About Me:
I went to Rhein Main from 7th grade through 9th. I played on the Jr. Travel team for football called the Ravens. I also played football on the Chargers. I played basketball on the Rhein Main Falcons. Mr. Rogers was the coach.
I went to Frankfurt and played J V Soccer and spent way too much time in Sh1t Park. Shortly after....
I spent 5 years in the U S Navy as a Gunnersmate. After my stint in the Navy I went to college at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
I have spent my working life in the Carpet Industry in North Georgia. I have spent most of my career in international sales and marketing. My wife and I have a private business which renovates hotels through out the Eastern USA. I continue to work with a specialty carpet producer taking care of thier international business.

Debbie Vaughn Mead introduced me to this site and for the last month it has been one trip after another down memory lane. I have met two people I have not seen or spoken with in 32 years! What a most wonderful experience. I hope evryone finds a sense of community that many of us lost when we left Rhein Main for the last time.

PS Go Vols!

It's funny how people will ignore you or even abuse you if they think they are on top. Then like you said, now he wants some help. Were his tools worth buying?(haha). There is nothing unethical about doing the best you can, taking care of your customers, your employees, and providing a good living for your family.
Keep rolling my friend, I am cheering you on.

I still think it is great that your business is still getting new clients. I would think that hotels would take one of two approaches during this downturn; either hunker down and hope for the best or get aggressive and upgrade, market, etc. I think the second approach will pay off for these guys as they claim even greater market share from being aggressive. You can survive playing defense but eventually you have to attack if you want to win.
Are you still getting customers from your website?

Ken, I went back through our previous conversations and you mentioned that John has MS. Any idea how he is doing? My wife has MS and if he needs a friend to talk to, give him my info.

Ken, I don't remember John Massey and couldn't find him in the year books. Was he the same grade as us? When was he there?

Wow, you are lucky you didn't get caught. I remember those rolling shutters. They were so heavy they lifted my youngest brother off his feet. Great memories!!

Hi Ken,
I am going to find some old letters that have the address. I would love to see the old house. We had the third floor, just two bedrooms, an attic and a bathroom. My mom and dad's apartment was below us and we had to go to the common hallway to get to their part. On the bottom floor, was a German family with one child. We drove them nuts! We would take the twin mattress and slide down the cylinder stairs into our parents apartment. You could hear us banging on the wall of the stairwell. My parents were gone or they would have kicked our butts! Gee, fun memories. Thanks for the Google tip!

I cannot remember our address in Waldorf. I could tell you everything about the house, though. I remember the "Great Truck" day when the large garbage truck would come to take large items away. We came home with a treasure trove of antiques. We were so excited! I don't remember the girl you named. I remember our neighbors across the street, Helga and Gerhardt Himmel. I wrote to them for years afterwards. I like Waldorf and walked all over that town but now I can only remember certain things about it. I didn't get my bike until we lived in Gateway.

Hey Duck thanks for the welcome, I like you went from 6th thru 9th grade there, played BB for 3 yrs, we took all european 2 of those 3 yrs. so being like ages at like places I'm sure we did like things, regardless of years, Though "pot" was only heard of and never seen when I was there, I sure it was some diffrent during your years, but I sure made up for it in "Binding", to this day I still can't drink beer unless it's German, Dutch, Check or Belgum, just can't do American Beer. I to went to Germany in the military, Army for me, spent 1975-1979 in Mainz God that was good!

Hi Ken,
I left in July 1973 and did not get that yearbook. I lived in Waldorf the 2nd year and then on base for the last two.
