Good morning to all from my old stomping ground, Wiesbaden Germany!
Yesterday was a great day. We left Stuttgart and went to Darmstat. The first place we stopped was the chapel that I met Glenda at. We stood in the very same place where we first spoke. As Joel Johnson would say, it was "al-so0mme." We went to see Glenda's old housing area and ate lunch where she use to work as a waitrest.
We left there and headed to Wiesbaden. We went to Miens-schtel where Chaplen Barnett and I watched the first run move called "Airplane." We searched the internet for information about my old post Camp Pieri to no avail. Gary came up with the idea to check with the USO who made come calls and came up with an address. We puched it into the GPS and headed out to no where! I knew it was on a hill so Gary turned and went up. We found it! It did not look much like it did when I lived there as it has been converted into residential living but the lay of the land was the same and that is how I found it. I made pictures and looked around a while and let the memories flow through. It was fun for me to go back there.
We checked into a army hotel in Wiesbaden, which was really nice, had a nice dinner there and then went to a movie. We are getting ready to leave here now and since I found a computer in the lobby, thought I would drop you all a line.
I hope all is well there.
We love you all and will type to you later.
