Who knew? It shows what a small world it is. Precious memories from back in the days of innocence-sure do miss them.

LoL

Wow! It's hard to believe that so much has changed since then. I would sure love to revisit the area someday to see it now. My then wife-Barb-God rest her soul-and I had a lot of fond memories of Pease AFB-my first assignment. If we are ever in the area-I'll let you know in advance. Take care and God bless.

@@CHUCKHUFFMANPRODUCT First let me say I am sorry for your lost sir. Yes the base hospital is now the Great Bay Community College. The O club is still there but the building isn’t used anymore. Along with that the building that used to be the 509 th AMS building is still there but is in bad shape. On the good side the north end of the airfield is the home of the 157 air refueling wing. It is a national guard unit. There are a couple of regional airlines that fly from here as well. The service central Florida. And the area where the F-111s used to be packed is now all private aircraft for the rich and famous LOL! If you are ever in the area, please do look me up. MSgt Bernie Burris USAF ret. 89’-10’

@@bernardburris9711 Thank you brother for your kind words and she was a great lady. I've since remarried to another great lady-very blessed. If the Lord blesses us to be in your neck of the woods, I most certainly will look you up and we'll catch up. Thanx for the updates-so many changes.

I hear you and would love to revisit those old times when my mother was still alive. I'd love to hear her voice in person and hug her again. Where does time go my friend? This video does take you back and glad you enjoyed it.

That would not surprise me at all (LoL), as we were such a tight knit community. My then wife-Barb-and I had a lot of fond memories of our 5-year tour of Loring. I still miss all the great people we were stationed with there. God bless and thanx for sharing.

Thanx for the shout out Defender and for your service. Doing what we did at Loring was no easy task and not everyone was/is cut out for it...but we can proudly say that we held it all down brother SP!

Who knows? I may have even run across you at one time or another. We got there in Jan-84 and left in Nov-88.

LoL I never thought abut that, but didn't hear it from you!

Yea...I hear you! Now I'm feeling really old (LoL).

I'm afraid it's one of those things we'll never know for sure.

I can't recall the bldg number to the dorm, but I have the SP dorm in one of my other Loring videos, I think. So sorry about your dad and I now have prostate cancer myself from who knows where? Keep up the fight my friend.

Im so sorry to hear that! God Bless you! You know its more than likely this base! It has horrific contaminations. I was thinking when watching this video, you two were being exposed to contamination that you can even see or imagine but its there. Its why the EPA shut it down. You should file a va disability claim.

@@chiefr31 That would not surprise me at all and my then wife-Barb-passed away a couple of decades ago. Who knows what may have led to some or all of her conditions-we'll never know for sure.

@@CHUCKHUFFMANPRODUCTbro please send me your email. You should be gettjng VA benefits.

Im so sorry for your loss. I am a widower as well. Its a terrible thing to have in common.

Thank you so much and how could I not mention all the places of my youth-they are still a part of me. Barb (God rest her soul) & I lived in LB for 3-years before I joined the US-Air Force and had to leave our beloved home. Great memories there.

What is not to love! My then wife-Barb (Rip) was born and raised there and we lived there from 1975-78 at which time I joined the military and had to move away...great memories.

You are so welcome, and it was a labor of love. I was one of the few people anywhere in possession of such video equipment back in those days. Something inside told me to make those cool videos as they might be important to somebody at some future date. Who could ever have dreamed that such a thing as social media would exist some 35-plus years in the future so that the footage could shared with the world. I'm so happy I listened to that voice inside-having no clue the impact my videos would have on so many folks today...thanx for sharing.

Thanks for sharing my friend and you are spot on about being able to do such a feat in those days when the videotaping technology was so brand new and unheard of. I managed to get that video equipment when stationed overseas-the only way I could possibly afford it (LOL) and that was a blessing. Something inside me told me to get that precious footage as it might somehow be important to someone at some future date. Who could possibly have known at the time that social media would at some point exist?! It was a leap of faith to obey that inner voice-nobody but the Lord.

