   Returned to Germany in late 1988. Have lived in Weiherhof which is behind Pinder ever since. All that remains is the tower and the guard house which is now a business called Pillofina! Daughter had first communion in the chapel there in 91 right after I returned from the gulf war. Worked for security company that watched over it till German government sold to private developer. It is now a thriving neighborhood with school, two kindergartens, elder care home, a market, the county of Fuerth county seat, etc.

   Hey I wish I could see what you old farts of the A Btry 1st 22nd FA look like these days. Remember when we were full of piss and vinegar giving the chief of smoke a hard time and riding with the First Sergent Thompson in his baby blue Electra 225 drinkin moonshine? We rocked in the barracks room and at the concerts venues in Nurnberg. Great times. If you visit here email me if you were there between 1976 and 1981. God bless.

   I was stationed at Pinder from ’75 to ’78 and I am ‘MAD DOG’ HQ Btry Div Arty. To all I served with…we did enjoy times and still remember times together. Pizza downtown, beers at the pool bar, partys on the second floor and of course going to the one way street. God bless DJ Brown – too young – be full of care and enjoy.

     Hey Mad Dog!
     Glad to see a familiar name. I can still see you at your desk outside Cpt. Woolard’s office. Who was the “big guy”, in the office? (Older, and I think some American Indian descent in him.) I still keep in touch with Garry Munford. He’s in Sun City Center, FL. He has stage IV Lung Cancer, but doing relatively good in spite of it. Was down to see him Thanksgiving. I contacted Scott Gunderson on this site. He changed his name to Aaron Jastrow (???) and lives close to me in the Chicago area. Haven’t met up with him. He told me he saw Vito in NYC. I got in touch with Ernie Cervantes too recently. Wonder what happened to Bela, Shaw, Reagle, Ranker, and a lot of others. I think of DJ too. It was a “dramatic” meeting between us when we first met…!! Hope this finds you well Dog. Drop me a line and say hello. winogr8@gmail.com
