Ralph-Bapp- Hunt- ich bin vom 12/1958. also müsste mein dad von 57- 63 cirka da stationiert gewesen sein.so viel ich von erzählungen weis aus texas. beruflich mit autos bzw. dem fuhrpark und der versorgung zuständig gewesen sein. es wäre schön wenn sich noch irgend jemand bzw. einer der verwandten daran erinnern könnte. ich liebe alte geschichten.

    I arrived at Cooke Barracks in August 1956 as a member of the advanced party of the 8th CIC Detachment assigned to the 8th Infantry Division headquarters. The division headquarters moved to Bad Kreuznach in December 1957 when the division became part of the 7th Army reserve. During that move I was assigned to the detachment field office at Lee Barracks in Mainz where I remained until I returned to the US for discharge in August 1959. Those years were some of the best years of my life and put me on the path that led to my future career as a Foreign Service Officer.

    Was in A Co 1/26th at Cooke Barracks from Dec 78 til May 81. Was a wild time in my life. Met lots of great people and made friends with some of the German families in the area. UnfortunatelyI have lost touch with most everyone due to lack of diligence on my part.
    If anyone knows or has heard from, SSG Noriega-Vargas, SGT Rick Hanley, SGT Bob Gobble, SGT James Gordon, Spec Marty Kimbrel, drop me a line or have them do so. This year is 30 years since i left Gopp. Seems like only yesterday.

      Got there Dec. ’62. I think Capt. Taylor was my CO. Sgt Caroll was platoon Sgt. Best platoon Sgt ever. Kept our trucks (tankers) “up on the hill” the other side of the air strip. Really cold place to spend the day in winter.

    My first station, Jun 66 to Jul 67 was Cooke. Co C, 144th Sig, 4th Armored. Capt White was commander, 1st Sgt Grissom his assistant. Lt Col Racke was Bn commander, General Scherer Division cmdr. Was a photographer/lab technician. In addition to the lab on base we had a modular lab mounted on a deuce and a half. Took that to Graf at least three times for a couple of weeks at a time. A couple of fellow photographers, Tom Wright from Georgia and Joe Washington from Philly. Joe Warda was company clerk.
    A dollar was worth 4 marks….and two of those would buy a mug of the best pilsner I’ve ever had.

    I was stationed at Cooke from October 1962 to December 1963 in HQ 4th AD. I was assistant division chemical officer. Chemical officers during that period were LTCs Gerald Hoover, John Cassidy; as well as Leo Pannier and Wm. Fox, each serving in the inter regnum between Hoover and Cassidy. Those were interesting days before we all went off to RVN.
