I was born at a US Army hospital in Shirley Mass, silly question but is this the only US Army medical facility in the area? Was it The former Fort Devans? Are there any pictures of the facility? I’d love to see some official photographs from the late 1960’s if any exist? This was my first breath of air on the planet. Thanks!
