Remember the carnivals that were right out side of Neu Worfeldon? ABBA brings back memories. I have their "Greatest Hits" in the car. My 4 yr old loves the "Money" song- LOL. And my 70ish mother got me the CD- she has just started listening to the...
You guys all have such great memories - I feel mentally challenged. My sister Renee and I worked together at the Airport Cafeteria the summer of 76 and we had a blast though we did have to see some of our friends leave. I think that's when I first...
What did you go to Waldorf for? Cheryl Smith and I both lived there at one point and I was asking her if she remembered the Pommes Fritz (ms?) machine in Waldorf. So cool. You just put something like 50 phennings (def. misspelled) in and in a few ...
omg, the "bump", too funny. Thanks for reminding me. Didn't we also do the "hustle", also? Seems like there was a song (KC & the Sunshine Band???) and the only lyrics I remember was "Do the hustle".
One of my brothers and his buddy went into that "Mine Field" and got HAMMERED, then when it was time to go home the "Buddy" (who will remain nameless) passed out so when my brother couldn't wake him up he came home.
Needless to say when our Dad go...
anyone remember the are off base behind Gateway Gardens that had the fence around it? We all though it was and called it the " Mine Field " as I recall there were signs about explosives and stuff out there along the fence. They had let loose alot ...
They must have had the same old pinball machine that was there in '69 to '71 when I was there. I do remember reaching into the back of it at the cafeteria.
Bumper cars, no wonder my neck and back are so screwed up, everytime I think of bumper cars I think of aba, or abba, which is it, playing in the background, and see the flashing lites. i loved the beer tents and carnivals on base, it was such grea...
It was called" Unkle Toms Cabin - At least that is what the Germans Called it. As I remember they had a big fire there around 1974 or so. Can not be sure
One of the guys I knew at Frankfurt did this and lost hiw legs. He was not from R/M but ran into a gy in the Navy that told me the story. How about those crazy Homeless Guys that hung out at Hauptwauke. There was that one guy that did tricks by pu...
I can remeber standing for hours at a time. It was worse when you were trying to go to Walldorf. When the base would go on alert and no one could leave. Nothing like walking through those dark woods out the back gate to Walldorf at night. All thos...
Hey Tom, thought I would stop by and say hi. Hope all is well with you, and that your move to be closer to family has been good for ya. we had a great time with your little brother in Vegas, what a blast, would have been great to have you there, maybe next year hugh.. hope so. Have you spoken to Wanda lately, tell her hi for me if you talk to her. I have been really busy, taking care of all my executor duties, and the trip to Vegas. Got Mom's house sold, it was on the market about 3 days when we got an offer, we did a lot of staging, didn't spend much of anything to fix it up, just touched up trim, painted one room a neutral color, and got about 65 % of the extra furniture out, it showed very well, i was still suprised at an offer so quickly in this market, but it was and is a great house. Well my friend, keep in touch, take care, Bitty
Tom, right now I'm sippin on a cup of coffee with Almond creamer! It's so-o-o good!
Your memory isn't the only one thats sketchy so don't feel bad! I bet my Dad was one of your Instructors! He did love it! He loves Biloxi too! He frequents the casinos and has spoiled me a few times when I visited. Dad's a lot of fun! Yeah, everything there is building up and growing again!
I'll have to dig down in my memory for The England memories....Drunk - laughing so hard my ribs hurt, ...??? Loved the Ferry!:) The family I stayed with was very nice to me! I'll ponder on it some more! What about you?
Hey Tom, Tina is living here in Central Fla, her hubby is a Lawyer, Her Daughter Natasha just finished coll i think, I'm not sure, but i think she may have had another kid, Wanda lives here too, she is in Deltona or Sanford, she was at the picnic sunday, but we were on our way home from the Keys. I will get intouch with her and tell her you said hi, Max Tina's little brother was there too, wish i could have seen him, haven't seen him in about 4 years. I don't know if Kent Spicer was there. As for Dan, I do remember him wasn't he and Tina dating for a long time? I don't know where he is but, I will check on classmates.com for you, I have a membership there. There is a great pic of the three of you ontop of the lockers in one of my yearbooks, the 80 or 79 one, not sure. Keep diggin in on these sites, it takes a while to get the hang of it all, but it is a lot of fun to catch up, later, Bitty
Hey, it's about time we took another hike on the Taunus Mtns. Or maybe just sat in the park and had a couple. Hope things have gotten better since we last spoke.
Welcome home Tom, Glad you made it, I know you have lots of old friends on here. Have a blast. Remember the sky trip with the Martin Group, where I passed out in the bath room because I drank too much with Cindy Rogers up the mountain, and the door was locked, my mom freaked out, and one of the Guys climed outside from window to window, with all that ice on the ledges 2 stories up, just to rescue me. My mom was so pissed, I was like, what? I just didn't want to get sick in the bed room. ha ha ah. Tracy McKain went with my family, Tina Benadict, Max, and and a bunch of others, Kent and Sandy Spicer of course. I wish Kent would sign up here. Now that you are here, and Bill is here, all you guys need now is for Dan to sign up and the three Amegos would be back together again. take care, Bitty
