Germany....16 Years Later Continues....People, Places, and Post


Swans near Schwandorf


Kallmunz Castle
With my landlady in Laaber at the entrance of the apartment.
Herr D. is now in a wheelchair, and their son, who acted as
translator when I paid rent, passed
away a couple of months ago.

We visited Chicago during Cows on Parade; now
we see one in Hackenhofen!

Another familiar face!
Hans had told Raisi that we were in town.  


  Peter and Gisela...we managed to spend more time with
her at our breakfast place.  

Werner and Rosie-one of the few young couples in town.
They rented an upstairs apartment to a couple of my colleagues.

 


Fest tent on Post: July 4 early in the day



Justin, Mel's second son...we knew him as a toddler

.



With Deloris who continues to teach at Hohenfels  

                                   
Community Activity Center-Where we met
at COL Lightman's promotion party.

     This statue was made by a high school art
   class. A student's daddy served as the
model. We had read about it, but
         this was the first time to see it.
Very nice.


  Sergeant Major may have been the model for the statue
as he has been around quite a while! We visited with his son at Sig when
he traveled here for sports during our second year here.

What do you do with guys from Hawaii when they get together?
Bob is another former colleague of Flint's and a really nice guy.



Our dear friend and Flint's former colleague, Danny. He visited
us in Sicily several years ago. We interrupted his work day plus
enjoyed a great dinner with him at the Taverna....
across the street from the Parsberg Bahnhof.


As the post is a training area spread out over beautiful terrain, we saw a wild pig crossing the road with five or six little ones following.  Also, in the bird category...a European Green Woodpecker.
