Terry Brines 16 Jun 2011:
I served on Treasure Island at the Navy Receiving Staton (building 218) from 1963 – 1967. Have some
pictures. The Receiving Station was a tenant command and later became a part of the Naval
Station.

For Mr. Edens, I was in TI’s ETA school about the same time you were there. I remember moving into the new barracks, had a beer machine! LOL I took a few pictures you might like to see. They are linked at this site:

Aha, the same chapel in which Patty Hearst celebrated her own secret nuptials! Unfortunately, since Treasure Island is no longer an active Navy base, that chapel is no longer active. The building does still exist, but it's now a private facility, available for event rentals and so on. I would suggest contacting either the Navy or the Treasure Island Development Authority for more information. If anyone reading this can add anything to help Mary, please leave a comment here.

Steve — Another resource that might be of help:

There’s a message board on the Treasure Island Museum site that gets a lot of traffic from veterans searching for memories — you might try posting there as well. Click on the “Memory Book” link.

Good luck!

Hi, I graduated from Radar “A” School at TI in the spring of 1971. I stayed in the old concrete Transit Barracks and soon after arriving moved into one of the brand new barracks just then completed. I failed to take many pictures while there. Could I possibly get someone to E-mail some photos of these structures and possibly the old base movie theatre so I can show them to my grandsons ? I would greatly appreciate it . Thanks sovery much,Steve Edens
