Two weeks later, Hurricane Maria dealt the island a tremendous blow when near- Category 5 winds lashed the island, de- molishing homes, creating mudslides in the mountainous areas and destroying businesses and resort areas. “It’s still bad,” Mock said. “We’re be- ginning to see some people who are just coming down from the mountains.” Mock said recent rains have made some areas of the island still suscepti- ble to mudslides. In Clarendon County, Mock wears a variety of hats. He’s a forensically trained nurse, first responder, HAZMAT technician, Firefighter II, certified diver and a certified driving instructor. Since he’s been in Puerto Rico, he’s had to put several of those skills to use. Mock was working with a South Car- olina team. When they returned to the state, he moved over to a North Caroli- na team, and now he’s moved on to a team from New York. “I’m just happy I can help,” Mock said. “We’re all on this mission togeth- er.” PHOTO PROVIDED Home for the time he’s been in Puer- An MQ-9 Reaper sits on the flight line of Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, on Aug. 19, before maintenance that will keep to Rico has been a tent.

THE SUMTER ITEM SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2017 | C3 REFLECTIONS Sponsored by The Sumter Item Civilians were important to Shaw Field BY SAMMY WAY Sumter Item Archivist

his week, Reflections looks back at the inception of Shaw Field, an important period of Sumter’s T history. The military base played an integral role in the economic growth and development of the Sumter community. Many contributions made by civilian em- ployees who worked hard to expedite the arrival and de- velopment of the base have been nearly lost.

The Sumter Daily Item pub- lished several articles high- lighting the names and con- tributions of Sumterites who worked at the base during and after World War II.
