I was the bus driver from 74- 76 I was in A TAb

I was at Herzo Base from June 1965 to August 1968. I was an 05H (manual morse) operator in the operations building on Dawg trick. I remember right before I shipped out to return to US (land of the round doorknobs), Russia invaded Czechoslovakia and I really feared that I wouldn't be able to leave. As it turned out I was able to out-process and returned home to Nebraska. Some of the best times of my life were those living in Herzogenaurach and traveling around all of Europe. I miss those times and people and often think of them and what ever happened to them.

Hi, I was stationed at Herzo Base from May, 1968 to April, 1971. I worked in the Comm Center, Camera Club, and EM Club. I am looking for Tom Gorek, Ishmael Taylor, and Bill McPeake and anyone else that might remember me. I was married in the Catholic chapel in 1970 to a girl that lived just a few blocks up the street from me in Oshkosh. We are still married, 40 years later. We lived in Hessdorf while we lived in Germany and then we went to Montana, courtesy of the military.

I am looking for Tony Rasgorshek (from NE) he was with the HHB 3/37 F.A. 88-89 (ish) - if anyone is in contact with him - please e-mail. Thanks

I was stationed at Herzo from 1987 to 1989 used to hang at the Omega downtown. If anyone remembers me give me a line

Was stationed at HHB 3/37 FA, RAtt Rig Operator, non morse.....1975-78....if you want, you can write.

Hello! My name is Rafael Olmo and I was stationed in Herzo Base from Feb 1984 to Mar 1987. I was assigned to Bump City 3/37 FA during the first year there, the second year I was assigned to Svc Btry 3/37 to the newly formed Ammo Plt as a chief of section, and finally the last year I went back to Bump City as 1st gun section chief. I remember a lot of good people I was able to meet there. 1st SGT Jones was our first sgt and SFC Bennett was our chief of firing btry. SSG Marquez, SSG Afanador,SSg Howard, are some of the fellow section chiefs there. Some of the best and wildest times I had while in the military was at Herzo. Pablo's corner bar was one of my hang outs so was Martha's place, the Luviduck, Hollywood and at the end of the night there was the Gray Cat to get revived with some great food prior to taxi back to the main gate at Herzo so at 10am get to start it all over again all weekend long. And who don't remember or famous NCO club (what else was at Herzo during week nights). Now, duty there wasn't easy, all those middle of the night alerts praying that you didn't have to leave the motor pool. Who don't remember freezing our butts all day long doing maintenance in the motor pool all day long. Graff wasn't bad in the summer but in winter was another story. How about Nato 23 guard duty 30 days at a time, SA-1B ammo guard, reactionary force, ect, etc. I leaned a lot there about hard work and being an NCO. All those memories will stay in me forever.

My wife (Kathy) and I were at Herzo right after we were married and spent our first 2 1/2 years of married life there, living in Hauptendorf. What a wonderful experience! We loved every minute of it.

We lived in Herzo in an apartment. Does anyone remember Ronald Hile from that time period? In 1969 you would have seen him stenciling "Think Pink" on anything that would stay still long enough!!

After being on alert for 16 months, and not being able to take any of my leave, I volunteered on a Levy, not knowing where I was going, and it turned out to be Udorn, Thailand, where I served 20 months.

I was assigned to the 318th ASA(COMSEC) from Feb. 69 to June 70. After two tours in the Nam, I thought this was heaven! While inprocessing I was informed I would be sent to a 12 man detachment at Hohenfels. I was really depressed. But it turned out to be the best 18 months of my 20 year military career. What little time I spent at Herzo Base was great. Great to hear so many people enjoyed their military service days.

Stationed at Herzo Feb '73 to late '76 with SVC 2/377th FA (formerly 1/33 FA). Best duty station I ever had. Put the "Happ Hooker" (M578) into service with Sgt Dickinson and Sgt Graham. Anybody out there during that time?

Hello all, I was a civilian on Herzo bach in the early 70,s till 75. I worked at the audio club in the old asa building. I found this site by accident. I visit often to see if I remember anybody. one thing in common with all of the comments is that it was a great time there and I must say it was the best. I remember going to giovannis to eat and drink and the all night poker games with several of us. i have pictures and will try to get them on line soon. Take care all.

I'm an army brat, we were at herzo in 65 & 66. Dad, Capt Neal Norman was with the 318th. It was a Great place to live as a kid, my very favorite memories are of living at herzo base and I've lived all over.

Trying to find a John Mitchell (Not sure

Taso the owner of omega's. I am looking for my buddy Roy David Pierce(parents lived in evensville Indiana..email me...... Jim

I WAS IN THE 302 ASA DURING 56 THRU 58 ANY BODY OUT THERE?

Stationed at Herzo Base 1966-67, at Company C, attached to the 24th Infantry Division. Roomed with Vince Digatano. Used to visit the library right next door to C Co. barracks. Used to go to EM club and listen to the great rock bands out of England. Anybody remember doing PM on their vehicle in dead of winter?? Anybody grow a moustache in defiance of Army culture in 1966?? Anybody remember Sgt.Gibbins? Top? The company clerk?

I was based here from 87-89 in C Battery 2/12th 2nd Launch, had a great time. Interested in hearing from anyone who remembers. Remember the Omega Club?

