    I was a little German boy back in the mid 60′s and I am looking for a mr. & mrs. Harris. Mr. Harris and his wife lived in our house in Lieblos and he was with the Military Police mrs. Harris always took me to the Kaserne. I like to get in touch with them if they are still alive or their relatives. I have such great memories of them and was never able to thank them. I live in the USA today in Atlanta and Houston.

    Here is a good video taken at the old Coleman Kaserne back in 2009: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JajIsYp6ZWw&list=PLAADD62D7C0C58E47&index=1&feature=plpp_video. It was uploaded by speerhead67. Takes you on a nice tour of the old Kaserne. Speerhead67 dedicates it to the Dawgs of Delta Co 1/48 Inf. He did a good job of capturing Coleman Kaserne.

    I lived in the army apartments about 3/4 mi. from the kaserne in Gelnhausen from 1953 – 1955. I would like to hear from any of my friends who were there at the same time. Some of these people are:

    Ralph Ira Pagington, Brad Heflin, Bob Ford, Jim Roberts, Charles —, Wayne —,
    or any others who lived there and attended Frankfurt American High School. Also Nancy Hutton from Budingen, Anita Voltz and others.

    Please contact me.

    I lived in an apartment near or on the base when I was very young around 4 years old in 1957-58, not sure exactly, I remember going to a Catholic kindergaten up in Gelnhausen, going to a carnival an rideing the bumper cars with my mother. I remember going to a dinner on the base where there was a live band and singer on a small stage doing song like Nat King Cole would have done. I also remember seeing tanks. I happened to find this page and thought I would ask if anyone remembers a Sergeant Arthur Penn? some may have known him as (Art). Please let me know anything you might remember about him. The reason that I have been trying to find out information about my dad is that when I was 10 years old and we were stationed at Ft Knox Kentucky in 1964, my patents broke up and I was left with another sergeant and his wife who were very good and raised me. I have not heard from my father again. I have been in contact with my fathers surviving relatives, they have not heard from hhim all these years either. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

      We were stationed in Gelnhausen from 1956 -1959. My father Chief Warrant Officer Joseph H. LeJeune went in 1956 and then we went and met him in 1957. Daddy was known as Joe and worked , I think, with the armoured equipment. If you remember him, please, let us know.

      Thank you,

      Carolyn

    I served in Gelnhausen as a member of Battery B, 42nd Field Artillery Battalion during 1953 to 1956. Initially I was the Battery Clerk, but then moved on to duties as a Recon Sargent where I earned my E-5 stripes. I currently live in Alexandria, Virginia after retiring from the Army in 1978.
