We were there at the same time. Amazing. I arrived Pond Barracks fall 75, then straight to Hohenfels until M Co barracks were ready to occupy. Left Oct 77. I remember SGT Lawrence (tall, skinny guy with a studder), SGT French, SSG Witwer/Witmer (spoke fluent German, called him Buzzard), SFC Frazier (little stumpy guy), 2LT Cook (called him Cookie Man, Cpt Hill used to gnaw him like a chew toy). I recall some of the faces in your pics. Looking for my album, should have some pics to post soon. BTW, passed Sanford on Disney thing last summer. Sholter

Got married to fine Christian lady here. Weather is good most of the time and the dollar goes a long way; not like back in the US. Recently came back to LA for a visit with family and friends. I see you live in Sanford, FL. Traveled there quite a few times visiting friends over in Lake Alfred.