Can't describe to anyone how delighted I am to have found this site. I arrived at Herzo Base April 1962. My time there was more like being at a golf resort than a military base. Steel Trees Golf Course might not have been Augusta National but it was for me.

Everyone was pretty laid back on post. Some of the officers and NCO's lived with their families in and around Herzogenaurach. I seem to recall there was some housing on post close to the main entrance.

Col.McFadden was the post commander. He was an "Officer and a Gentleman". I really don't remember an officer or NCO that was uptight. The only strange people were the "Specialist' that worked in the HQ facility. However they were serious about their work and the mission to be accomplished.
(more later)

Oct. 6, 2008, My husband, Charles A. Hurely, recently passed away on Aug 24. 2008. He was in the Army and then at Herzo_Base to work for government. I have his Herzo-Base wooden plaque (1957) hanging on the wall. His job had something to do with the Morse Code (secrets) in the Army, at Herzo-Base and his entire career at NSA. He talked about these things and I only halfway listened. I have a poem written by Leo Carty, his friend, called "Christmas in Nurnberg" 1957. I cannot find it on the Internet. I understand he died in 1994. I would like to type this poem in a place, where others, who lived it, can read it. Write me at my email address and tell me where to send it. Sincerely, Judith

Wow, this site brought back some memories. My dad was stationed at Herzo from 83 to Nov. 86. Sgt. Guy Bennett. I think he was with B 3/37, but could be wrong on that. Was a long time ago! I went to Nurnberg high school. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or my family.

Great site. I recognize some of the 2/377th faces from when I was stationed in Herzo from '76-78 in C Btry,2/377th and then HHB 210th Group as the greenest of green LTs. My wife Donna worked at the education center and coached girls basketball. Recently returned and downtown Herzogenaurach is even more beautiful than we remembered.

I lived in Germany from January 1985 until September 1989. My ex-husband, Chuck Foley, was the RMO at Herzo Base for the Field Artillery Brigade. Since we were civilians we lived on the economy in Niederndorf. Some of the officer's wives were really wonderful people. Cissy Holland and Lucy Godfrey were very kind to me especially since I wasn't a military wife. We stayed at the "Herzo Hilton" for the first 6 weeks we were at Herzo. One of my sons was born in Niederndorf in 9/88 and we moved a week later to another post.

Im looking forward to hear from anyone who served in Lance from 1985-88 at Herzo Base.

I was stationed at Herzo Base from Oct 76 to Mar 78 and was an (E4) in A-TAB 2/25th radar unit. We spent so much time in Grafenwöhr in 77 that they moved all of radar into the big day room next door. Does anybody remember this?

Does anyone out there know of or remember a Sgt 1st class, (not sure if that was his exact rank, Andrew Jackson Wyatt?

He was stationed at Herzo Base in the early 1950s at least up to 1954. He lived at Herzo Base with his wife.

He was married to Mary Ethel Wyatt and they adopted a German girl from the Herzogenaurach Orphange and a German baby boy at the hospital at Erlangen.

Looking for someone who knew Andrew J. Wyatt (Andy) or (AJ).

I went to Nurnberg HS my freshman and sophomore years and loved every minute of our stay in Germany.

Hi My Name is Terra Grant and my mom, Elisabeth Andres Compton worked at the RosenGarten in the early 60's. She met a man by the name of Ron Marshall. Mr. Marshall was in the AirForce and he and my mom started dating. He was called back to the USA and he told my mom he would return to get her. He never returned and she couldn't find him. It is of great importance that I find Mr. Marshall because my oldest brother, Mark is his son. My mom found out she was pregnant weeks after Ron left Germany. We are not trying to make trouble for Mr. Marshall but we feel like he should know that he has a son who will be 46 this year. My mom raised an amazing man and now he has an amazing family. Mark is a doctor and he doesn't want anything other that to meet his biological father. My mom would really love to talk to Mr. Marshall. Could anyone please help me find him? If you have any information on how I could contact Mr. Marshall, please send me an email at terragrant@gmail.com.

I was stationed with the 8606 Field Station from 1950 until 1952. It was quite and experience that I will never forget. I went back as a civilian operator (for NSA) from 1955 to 1957.

1969-1971--- great to see people trying to connect with friends from years gone by. I was a 05K20, hung around with friends Tim Tamplin, Greg Ellingson, Ken Torsch, Ron Heaps, Glenn Mukai, Richard Allison, Richard Deasy. Had great time playing cards, going to the club, visiting local towns, Mama's (???)-- typical newby's stuff. I saw Steve Foute recently signed on-- I remember you and the yellow Fiat- I was just a little jealous but-- oh well--- it was a cool car.

I was with C Btry 3/37th from Dec. 81 until July 83. 1SG Thomas was the Top while I was there and a good friend was Pilar Herrara who was in the Commo Section in HHB. Reading the other postings about the Corner Bar and Gray Cat brought back memories. I was in the Ammo Section with Sgt. Mitchell and I remember Sgt. Jerome Childs.

Thaks for the opp. to visit. stationed at Herzo Base from Aug, 68, to Sep, 71, mostly offbase untill 2/71, 98B20 Crytoanalytic Spec.. Lived in Herzogenaurach, Niederndorf and a villiage I can't find, ie, Grossdechsendorf. Two kids born in Nurmeberg Army Hosp. Remember steel trees well. Had blue $1400 sports coupe that did 99 mph..., and 38 mpg. Had to sell after 7 wrecks all credited to german drivers. I remember the fog up in the hills. Few names I remember. But, thanks for being there.

