Dave,It looks like you just came from THE WALL in Nurnberg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had a good time did you????????
I got out of the Army in 1971. For me this tax break started the year after the war in Viet Nam ended.Back then it was supposed to be good for only 10 years but they made it life time.It saves me 15% off the county tax bill,around 250-300 dollars ...
The old mess hall,now a German restaurant! Was at Pond Barracks 69-71.Visited in 2001&2002,still a great little town.
Yeah,the wooden stock would give you slivers!
Dave,being dressed like that and drinking in that chair,you will never catch the Swine Flu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who Remembers
Another old one!! The little German store on the way to Nurnberg.In the early 70's we called it Queer Willy's.He made you a sandwich and gave you a drink for just about nothing.He took the money out of your hand.Great guy always took care of the GI's . Anyone remember??? Tom.

James F. Burgos said… - Hi Thomas, sorry but the only Terry I remember was Terry Foster ( Ohio ) who was the Company Clerk of HQ Trp. Our 1st Sgt. was Archie Griggs. Personnel Section Sgt. was SFC Turner and OIC of Personnel was CWO 3 Bruce Woodward. ( what a dork! ) WAIT WAIT.. there was a Terry in the office, don't remember his last name but he hailed from Rhode Island. SP 5 Albert worked across the hall in S 2. God, it has been so long. What is " Red Eye " ?

Dr Steve Bennett said… - Tom, I was at Pond Barracks from February 68 - March 69 as Company Clerk in K Troop. I was not a doctor then. I can't recall that I ever went on sick call or to the dispensary so the name CPT Nelson doesn't ring a bell. 40 years ago ...WOW

Wayne Dixon said… - Hello Tom, we have been having a few 100s, but the coming week should be down in the mid 90s for awhile. We have had a few sprinkles, sure could use some more. Have been busy the last two weeks getting another handicap vehicle, mine was costing to much on up keep. VA helped me buy this one they paid over 30 thousand on it, having all the handicap work done on it. Sure glad I could not afford it, these vehicles cost over 40-50 thousand, to much but what can you do, have to be able to get around.
We have been doing ok health wise, hope you and the family are doing ok. You and the family take care, we send our best wishes.
