  • I work at a blood bank that is in the old commisary building on the base.
  • Lots of good memories from Lowry.
  • This area is also mislabeled...it should say, or might say, "Lowry neighborhood, former site of Lowry Air Force Base." The area is not closed now, it is a perfectly open, redeveloped neighborhood, with a range of owned and rented facilities from multi-million dollar homes to subsidized apartments. The so-called Military Dorm is apartments, the Wings Over the Rockies Museum is half the size it is shown here, the campus includes several community colleges, a Univ. of Northern Colorado buiding, medical and dental clinics, a Montessori school, etc., etc.

  • I was stationed at Lowry, AFB in 1982-85 I started out in Law Enforcement, from there I worked Corrections and Rehabilitation--I later Cross-Trained into Telecommunications. I had a great dentist--he was very gentle and I sure wish I could find him today!
  • The dentist did my Wisdom teeth in 1984, he pulled all four and I had no pain whatsoever--before or after! Yes he is that good! (and I was always terrified of Dentists)--he really put me at ease and did a wonderful job! I was Sgt. Boozer back then.
  • I was there in 1983.

  • This is a wiki. If you took the time to register, why not take the time to improve the map? :-)