Was with HHB 210th FA GRP 73-75 as a signal officer. Served under CPT Spano then CPT Enko. Played with the band "Krossroads" with SGT Richardson (drummer) and Herbster (lead guitar) and many other guys over time. Great memories of my time there. Would like to hear from guys from that era. Went back in 1998 before Adidas moved in and it was much the same as the old days.

Hi gang from Herzo Base. I've tried to share some of my pictures on the website but they haven't published them yet. I was there from May of 68 to April 71. I worked in the Comm Center as a 72B. I also tended bar at the EM Club and sold cameras above the NCO Club. I was in HQ CO UASAFS. At times I was farmed out to Co A, 318th BN. Anyone know of Kenneth Schwartz? I'd like to get a hold of him. Have a nice day.

My mother was born in Herzo in 1933 and lived there until she and my father came to Canada in 1957. They went back for a visit for the first time in 2001. It was great for them to get back and reconnect with some old friends who were still around.

My father was stationed at Herzo Base back in 1980-1983. I don't remember what his rank was back then, I was only 9 yrs old when we went back to FT Sill, but when He retired he was a Master Sergeant. His name is Kenneth L. Smith JR. I sent him this site, cause I miss that area so much, so I hope he post something.

1981-1982 ON The Minute 3/37
I had a ball in Herzo. The problem is: I don't remember much beyond the barrells of German beer. My name is David Foster. I was a jeep driver for a really cool first sgt (top), he was a short African American man who had a heart as big as a mountain. I would really love to hear from some of my old friends, Ron Amon, Ron Amarine, Micheal Carty, Kenny Tilton, just to name a few.

HI ALL FELLOW HERZO BUDDIES.

I was statoned at herzo from oct 80 till jun of 83. Anyone there during that time drop me a note and lets see what we can remember.

I WAS STATIONED AT HERZO BASE FROM 12/1987 TO 12/2001 WITH HHB 210. LIKE TO TO HEAR FROM ANYBODY FROM THAT UNIT AND TIME FRAME.

Got to Germany November 1953 by way of USS Butner, from the “land of doorknobs & the big PX” to Bremen. Served at 615th AC&W SQ APO132 Prüm, Germany (near Belgium).

June 4, 1955 reassigned 603rd AC&W SQ Detnr 4 (Mausdorf) outside Herzogenaurach, Germany.

Jan 1956 I left for Rhein-Main AFB to fly home via Super G Constellation, and returned home.

I was USAF Radio/Crypto stationed at Mausdorf but billeted at Herzo (courtesy of the Army). Herzo base golf course was anobstacle course with all of the rhombic antennas.

Hi all. I was a dependent who lived here 1974-1976. I played DYA football and basketball. I was 4-6th Grade. Would love to hear from any who are from that time. We were the DYA Football champs of Europe including defeating the Bantam A victor in a scrimmage game before the championship.
Wish all well.
Mike

Ah, what memories! I was one of the Air Force troops at Herzo. Arrived in Jul. 1961 and was the last Air Force enlisted man to leave, in Sept. 1962. Great bunch of guys. I remember the daily rides to our radar site at Mausdorf, and the fun of going up the final hill there on ice-covered roads. Also remember many happy nights spent at Cafe Kern in Herzo town. And then there was the Hillbilly Gasthaus in Nurnburg - - but that's a whole 'nother story. Would love to hear from any other AF troops who were there.

wow! how strange to see the past.I grew up on this base. my father a carrer man was stationed here twice.I just recently found out he was in ASA and now understand why we were on Herzo base.

For all who used to go to the EM/NCO/OFFICERS Clubs:

My two bands ("Six Pack" and "Gordy Thomas and CREW") used to play all around Southern Bavaria.

I've written a lot of songs since then, and anyone is welcome to download the free .mp3 files listed on my site at gordythomas.com please disregard the fact that there are also song files for sale on the page, as it is not my intent to get you to buy anything. I just thought some of the FOB (Friends of The Bands) might be interested in hearing what I've been doing in Nashville.

And to all combat veterans, "Welcome Home!"

Looking for any information about an upcoming Lance reunion at Ft Sill, there were postings two years ago with the email address lancereunion@yahoo.com, that email address has since been discontinued. It went to a lady named Shirley Dismuke, if anyone knows her please post a new email address or contact information here. Thank you.

I was stationed at Herzo Base from Dec 82-Dec 84. Many Great times were there. Was I B Btry 2/377th FA. (Lance) Was in both firing and A&T then was a driver for Capt Sclimigan (sp) and 1SG Dunn. Then Capt Benoit. Great times at Crete for 2 live fires. Would like to here from others. Many fond memories.

I was stationed at Herzo 1976-1979 with SVC Btry 3/37th , (SVC Btry '76-'78..HHB Btry '78-'79). My times there are still some of my fondest memories of my tenure with the Army. No one can ever forget Graf and Reforger! 'Specially the time we gassed the Command tent on Reforger. Would love to hear from some of the guys--.

