LOL, my first introduction to Mineral Wells was in a rain storm in 1962 - bus dropped us off at the REAR of the Crazy Water Hotel... The mud in the street, the plank porches across the street were straight out of the old westerns...

We went in to the eerie marble mausoleum (at least it seemed like it) and made our way to the only light visible where we encountered the man from the crypts... with his green translucent visor. He called the base for them to send a bus to pick us up...

Had to make a trip back in town to see that place in daylight...

After getting out of the Army, I later worked 7 years for Southern Airways - hehehe Good ol' Beech Army Hospital... I remember one scandal there where Doctors were caught reviewing their essential proficiency requirements and if they needed two more spinal taps to maintain proficiency, the next two people they saw magically needed one...

Tons of fond memories too...

I remember as a little kid watching the doctors step out in the hallway to smoke a cigarette under the No Smoking signs...

We went in to the eerie marble mausoleum

That would have been the old mineral water drinking pavilion in the back side of the hotel. Years ago that would have been quite busy...
