Those early "emigrants" were CMSgt. Arno Dreyer and SMSgt. Hans Andersen from the Royal Danish Air Force. Upon their t ur f it :" F - J- - . J I I 'rfr t ' ' i arrival in Utah they were "overwhelmed" at the mountains and looking forward to experiencing life in these United States and most particularly Utah. Eighteen months later, upon their departure for the European phase of MOT&E, the two were still "overwhelmed" by the beautiful mountains, leaving behind many special friends and taking back to their native Denmark fond memories of the time they spent working at Hill AFB and vacationing throughout Utah. There were mixed emotions shared at plane-sid- e as the European consortium departed Hill AFB this week. Mrs. Lea DeWachter from Belgium summed her feelings up saying, "I am excited to board the plane to go home, and yet I am already homesick for Utah and my friends I leave behind." "Have had greatest time of life" Maj.Tor Olsen says of his stay, "My family and myself have had the greatest time of our lives." Some candid parting remarks to the question "What will you miss most?" were: take-outthe "the cheap gas, the fast-foo- d and the to Las TDYs good Vegas, people, times." Odd Col. Lt. of the European Phase of Commander MOT&E, said, "On behalf of all participating Europeans I want to thank our American friends for the wonderful eighteen months we had together here.

"All our families had to adapt to new conditions, socially and at school very different from home and at work we had to learn to function in the immense USAF system. But we all did learn to cooperate, and that goes for our USAF partners as well," he said. "I think that all participants in the 6 MOT&E, from working so closely together, F-1- will take home a more cosmopolitan outlook which in the long run will tend to improve NATO cooperation, and increase the security of involved nations," the colonel said.