Wow, It is so nice to see photos of our village of Herzo where we lived. Wish we knew where all of our old friends are now. Does anyone know of a web page to find old military friends? Thanks, Dave

Wow,I can't beleive that Herzo base still exsists.I lived there from 1954 to 56 in the officer's quarters on base with my family.We had a german maid and I made friends with her daughter Annalees (sp) she taight me to speak german and we cried when dad got stationed to Fort Devens.As a child I hated the military life,now looking back it was a great experience and proud of my dad and his accomplishments in the ASA.

My mother and father met at Herzo base in 1980. I'm not sure about either of their unit information, but I am looking for my father. His name is Anthony Sharpe, and if anyone was there in 1980 and recognizes that name or Jacquelyn (Jackie) Atkins, please drop me an e-mail. Thanks in advance.

I was drafted in September 1966 and went to the ASA. After 98J20 training at Ft. Devens, I arrived at Herzo Base on June 6, 1967 just as the Arab-Israeli war broke out. Company C, 318th Bn was my first assignment and we were gearing up to head to Israel in support of the 24th Inf. Division just as I arrived. Fortunately we didn't go. Not knowing what to do with a 98J, I worked in the supply office. It was really great duty and I obtained a second MOS as a supply specialist. Company C rotated to Ft. Riley, KS in the spring of 1968 so I was able to transfer to Company A, 318th BN. Who wanted to spend 3 years in Ft. Riley, KS? Not me. Although my MOS was 98J20, I spent most of my time as the company supply sergeant. We went to "the field" about once a year to test our mobile, i.e. truck mounted equipment and bone up on our primary MOS skills. The field was usually a site overlooking the Czech border. I was also TDY a few times to Rimbach/Mt.Eckstein, Mt. Schneeberg, and Wobeck. That $18 per diem came in handy. My wife, baby daughter, and I lived off base in the new high rise apartment building on Bunzlauer Str near the Herzogenaurach airport. ETS from Herzo Base and Co. A in mid-August 1970. That's an amazing 37 + years ago.

I was at Herzo 1977-1980. Nice site!

Hey,
I just stumbled across this site. I'm from Herzogenaurach and I went to Montessori Elementary School at Herzo Base from 1993 to 1997.This is an interesting site and I would like to make a post, too. Sorry if I make mistakes, English isn't my first language.
I could post some pictures of Herzo Base if somebody is interested.

OMG, the Herzo Base...There was so much wild life and so much space to play.We kids loved to build houses out of sticks. I remember some friends and I went off one day at a school party and explored the old barracks. Looking back it might have been dangerous, because some of them were a bit torn down already, but back than it was just a huge adventure for us. It was so dark and dusty in there, windows and doors were broken and all kinds of animals were making strange noises. We went into one building that seemed to have been a medical centre. The boys wanted to scare me since I was the only girl and told me that the soldiers might have forgotten someone and we might find a skeleton on a dentist chair or something like that. I was frightened but of course we didn't find a skeleton.

Our old school building has been torn down as most of the old barracks. There is a living area at the Herzo Base and they are considering to build a huge shopping area there. And of course Adidas is at the Herzo Base since about 10 years I think. It’s their Corporal Headquarter. And MC Donalds is there, too.

Greetings from Herzogenaurach,
Anni

does anybody know the whereabout of ralph reed who was in the 302 asa battlion during the years of 1956 and 1957

Hello all,
I am an Army Brat of SSGT Robert (Bob) Mechtel and his wife Lucy (Peggy). Stationed 1967 to 1970. Attended Erlangen and Neuremburg schools. My parents are alive and well, and I would love to hear from anyone who may remember us. I was heavy into girl scouts (my much younger brother Steve was our mascot) I was also on the cheerleading squad for the men’s basket ball team. Also in the dancing class that performed on base at several recitals and for base outings. I hold very fond memories of Herzo, .25c movies on Saturday mornings, the club for the kids, and time spent at the EM Club. We lived off base, first in a private apartment in Herzogenaurach, and then to off base quarters outside the base. Good time, great place, loved the locals and the countryside.

I was stationed with 2/12 FA from 89 to 92, and was there for the first part of the drawdown of the base. The best part of the assignment was the 2 deployments to Crete for live fire of the Lance system. What a blast. Does anyone know what happened to the Herzo Golf course? Did it get destroyed like everything else? There was a lot of good drinking that went on there with Brother George. Those were good times for sure.

My name is James Cafferty, son of the late LTC James C Cafferty, who was the Base Commander during 1964-1966. I was born there in June of 1966, but returned to Washington DC soon after. My father passed away in 1990. I unfortunately did not return to Herzo until about two years ago and well...not much was left. Where a base was is no more and Adidas and new homes now stand. I was saddened greatly that I had waited to long to return.

I arrived at Herzo in Jan. 69 and left in Dec. 71, just before the Agency left. I'd like to hear from anyone who was there during the time I was stationed at Herzo. I was on Charlie Trick and spent my last two years in the Watch Office. Loved my time there, but have never been back. Would love to.

Hello to all Ex-Hertzo, I was stationed at Hertzo from 1978 to 1981, A BATTERY 3RD/37TH FA. (The Commo section). Those were the days. Too many Graf's, and Reforgers to remember. Picking up wire, running Hot loops, Tent City, and the 7th Army, NCO Academy in Bad Tolz, the (DAP) if U fill me. Smile. I left Germany back to the world after 2.5 yrs. I went to Ft Ord Calif. I'll always remember those days. Now working as a LT for the BOP, still Gov work. (Good Times)

I arrived in Herzo December 68, left March 71. Never dreamed Herzo had such a history, some best forgotten like the little mermaid, standing all day inforemation because the visiting general refused to land his chopper on a peace sign, working 2 on 4 off, 6 hour shifts, and the three story apartment.

