We lived in Turkey, courtesy of the USAF, and one walks around on eggshells there. At that time, if someone stole your Bible, you would be responsible and face prison without recourse as an American citizen. We were thrilled to leave, especially when we got to go to Germany. But it was a blessing to see Ephesus and the house John took Mary to.

I got to to Incirlik Air Base in Adana for a period of time. I absolutely loved it. It was probably a different time period from when you were there, though. I really liked the Turkish people. I always wanted to go back, but never got the chance.

I’ve known quite a few people who have vacationed in Turkey over the years, and they all loved it.

But I think things are changing. Islam is on the rise, and the Generals seem to have decided they can no longer fight it.

I've read many times that the Turks are just about the reasonable Moslems you can find.But I've also read that that's changing.

just about the reasonable = just about the most reasonable

We were there in the sixties when I was starting school. We did meet some very nice Turkish people, although not many, as we lived on base.

#2 Son was stationed at Sinop in 85 or so. He was Army, but I think they were on an AF Base. (don't know the details) He wouldn't tell me a lot because he was MI. "I'd tell ya, mom, but then I'd hafta kill ya..." kind of thing.
