We go military today, for our weekly Kapuskasing history feature, made possible by the Kap Public Library.
In its archives is the Northern Times issue of May 23rd, 1962. It carries a story about the Lowther Air Station being handed over to the Canadian Forces from U.S. Forces on July 1st, 1963.
Commanding officer Maj. Arthur Fox announced it to about 100 invited guests at the annual reception marking American Armed Forces Day.
Ramore had already been assumed by Canadian command. Pagwa was set for that a month before Lowther.
