June 30, 2004 Wendy Summers Remember when we skipped school and toured the gasthofs in Soest, only to get caught when we went to the Sally Ann for lunch??? Lots of good memories and great friends I have lost contact with.... June 30, 2004 Ian Knowles The best years of my life. Three years with no TV, just good old fashion playing outside. Who can forget playing in the forest behind the PMQ's . Playing in the rock formations on the way to the base , trading comics, the move theater, the great long exploring walks with your pal's. It's amazing how much fun you can have without TV. Terry Penny and Lee if you out there please contact me. Thanks for the wonderful memories. ( I still have my report cards for grades three and four) June 24, 2004 Wes Hamilton A great site...recognize a few entries...good to see some interest by the next generation....have managed to return, as my daughter now resides in Tubingen. Our children attended School in Werl 62-65, and of course went through all our attempts to communicate in German. I am now fascinated with her now complete fluency.4CIBG was I believe the high-point of my 33 year military career. The tasks of today's military are much less desirable than a our "Tour of the Ruhr". Feel fortunate all our "Bug-out's" were only "dry run's"....and we got to immensely enjoy a working holiday. Regards, Wes Hamilton, Angus, On. June 15, 2004 Nita Knowles happy to see pics from past if you have more drop me a line June 12, 2004 Steve Brodsky 59-62. Vintage years, at e height of the Cold War: Building of Berlin Wall ('61), and Cuba missile crisis ('62). This grand website, with its peaceful scenes of parades and PMQs, brings back a time when none of it seemed very real to us. June 12, 2004 Chuck Straight I appreciate the effort to bring back old memories for all who served through out the years. June 6, 2004 Tom Walton Just a great site. Great photos but would like to see more. The best times I had in Germany was my time in Werl. Went over single and came back married with two sons. June 5, 2004 Harvey Lamb Great Site.
