Officers Quarters:
Bob McCully and Earl Myers were residents of “This Castle on the Hill.”The original structure is under the “old” arrow. They added a living room to the two bedroom shack (see under the “new” arrow). They had a “local” dig a septic tank. Their water was solar-heated, on the roof. That is Earl, carrying a tub of water on his head.

Earl and Bob put a divider between them, in the middle of the room, and enclosed it for privacy. They shared a closet that had an opening on both sides. Earl says, Mac was a damn good pilot and room mate. He had a pearl handled six shooter and would knock off the rats at night.
