  Richard, I was stationed in Merrill from 1961-63. I drove an M113 for a year assigned to the S-3 section. I then drove for the S-3. I had friends in the 53 ord. They did me some solids. I had Hq 3 painted, had doors put on, slip covers, a map box and a reading light put on. Can't remember how I repaid the guys but I did not smoke so I'm sure there were several bottles of hooth and cartoons of butts. The Ord guys were great!!!

  The photo was taken Nov 2008 at the old motor pool. That is a Chevy DelRay. Never heard of one before.

  Welcome back to the Cav, Richard. I was in Bindlach 1954-55 with my dad, and again 1974-75 on my own. Been back twice since then to visit. I was just in Nurnberg and Bindlach this July. Not much of either barracks you would remember. Most of the original buildings are gone.

  Christensen Barracks near Bindlach is its own berg now...Bindlachberg. It's a big housing area and the HQ building, one of the few originals left, is a retirement home.

  The motor pool is still there. It is businesses now, one of them restoring classic American cars.

  We've got several groups going here on Dragoon Base for you to check out. You definitely qualify for the Old Timer's group.