I was a TTY repairman 1970 and 71. i roomed with Phill House for a while, buffed the bonhoff on the second floor with gasoline, turned a duce 1/2 over pinching Christmass Trees in the forest. Ran the ration run for a while and worked the post office at the end of 71. Robert Schone of New York, Errnie Fountino from Viel flat Lu., the couple from Wissconsion who had a son while stationed there, like to hear from you.

HELLO TO EVERYONE THAT WAS STATION IN HERZO BASE FROM 1975 TO 1977.I'M TRYING TO FIND INFORMATION AND PICTURES ON THE GOOD PEOPLE I WAS STATION WITH IN B BATTERY 3/37TH FA.IF ANYONE CAN POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION I WILL TRULY THANK YOU.

anybody remember blowing up the main motorpool in graf by mistake? We shot a round too early and it hit a truck parked in the motorpool on main post, blew out the windows in the bowling ally rollner43

I'm an army brat who lived in the off base housing from 1972 to 1978. Went to Erlangen elementary, and Nurnberg Jr. High and High School. Still stay close to a number of NHS Eagles! My dad was assigned to the 210th FA Group - Sgt. J.R. Gonzales. He worked in the building immediately to the left of the base entrance and caught me sneaking onto base one or two times in "inappropriate clothing" - back then, it was hiphuggers and tiny little shirts tied up high. We roamed the base all the time - wandering from the AYA to the Gym to the movie theater. Spent many a day at the ball field to play softball or watch the boys play sports. Can't even begin to think how many kilometers I logged riding/walking to the Freibad, duck pond and other places that got me far away from the view of the parents! Ever look at the base/housing on Google Earth! WOW! What changes have occurred. Looking for a good picture of the downtown area where one could walk under the archway adjacent to the tower? remember that? Email me if you have pictures!

Guard for a brief period but transfered back to 3/5th FA at Merrill Barracks. I worked at the nightclub "Rockhouse" as a DJ for while. glad to see a great site about a fun period of my life. Would love to hear from friends

I WAS AT HERZO BASE IN C BATTERY 3RD/37TH FA FROM 1975 TO 1977 AND HAD A BLAST FOR TWO YEARS. I LIVED OFF POST FOR A YEAR OF THAT TIME SPENT THERE.

I was in the 5/17 HQ Battery, drove for Maj. Hardy. Roomate was "Weird Harold Power" "Mud Bone Taylor aka Oil Can Harry". My Sgt was Gibson. Stationed in Herzo '87-'91. Contact me if you remember.

Seeing the pictures as the base stands now were sad indeed! I was stationed at Herzo from 87-91 as C-Battery 5/17th FA commander then as Battalion Motor Officer. I lived in the Fishbowl with my wife, Jill, daughter Jennifer and son Robby. We all had a great time while we were there. Glad there is this site to help others reconnect and relive the glory days of Herzo past!

I was stationed at Herzo Base from April '63 to February '66. My favorite spot in town was upstatirs at the Grauer Adler with Heidi serving beer and Goulash Suppe. Wonderful memories of a great little town and a great bunch of guys from the base. My son was in Germany and happened to visit the base on the day that the bulldozers tore down the barracks. A sad story to hear.

I was stationed at Herzo base from 1967 to 1969. I left for the NAM in 1969. I would like to hear from anybody who remembers me.

I was at herzobase 1964-1967 -

I was in Herzo from 87 to 89. I had some good times there. Drop me a line if you were there when i was.

Herzo Base. A place where my Mother was stationed. Sgt. Davis. We had a beautiful time there. I stayed in Germany until 2002, when I returned to the US. I actually graduated from Nuernberg High in 1988. But right now I am looking for a dear friend of mine, Ladonte Kornegay. The last I heard of him was he was living in The Netherlands, Amsterdam, and this was back in 1992-93. We became best friends, and I miss him dearly. If anyone should happen to know of him, I would appreciate any information. My life has changed so much and I'd love find him again. Sincerely, Yvonne

I was stationed at Herzo 1959-60-61.. I was in the AirForce- Radar Maint --
We commuted to Mausdorf to work at the Radar site there. I married Marga Lochner, who worked at the Base Snackbar. Would like to hear from any who remember me. To those who remember the Cafe Kerns, Kerns has passed away..

My father was a Sgt. at the base. His name is Bill Holloman. We were stationed there from 89-92. He was in the 210th. I went to Nuremberg to the 12th grade. If anybody remembers me drop me a line.

I was at Herzo Base, 16th USASA Field Station from April 1967 to December 1968. From January to May 1969 I was at Mount Scheeburg, near Bishoffsruen, Germany until my enlistment was up. While at Herzo Base I also worked part time as Head Waiter at the E.M. Club. A wild and wooley place.
"It was the worst of times; it was the best of times."

I was in the 210art.unit.My nick name was worm.I worked in the motor pool.My drove the boom truck with worm painted on the boom.any one remember me.These are the guys i remember.Bob Coons,James Randell,Hubert Vick,Jacky Davis,Robert English,Petter Whitfield,SGT Whirrley.

