This may be the wrong venue, however–
About 1953 I installed a mobile x-ray machine in a temporary unit at Bethel–after the hospital was destroyed by fire. Later, I installed a full sized x-ray in the replacement hospital. Previously had installed several units in Sitka ANS, and later one in Kanakanak.
I would appreciate being directed toward any information regarding the Bethel ANS hospital at that time.

Also, don’t forget to write up or take notes on your experience.
In the meantime, here is a photo of where some of your old digs lie now–
