Hi Steven,

I was stationed in Amberg from January, 1968 through August 1969 but I don't know if our paths ever crossed.  I started in L Troop but had some medical issues culminating in a variety of light duty assignments including Unit Police, Reenlistment Clerk, Post Office Clerk, Post Gymnasium Manager and M Troop Clerk.

My wife was with me and we lived in the new apartment building across the street from the dependent housing and officers quarters adjacent to the side gate.

Looking at Google Earth and YouTube, much has changed.

Phil...

Ed,

Mike Nofstger is a member here at Dragoon Base, but hasn't posted anything in over a year. You can find him on Facebook also.

Dave, I have been using another Cav site and FB for most of the time.  I am still looking for Sgt. Masters and Marquardt from the Adjutant's office.  Anyone know about either of them?

Roger that, Mike. Just letting Ed know you were still alive and well.

Sorry, not a clue on Masters and Marquardt.

Absolutely. Too often around here when you don't hear from someone for awhile, they have PCS'd to Fiddler's Green.