With 318th ASA Bn from fall of 1967 to mid 1961 (just after the Berlin Wall went up).
Amazing opportunity to cover a lot of Europe at reasonable cost.
Wife is in a club which includes the daughter of then Capt John Connell, USAF who was also at Herzo.
Young kid in the back yard was Jimmy Clapper, now a retired 3 star Gen.

Was back about 10 years ago to visit.

Was stationed at Herzo Base from Sept 1967 thru Aug 1970. Am trying to get in touch with the following people: George Reusch, originally from New Jersey, and Michael Ainslie, orginally from San Rafael, California. I do keep in touch with Joe Bemben (who was from Long Island, New York).I was assigned to the German part of the ASA. Joe was with the Polish part of the ASA. I returned to Herzo Base in August 0f 1999 as part of a Europen vacation.If anyone knows the whereabouts of these above named individuals please get in touch with me. Thank you!

My husband was stationed there in the early 90s. We lived off base. It was a lovely area.

I am an Army Brat and proud of it! My Dad is Ret. 1SG Michael R. Huff..with 5/17 and HHB 210. Mom and Dad are living in Lawton, OK. Our time there was something around 1988 til Jan of 1993. (The middle of my senior year..that you don't forget!)

Herzo was the last base we were stationed at while in Germany and I have wonderful memories of so many people. We were a very tight group of families since we went through the first round of Dessert Storm. If only we had taken care of business them!

I remember working the comissary and saving those great tips for the movies and snack bar.

I remember a lot of the bus rides to/from Nurenberg and the wonderful bomb threates we use to have.

Ok..so if you remember me,my Dad or even my mother...Vyvienne Huff...email me. I would love to hear from any of you.

Got a link to this site from my LT,
MAJ Hal Le Brocq who I found from doing a search on the Military.com website. I was a Spec 4 stationed with Bravo Battery, 2nd Battalion, 377th FA (Lance) from 82-84 and have often wondered what happened to Herzo?? Great idea and a great way to get in touch with folks not seen or heard from in a long time.

Hello y'all!! I was stationed on Herzo Base from January '61 to June '63 in the 183rd Co. One of my most funniest memories, that I don't remember, was the time that my room mate couldn't stand my snoring (after a long 3rd trick!) and he and a few buddies moved me AND my cot outside along the sidewalk! When it started to rain, they had to come out and move me back in . . . and I never woke up through the whole ordeal! What a hoot!! There are lots of great memories from there, Nurnberg and Munich. It would really be great to see some of the gang again; Earl Rau, 'Whip' Ronald Wilson, Sid Lichenstein (Donnell), Paul Vanderstratten and Vic Duran to name a few...

Dependent son of CPT Maurice W Greene (1924-1997). First tour at HERZO from 1949-1950 and again from 1959-1962. My father was assigned in 1949-1950 to the 6th USASAFS and in 1959-1962 to the 318th USASA Sig BN. In 1949-1950 we lived off post in what later became the enlisted family quarters. And in 1959-1962 in the Apartment building just inside the front gate. I graduated from Nurnberg American High School in 1962. I have fond memories of HERZO and all the ASA units we were assighned to including Camp Wolters TX (1958-59) and Tokyo Japan (1956-1958).

Stationed at Herzo Base from May '88- May '90 with Bump City 5/17th. Crewmember, Special Weapons, then Lt Negrons Driver.Anyone know where Sgt Elmone is? How about Donny Santillo? Too many great and crazy people to list!

Are there any other Bravo Battery, 2nd Battalion, 377th FA (Lance) alumni out there? I just put Alycia Rogers and Linda Getell back in touch with each other after 20 years! I've also been in contact with LT Dennis Reilly, LT Angel Acevedo, CPT Andre Benoit, 1SG William Dunn, SFC Lucky Wirtz and SFC Thomas Beirne. I understand SFC Fred Pollard is still in Lawton. Does anyone have any contact with CPT Thomas Woodley, LT Andrew Tye, or SFC Clyde Ross? LT Chet Moore passed away in 1987, God rest his soul. I'm sure I've omitted many others, but contact me because I'm really bad with names.

My Uncle Stanley Friedenstab was stationed at Herzo Base in 1957-1958. He is looking for anyone who was stationed at Herzo during this time with the ASA 318th Battalion. Please reply directly to sfriedenst@aol.com. Thank You!

I was at Herzo (1/33FA)from 72-74 and remember the Audio Club well. Spent a bunch of money in there. Seems like everyone had killer stereos back then. You could walk throught barracks on any night and hear people blasting all kinds of music from their rooms.

Hello All, I'm a civi. who worked at the Audio Club between 72-75. I just happened to this site. Many memories. Any other civis. out there? Any of you GI's remember?

I was stationed at Herzo base 75-76.
I was an e4/e5 in the Q4 Radar Platoon in A-TAB 2/25th.
We spent most of our time at Graffenvoer(sp) under cw-4 J. Colvin.
P.S. I still have my hand made wooden stein from back in the day!!

I was one of the original 100 who arrived in Herzo in August, 1952, and stayed there until early 1955. Had a great time at Herzo and surroundings, spent much time in the bierstubes in Herzo, played golf on the Steel Trees golfcourse. Would be great to hear from any others of the Original 100. I have a copy of the original orders sending us from Devens to Herzo.

