Angel Island Park Staff & Volunteer Greg Jennings Prepare
Equipment for the Clean Up at SF-91
The Staff Day clean up at the Nike Site On Angel Island was a great success. On Wednesday, 17 May, 2006, pretty much the entire staff on the island showed up with heavy equipment and lots of hand tools to spend most of the day in an effort to clean up the launch site area. Hasps and hinges were welded on all of the magazine hatches, much of the old metal, and wood that had been stacked in the area was moved and staged for removal. Several of the women on the staff went down the ladder into the "A" Section Magazine and removed debris from the inside of the magazine that had been tossed down the various open access holes over the years. Several other of the staff, male and female, manned weed whackers and cut down the weeds in the area. One of the staff, who normally pilots the boat ran the skip loader and filled the refuse bin with all sorts of heavy junk that had been lying around the site for years. At the end of the day, everyone was treated to Park Superintendent's Dave Matthew's considerable Bar-B-Que skills with a fine dinner served at Quarters 10 at Camp Reynolds. The park staff and volunteers are to be congratulated for such a successful effort.
