines!!
