Hi!
Welcome to our page!
Updates have slowed down a bit, because I've been busy, but please bear with me! I've also
changed computers, so if the format of some of the pages look funky, that's why. I am
adjusting them as I have time.
I was lucky enough to be able to attend July's Loring Ramp Rat Reunion (42nd Security Police
Squadron). It was awesome! My personal thanks to all the members of the Loring Military
Heritage Center for hosting a wonderful barbecue and tours, and to all of the wonderful
people who were able to attend.
I would also like to personally thank Johnny Anderson of Hogan Tire in Caribou, Maine
for taking good care of us when we arrived in Caribou with no brakes the weekend of the
Reunion (July 23-25). He squeezed us into his schedule, knowing that we needed to be
back on the road early Monday morning, and treated us right.
I also hope to have new pictures of Loring's Land Speed Records event posted soon. It was well
attended, and they had to stop twice to wait for the moose to vamoose from the flightline!
Congratulations to all of the participants, but especially to our friend, Greg Neal, for breaking
records and hitting over 203 miles per hour on his motorcycle - earning himself a spot in the 200
club!

Are you a member of the 42nd SPS? Visit their website http://www.loringramprats.com today!
Have a reunion coming up? Please let us know! If it's Loring-related, or military-related, I'm
interested! A lot of our Loringites were stationed many other places.
Memorial Roll:
Please see our Special Memorial Announcement. Thank you.
The Loring Military Heritage Center - On BASE!
The LMHC is awesome (and they can still use donations).
They now have their own website! www.loringafbmusem.org
And they're on Facebook!
Also, they are adding a 4 bay garage to hold all the flight line items that have been donated. It will
house the Jet Engine, the lift for planes, the old electric things, a moving car for the big items and
other things along that line. They need help in the way of any donations that they can get.
The Website:
More pictures coming soon! Do YOU have pictures that you'd like to submit? Think we wouldn't be
interested? Think again! It's easy! You can email pictures or send them through the mail. Details are
on our "About Us" page. Not sure of the size of the picture? Email it anyway!
If you run into something that's not working, please let us know. I'm moving things around and adding
new pictures as fast as I can, and I may be working on the page you're looking at!

Birth Certificates And Other Documents:
I get requests for these documents now and then. Unfortunately, this is an unofficial site, so I really
can't help you with that. However, the State of Maine can help you:
Maine Department of Health and Human Services : http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/index.shtml
The Loring Inn:
Unfortunately, the Loring Inn is no longer in operation. Should they find a new owner and re-open, I
will be sure to post an update.
The Rendezvous:
For those wondering, The Rendezvous is alive and well and I was there 3 times lately! Best. Pizza.
EVER. Just sayin'.
PHISH:
I haven't heard anything about an upcoming concert for PHISH, but if I get official word, I'll post
something. Meanwhile, I'd keep an eye on their official site for tour dates:
http://phish.com/
Planning A Visit?
I highly recommend getting in touch with the Loring Development Authority - http://www.loring.org .
They can tell you what's going on and what areas are off-limits. You don't want your journey back to
be tainted by a letter of trespass. :o) Mary Saunders has been a tremendous help to me personally, for
which I'm grateful.
