ATTU, POST-WWII SCRAPBOOKS
We started our post-WWII Attu Scrapbook collection with pictures submitted by Russ Marvin, a
civilian at the time, who took on the challenges to visit Attu with a tour group hosted by a then
very active tour agency “Attour, Inc.” which provided the means for birders to visit Attu. The
group was hosted by the U. S. Coast Guard, and quartered in the old abandoned LORAN-A
station’s buildings at Casco Cove. Kare Lohse, a Danish airline pilot who flew over the
Aleutian Islands during his airborne excursions got in touch and contributed several photos
he’d taken during those flights. We’ve since added contributions from Keven Mackey and Hal
Tenney, each once stationed on Attu, rounding out our initial efforts to present scrapbook
pages from those having Attu connections during Post-WWII years.
