Wow. I was born in Heidelberg. My Father served in the Army for 20 years. I never thought Campbell would close.

The article's reference to a new HQ on a hill in Wiesbaden has me wondering where that is since I spent three years there during my military service. The little kaserne where my unit was has long been turned into German housing but it was on an isolated hill overlooking the Rhine River valley. The large family housing area was on a hill (Hainerberg) but it never was anything more than housing, PX, and commissary.

My father was an aviator stationed at Stuttgart and later Heidelberg Army Air Field in the 1960s. Our family was with him in Germany for seven years. I've written about our experiences in a book that just came out, “Fighter Pilot's Daughter: Growing Up in the Sixties and the Cold War.”
