This Week in Chester History…

In 1955, the Ground Observer Corps post on Telephone Hill was manned from 10 am to 10 pm. Veterans and beginners helped spot all planes flying over the area and “flash” the reports to the Air Defense Command Filter Center at White Plains. Among the veterans on duty were Janet Abeles, Jane Dean, and William Cowie. Robert Minard assisted in getting the spotting going and reporting some of the first flashes of the day.
