Top Row, Left to Right:
1 & 2. The first two shots are of the waiting area directly in front of the kennels back office building. In the second photo the building is partially visible to the right. Every day guardmount was held for the handlers under this overhang. The sidewalk leading off to the right leads into the kennels themselves. Directly ahead is the parking lot separating the kennels from the base radio station manned by the Resources Protection flights. The radio station's call sign was Shotgun.
In the second photo, from left to right are Steve Key, Bill Hardecker, Cavanaugh, Dale Warke with his MWD Bullet and Richard (NMI) Hill.

3. The parking lot between the kennels and Shotgun radio station. Barely visible behind the trucks is the white and yellow ramp for easy access to the trucks.

4. Blackie at his bird cage kennel. There were over 120 dogs assigned to Clark and space for all of them was a problem at times. There were two buildings which were separated into individual kennels and housed a great deal of the dogs. There were also what was referred to as bird cage kennels, like the one pictured above. Both sets of kennels were set in enclosed, fenced in compounds.

5. This photo is of some of the Clark trainers congregating at the kennels to discuss training.
