Kathleen M. Rodgers Visits Former England Air Force Base (setting for THE FINAL SALUTE)
On our way to my husband’s high school reunion in New Orleans, Tom and I stopped by the former England Air Force Base in central Louisiana, the setting I fictionalized in my novel, THE FINAL SALUTE. When the base closed in 1992, the city of Alexandria took over the complex.
We visited with Jon W. Grafton, Executive Director of England Industrial Airpark & Community. In this photo, Jon and I are standing in front of an aerial photograph of the base in what had been the wing commander’s office in the old headquarters building.
In the second photo, I’m standing in front of the old base chapel…the sight of a climatic scene in my novel.
