My bad.
In 1954 they were working on the main runway at the Plattsburgh,NY AFB. It was to be a SAC base. My grandfather tells me a friend killed a 4-5 foot rattler. That was unheard of in that NE part of the Adirondacks. The AO was full of history from the last of the Mohigans, all the Indians, Samuel De Champlain, the only Naval battle of 1812, Fort Ticonderoga south, etc.
