The K-4-61 part of the title refers to Korean class of April 1961, at Yale University's Institute of Far Eastern Languages, that I attended as an Airman of the United States Air Force Security Service.
When I arrived, the the Company-sized detachment (Detachment 2 ???) was headquartered in THIS building at 109 Grove Street (???)' ...
THAT building was one of FOUR dormitories we had; only ONE other of which I remember (the one I was assigned to) at 1 Hillhouse Ave, New Haven, CT,
Searches for "1 Hillhouse" come up with THIS pic of Warner House ...
... plus THESE, which look a LOT more familiar ...
Mistrusting my 57-year old memory, I HOPE some of you will help me get it RIGHT about Hillhouse.
My arrival was TWO YEARS before the release of "The Haunting" (based on Shirley Jackson's novel, "The Haunting of Hill House"; of which I was NOT aware at that time). but that TOP photo of the Warner House would CERTAINLY qualify as "spooky", and the OTHERS can be unsettling on a "dark and stormy night".
I HOPE some of my IFEL buddies can help me on the questions. If ANY of you have photos from that time, I'd LOVE it if some were scanned and emailed to me. I recall Joseph W*** sending a few, some years ago, but they were LOST when my previous computer DIED in 2015.
I HOPE I can UPDATE or REDO this post, FAR MORE ACCURATELY, down the line.
I'm ALSO gonna see if I can find some department at Yale that might help with the the Hillhouse history.
Thanks, in advance, ;-)
