[Night Hides Not]

Although I worked at Spangdahlem, I lived in Traben-Trarbach, a town on the Mosel River. My first two years (77-79) I was stationed at Hahn. I was too far from either base to receive AFN, I basically lived without TV for 4 years.

No complaints at all. I kept busy, didn’t have much spare time overall.

Our Group HQ was at Kleber Kaserne, I traveled that road many times. I set a personal best on my last trip from K-Town to Spangdahlem: 90 miles in 55 minutes, long before the Germans completed the autobahn near Bitburg and Spangdahlem.

I was a student at Saarland University in Saarbrücken in 1971-1972. On weekends, I would often travel by train to Kindenheim in the Rheinpfalz, near Bockenheim, the northern terminus of the German Wine Highway (Deutsche Weinstrasse), where a friend of mine lived. I would always change trains at Kaiserslautern (K-Town to the Americans, Lautern to the Germans).
