Missile Misses at Dairy Queen in Minot, circa 1977

This was a later team of Missile Misses, probably 1977.  Mike and I must have treated them to ice cream at the Minot Dairy Queen.  For those crews going to the 740th Strategic Missile Squadron sites of Alpha through Echo, south of Minot, they would pass by this Dairy Queen in the morning.

Over the years, I was at every Launch Control Center in the squadron except Charlie, Hotel and Mike because they were the command LCC's for each squadron, requiring special training to man those capsules.  But I was at all of the others at least once in my 235 tours on alert at Minot AFB.

Mike Durr is in the middle picture in the top row.  Jan Lawler, often the team's best player, is second from the left in the top row of all three pictures.  Debbie Durr, Christie Durr, Sally Miller and I comprise the bottom row.
