Dunkle and Noll on Hill 610

Here are two of the stalwart hero radiomen after a stint of three months on the top of the Hill 610. Dunkle was a neat guy and a hard worker. I remember that I enjoyed the freedom of being on my own with nothing to interfere with my studies of learning the Korean Language. I had begun to learn the language at another station. I had met a Korean who had spent 25 years in Mexico some 25 years before and could speak Spanish but spoke no English. I had taken Spanish in school and learned Korean through our mutual language. I would ask him, "Como se dice?" How do you say this? I built up my vocabulary bit-by-bit and learned grammar as well. I learned how to conjugate verbs.
