  Tim,

             I gotta know you . I am sure you laid an omelet on my plate. With grits! All the strange food we learned to like. Course it helps to be hungry. I have 4 kids- ages twins 9(boy &girl) Girl 11, Girl 13 and we are basketball freaks . I coach two teams and 3 of the kids play. At the ripe old age of 52 I am busier then ever. Toujors Pret!

   

                                                      Your Friend

  PS enjoy your child it goes super fast!

  Hello Tim,

  Ah, Camp Gates....loved the food and the freedom there.  Away from HQ and very little interaction with the "brass" when they rotated through.  Ran the PX and avoided the scam that the German's tried with the PX operators. 

  You might want to take a look at the Oldtimer's group.  You may find someone there you knew.  Don't let the name scare you, we take oldtimers of all ages.  It's just that we get a bit cynical with things.

  Not a problem. You should see the Rock now. It's pretty spooky visiting that place after all these years. Not many of the original buildings left, but there are a few. In 2008 I found the neighborhood we lived in when my dad was in the 2d Cav 1953-55.

  Just look on the front page of the site, down near the bottom where all the videos are. Click on "view all" at the bottom right corner of the video section.

  I was there from 86 to 88, in Bravo Troop. I was a Mortar Maggot. I think someone on the site has film of the border post after it was closed. Weird to see paint falling off the walls, etc..