I was with HHB 210TH FA Brigade from 1980 to 1982 and would like to here from any of the guys that was there then. Hope to here from you soon.

My father was command Sgt Major of Herzo Base in the late 60's. I went to high school in Nurnberg.
If anyone out there is interested, we have an all years reunion for Nurnberg Eagles every three years. Since we are scattered everywhere the Reunions are in a different part of the States each time. Next one being June 2008 in San Antonio, Tx. Email me if you want more info. Looking for alot of people.

I cant believe what Herzo looks like right now...its so sad . I think this site is neat for us to go back and see where we spent most of our childhood.

WOW..those pictures bring back many memories. My dad was stationed twice at Herzo. We were there 83-86 and 89-92. The first time we lived in Molly Pitcher and the second time we lived in the Fishbowl on post. I am hoping to visit there one more time. I spent a good part of my childhood there.

Was at Herzo with ASA 11/60-4/63. Great times. Stay in areafor awhile after discharge and loved it.

I was stationed at Herzo Base from 1977 to 1980, with the 210th FA Group and then the 2/377 FA Bn. It's amazing to see the pictures on this website.

One question! Anyone remember SFC Scoggins? Let me know. Jan89-Feb92

Herzo Base…As an Army brat I loved the place. Hung out at the gym, bowling ally, snack bar and the AYA. Loved the AYA dances and little league baseball along with the basketball teams. Dad was stationed there from ’65 to ’68, WO4 Francis M. Dawson.

Hi all. I was there from Nov86-oct89.It would be great to hear from old friends.Please feel free to email me.

WOW! As I looked through the records I was only able to locate a couple that brought back the memories of "Bump City". Yes I was there from 88-92. SSG Willy Williams was the man. Those that remember the day we were training at the back gate and I managed to take the top gun award. Anybody remember SGT Ruiz? I see him still and he is a Major now.

I was with the Air Force detachment stationed on Herzo from June, 1960, to Sept, 1962. We operated a radar site at Mausdorf, Germany, about 15 miles from Herzo. I played all the sports on base, had some army dispensary guys on our team, had a good army pal named Tyson, who ran the Gym, one hell of a pitcher for his army team, overall, had a great time there, met many good guys, local people, hung out at Kerns (gasthaus) in Herzo, will always remember Herzo Base.

I was stationed in SVC battery 5/17th FA. from 1988-1991. Looking for old friends. pretty good site seeing some old pics brings back memories. Anyone from 5/17th FA BN please email me

Hello,
I was at Herzo from 1972 t0 1974 with the 3/37th. I was is HHG and A Btry.
Anyone there at the same time send a message

My Dad is Elliott aka Strikey and my Mom is Jean Rogers. We were in Herzo in the 60's. We lived a mile or so off base in the non commissioned pats. I remember the field where where we looked for frogs, the chickens behind the apts, the smell of the dump, and my best friend Mary Decker. I have an older sister BJ, a brother David and sister Debbie who was a baby then. I was born in 1955....anyone from that time in Herzo remember the same stuff or my family? I have SO many memories, to many to list here. Sadly, no pictures.

Bev

Was at HHB 2/377 FA from 1981 to 1983. Sure was easy duty.

I saw the note left by Robert McNeese and tried the e-mail address, but I keep getting an "undeliverable" reply on my Outlook inbox. I have exchanged e-mails with the Hegleys and would like to hear from others in our old gang.

Hello fellow Herzo Base veterans and their family members. Herzo Base was my first active duty assignment after FA Officer Basic Course. I went from a brand new 2nd LT to CPT during the 5 years I was stationed there. I also met and married my wife, a fellow officer there named Opal Omura. We've been married for almost 23 years now and have 3 teenage sons. I started in B Battery, 2/377th FA, spent a year at 210th FA Bde headquarters in the S-1 section, then went back to B Battery, 2/377th FA as the XO/A&T Plt leader, culminating with a command of C Battery, 2/377th FA. My wife and I met so many great officers, NCOs, and soldiers there, and will always cherish those memories. I was there for 3 Brigade Commanders: COL Jerome Granrud, COL Charles Hood, and COL Clifton Potter. I also saw four 2/377th FA Battalion Commanders: LTC Harold Nelson, LTC Edward Alexander, LTC Charles Feldmayer, and LTC Robert Kimball. I was at Herzo Base from January 1982 through April 1987. I will never forget Herzo Base, and would be interested in hearing from those who knew me. I was hoping to one day take my sons there to show them where their mother and I met, but it appears there is not much left to see, but maybe one day anyway.

Hello to all herzo base vets. I was assigned to hhb 3/37th FA from december 1980 to november 1981 and was then transfered to brigade hq to work in the comm center . Them wonderful old teletype machines. It was supposed to be temporary duty but the major told my lt. that he was stealing me away . So i got to work at brigade hq for my last 7 months. One good friend that i remember from brigade was lolitha walker . I am not sure about her first name but she was married to a soldier in the lance missle battalion . Good friends from headquarters battery 3/37th FA was paul solis, billy jo tanner,jA moore and many more. It was neat to finally get google earth and see herzo base from space.Before i googled for info i could tell that it had changed alot. I hope to hear from old friends and any other herzo vets . Grauer kater , kerns cafe , we were really lucky to be stationed in such a beautiful area.

