My dad M/sgt Earl Ray Wells, motor pool sgt. was station at Ferris Barracks between 1952-1955. I started school at Erlangen American Elem. in 1953. I am looking for Jackie McQuary (sp) and Dennis Russel. I don’t remember the girls who lived down stairs from us, but there dad was a Sgt Major.
Was stationed at Nelson Barracks in Neu Ulm from March 1959 to September 1960. Worked in (DOS) Division Ordnance Supply with Co. A., 126th Ord. Bn. Like to hear somebody who worked there during that time.
Served in Schwabach with “B”Troop 2/15th Cavalry 1962-63 “B”Troop 2/4th Cavalry 1963-64 Those were the days my friends Bier,Snitzel,Mom’s Place and Border Patrols!
I’m obviously very ambivalent about all this stuff. Having been drafted into Tricky Dicky’s war at the tail-end in 1972 and then being stationed at the 130th General Hospital for 2 years of my young life has left me with scars, good memories, friends, lots of photos…whatever! I was a Medical Specialist (SP4), lived in the hospital’s GI barracks, tried to play my trumpet and worked mostly in the OB/GYN and ICU/Newborn Nursery for the entire time that I was there. Therefore, if you had a child born there, or were yourself born there, I probably had some type of contact with you. Especially the males, since I performed, or assisted in performing almost all of the circumcisions 😉 I remember a great team of awesome, caring, loving! RN’s there and a Sgt M. who always had a lot of Hypertension issues. The MD’s there left me with the motivation to go on and pursue a career in medicine. Thanks to the GI Bill but only after UCLA, I became a Social Worker instead. So I feel I owe a lot of who I am, and what I do to my military experience. However, I am still bitter about having my music taken away. Yeah, I’m still a frustrated trumpet player, but am happy serving the Disabled who I work with. I’d love to speak with anyone who was at the 130th circa 72-75. Peace be with you always. Frans
Well we added a couple hundred photos yesterday. Hope everybody is enjoying them. I’ll be working on some more today if I get the time. People are sending them in from everywhere.
WW2 Bomb: Germany still suffers echoes of its dark Nazi past 80 years ago, when Adolf Hitler led the country to war and created a national shame that citizens grapple with even today.
But sometimes the aftereffects of World War II are literal, as was the one that occurred on Sunday, June 23, during the night, near Limburg, a town in central Germany. At about 4 a.m., something shook the ground that folks assumed was a minor earthquake.
A powerful blast had reverberated near the community, but folks soon realized it was not an earthquake at all – it was a World War II bomb that had suddenly detonated. Fortunately, because the bomb exploded in a corn field, no one was injured.

Talking about German food. I found a place in Las Vegas called The Berlin Cafe. The jaeger schnitzel is the bomb, together with spaetzle and knockwurst. Had me feeling like yodeling from the Zutspitz. The apple strudel with coffee is a fine finish. Oh and a good selection of biers too.
Been pretty busy this morning rearranging some page on here. Trying to make this site as readable as possible. Haven’t had time to check out all the military pages available on the web yet this morning. Get back to you later in the day.