I remember those great hits as well and what wonderful days they were! We had no idea that those would be our days of innocence. Something inside me told me to make those videos as they might somehow be important to someone at some future date...who could have known that such a thing as social media would someday exist for all of us to share in this wonderful blast from the past?! Thanx for sharing my friend.

Thanx for sharing and I'm an Asbury boy from the start and still at heart. At the time, the video technology was pretty much brand new and something inside told me to make those videos of home turf and elsewhere as they might be important to someone at some future date. Who could have known?!! It was a labor of love.

@@CHUCKHUFFMANPRODUCT I sure am glad you listened to your gut, coz it was a way pleasant time. There were problems, yes, but not the uncertainty of today...

@@robvegart Amen on that, my friend! I still refer to those days as our "days of innocents."

Who knows? I may have even see you and yours in the area back in the day.

@@mtnebobaptchurch 😄 Those were some of the best years of my life.

A lot of great memories from my days in Long Branch and Eaton Town. I miss Central Jersey and try to get back to visit at least every 2 or 3 years-no place like home!

Thank you so much and it was a real blessing to have the state of mind to create all those videos back then, as something told me that they would mean something to somebody at a future date; and boy did I ever get that one right. I made several more-check them out.

@@CHUCKHUFFMANPRODUCT Sir, I was not in the military but, from the way you and your personnel acted on the video I bet you helped every one of them below and above you both in their responsible service and personal efforts. Thank you for your service and God bless you.

@@mvg2x34 Thank you so much and may God continue to bless our great country!

Thanks brother Harry for the shoutout! I remember you and your brother-James very well. ironically, I was just thinking about you two last week-the time we all worked at Bell Labs in Holmdel together. We all grew up together in good old Asbury and where did the time go my friend. May God continue to bless you & yours.

LoL I hear you my friend! I look fondly back on those old memories of that place and even kind of miss it. Thanx for the shout out.

The last time we were in the area in Oct-2023, we didn't notice it being still there.

​@@mtnebobaptchurch they knocked the one in the video down early 2000s and built a new one up until 2022 when they leveled that one too 😢

Thank you so much for the shout out and it was a labor of love and we had no idea all this footage would someday be so valuable to so many people some 35-plus years in the future. But God knew and that's why he put it in my head to freeze those moments in time.

You are so welcome and it was a labor of love. There is no way at the time that I could have known that footage be so important to so many people some 35-plus years in the future. Who could have dreamed of social media where I'd be able to share it with the world? Only God knew. Thanx for the shout out.

You are so right! I was pretty much the only one who had such equipment back in the day, as it was just so darn expensive! I was blessed enough to buy it while stationed overseas where the American dollar was strong at the time. LoL as you could tell-I was like a celebrity, as this whole video thing was new to everybody. Lots of fun back then.

​@@CHUCKHUFFMANPRODUCT You're not lying. I just looked up the price, looks like they started at 1500 USD back in the 80s. That was like 4000 back then.

Thank you brother and so happy you got a chance to enjoy my crazy family. It goes to show-that the Getto wasn't all bad, we did have our fun spots and there was a lot of love there. Sadly, some of the folks in the videos have gone on to be with the Lord, but at the very least, we have them immortalized in "TH-cam heaven." Thanx for sharing.

Here's what I could dig up from my ancient archives (LoL) from the 80s-crazy family video clips filmed in Newark, NJ.

@@CHUCKHUFFMANPRODUCT Thanks Man you the best. I appreciate how you record everything.... Your content will live on forever

@@BryantJackson-t7b Thank you brother and I was fortunate enough to purchase that video equipment (super expensive) at the Aviano AB BX during my 3-year tour there in the USAF. Our dollar had surged against the local currency which is the only reason I was able to afford it. Something inside of me told me that all the video footage I collected back in the day would be valuable to somebody at some future date-who could have known-except for God almighty himself-that social media would exist some thirty plus years in the future! It was all a labor of love!

@@CHUCKHUFFMANPRODUCT WOW, & What's So Funny, is those kid's asking you were people going to See them & you Jokingly saying Their going to see you all around.... I know you didn't mean exactly that at the time but look what we are now that is truly amazing

@@BryantJackson-t7b No doubt brother-who could have known?!
