We left Ft Ord for the last time in 1964, on our way to Okinawa. I was 10, going on 11 at the time.
The school I attended was named George S. Patton Elementary. I’d have to do more research to figure out if we were in the same base neighborhood, though I do know that Patton Elementary was at the north end of Ft Ord.
we left fort ord for good in 1964 as well. but we went to landstuhl germany.
ardennes circle was near cannery row on the south side of the bay. my oldest brother went to monterrey high school. there was a mcdonalds on the road to the base. It opened in 1963. the best of the best in 60’s fast food.
one of my older brothers circled back around to the monterrey language school in the early 70’s but that was it for us.
the base was sold in the 80’s or 90’s I think. a shame really. California really needs a federal presence to work properly,.