I was assigned to HHC 3-37th FA from 74-76. I know when the 210th Lance Unit was there. The site map brought back good memories. Nothing much as change based on the map. I knew exactly my barrack's location. Front gate is the give away looks the same. Still have old company photo of the guys in the unit.

In a busy life, it is nice to stop and remember. I was at Herzo Base from March 1962 to March 1964 then finished up at Arlington Hall Station. Upon my leaving the service, I went back to school on the GI bill and received my law degree. I am still practicing law but close to retirement.
I have been back to Germany many times and will return in May of this year for a wedding of one of my exchange sons in Cologne then off to Prague for a week or so. Married a photographer who has her own Pro Lab and does free lance photography which has taken us to Romania to photograph the girls at the Olympic Gymnastic training center at Deva, a wedding in Ploiesti, Romania and with her for travel photography all over Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Amsterdam. Was back to Herzogenaurach probably 10 times but only to the Base twice, once when it was still functioning as an army base and once when it was open as the Adidas headquarters. Many friends in my mind but gone from my reach. Hopefully some will see this and reply.

Great site. I was assigned to the Herzo Base Dispensary from Nov. 1960 thru Oct. 1962. Permanent assignment was the 20th Station Hospital in Nurnberg. Loved the downtown area, especially the Rosegarten, Cafe Adler and the Mauser. I visited again in 2000 with some friends and my son and found it very enjoyable. Since we were not assigned to any of the ASA units we participated in sports with the Air Force personnel whose barracks were right down the street from the dispensary.

Hoping anyone knows a Gary Crow, Grow, Crowe... not sure how to spell it.
He would have been stationed at Herzo sometime around 1971. He was tall and had dark hair (and passed that on to me.) Any help would be appreciated.

1973-1975,HHB 2/377th FA. Cafe Kern,Tenne Bar, and the big fight between the G.I's and the local motorcycle gang. Graf,Reforgers,the Herzo Bier Fests, and the dawn of Disco. Watching Bonanza and the Brady Bunch dubbed in German while enjoying "flippies" of bier.Thousands of great memories, glad I enlisted and got sent to Herzo. Take care Y'all

Hello fellow Herzo-Heads. This is John Young. I was at Herzo March 1974 thru January 1976. A Battery 2/377 FA Survey Section. Rember Graf? I went 4 times. How about REFORGER 1975? What an adventure. Hope all are well, and would love to see others from that time post.

Hi there. I am German and from Herzogenaurach - living now close to Philadelphia.
I always liked the American/Germany friendship festival at the HerzoBase and I have good memories. I was in Herzogenaurach for xmas and I think most of you wouldn't recognize it. Yeah - time is changing a lot but believe me in Herzogenaurach to the worst (but I still miss it).
Does anybody know the old Brauerei Hubmann in the Hauptstrasse ? The two brothers are my best friends ? I also loved the Sommerkirchweih....

Greetings to ALL
I spent some of the best and most memorable years of my life on Herzo Base. I arrived in 1968 and left early in 1972. During that time I married my high school sweetheart in the base chapel, worked with a great group in the comm center and grew up a lot. We lived in Neiderndorf and continue a lifelong friendship with many of our German neighbors and friends. We visit routinely and have watched Herzo Base as it has changed. How fitting to see a place with such a history end up as the Adidas Sports Village. We will be visiting again this October. I would love to hear from any Field Stationers and comm center 72B's that were there 68 to 72.
David

Sure miss the train from Nurberg to Hersbrook for the weekend, a real party spot, and going to crete every year to fire the missiles, great times.

Anybody out there remembers the bar Thiffanys in Herzo

Was at Herzo 89-91 C battery 2/12th. I remember going to Hollywood bar down town and a few others as well. had a gret time, and got a lot of greta memories fromthere also.

We were stationed at Herzo Base from 1983-1985 on an 18 month tour. We would love to hear from you and share the memories. I.E. the Grauer Kater, the tours, flag football, Octoberfest, Graf, and the Fuerth PX!!

We've lost touch with all of our friends from that time in our lives except for Stanley and Ferris Carpenter.

We remember the coffee house very well also!! We used to go and listen to the music and play the albums. I was stationed with the 3/37th Field Artillery when Cpt Leap was the Commander, and LTC Floca was the Battalion Commander and I worked in the Supply room with SSG. Butler. LaVerne worked for the Soldiers Dry Cleaning Station. Please contact us.

My family lived at Herzo base twice. 63 and 68/69. Capt. Richard Barr and my mom Beverly Barr. We lived in the duplex near the dispensary in front of the playground. I have the best memories of that place and the friends we had then. The long bus ride to school making up songs. Anyone out there remember?

I WORKED IN THE MOTOR POOL AND WOULD LIKE TO LOCATE AN OLD FRIEND THAT WORKED AND PARTIED WITH ME. HIS NAME IS BOB STEWART.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I was an 058 ditty bopper in dog trick 183rd co from 62 to 64--went back to herzo last year 05 in sep/oct. loved the place and loved nurnberg/munich

My dad, John Reineck, was stationed at Herzo Base in the late '60's. We, the family, lived in the "Fishbowl" apartments. An amazing experience and wonderful memories.
