My Song Memories
Number
20 and its accompanying memory
Number
20, Lonely Weekends, brings up a myriad of memories, all related to days when
I was stationed at the Naval Air Station, North Island, in San Diego. I was
attached to Tactical Air Control Squadron 13 and we operated out of a hangar
on the north side of the island. On the south side was an air terminal and
it had a little cafeteria that made the best grilled "spam" and
cheese in the world. They did not use the traditional canned Spam that we
are all so familier with. Not sure what meat they used but everyone in the
squadron loved them. Grilled spam, cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, the whole
thing. Very sloppy but absolutely delicious. Consequently, most evenings and
weekends, when the troops would get hungry, we usually had someone make a
"geydunk" run over to the terminal cafeteria and bring back a load
of food. Then we would all continue to sit around in the tv lounge and watch
tv or play poker or pinochle. This song, Lonely Weekends, just seemed to be
playing a lot and was near the top of the charts. How appropo for all us lonely
troops staying on base. So many great cards games, tv shows, and whatever
other activites we would get into. Great times. It just made the Lonely Weekends
less lonely.
