Lloyd is a former Marine Corps Master Sergeant. A pure New Yorker who grew up in the projects of Brooklyn, he's the best-known personality around here. He doesn't really stand on the bomb shelter like this, I asked him to climb up there. That's really my favorite spot and the best place for mobile phone reception. From up there I can see over the T walls that enclose our compound. In the evening when it's cooler I like to get up there and talk to friends and family. Over the wall I can see the flight line and the civilian terminal in the distance. Just a few feet lower and it's a boxed in blackout beneath the walls. A construction crew temporarily moved the shelter last week. I feel like somebody moved my favorite chair.

Lloyd is almost fifty, which I find hard to believe. Guy is youthful. Most fifty year olds would break a leg climbing up there.
