Many Thanks Robby. Mary and I enjoyed 3 tours, 7 years in Heidelberg. It was as much a "home" as we ever had in the Army. So many wonderful memories; so many wonderful friends both Americans and Germans!!! Fun times.
Kevin

When I just wanted to get away from my desk and relax a bit, I would stroll through the office and visit with folks about anything they had on their minds.
I would often go to the second floor where Kevin had an office at that time. Generally he would not there, but his Aggie trooper, an 18 inch doll dressed out in an Aggie uniform, was.
It was always most interesting visiting with that Trooper. I could always get more out of him than I could Kevin.
Just so Kevin would know that I dropped by, I would turn that Trooper upside down and place it in the center of his desk.
What great times we had in Heidelberg. A lot of good folks, but a few old sore heads too.
Thanks for the memories.

Wow. What a heart-tugger. It is the story of the second half of the 20th century for the American Army Hq in Germany. Although I was an Artillery platoon leader at a missile battery in an obscure location outside of Heilbronn (C/3/71 Arty), I knew of Heildelberg , just up the Neckar River Valley; and I had the opportunity to visit on many a Sunday afternoon in 1962 and 1963. Driving my bug, I would sing like the student prince, and, fortunately, no one could hear me belting our the opening lines to Gaudeamus Igitur in my best high school Latin. Thanks for the memories.
