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

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.

Hello again Danny. Have not been here at the Zirndorf site for a few years. I still remember hearing you jam your Sunburst Gibson with the double JBL speaker cabinet upstairs in the rec room with your buddy from 6/14 who played bass (8-string?). I am glad to see you are still jammin. Lord knows we really had alot of music related ops there in Radtown what with the concerts, the stereo equipment we purchased from the big PX. Alot of excess too. I know some cats that didn’t make it home alive and they were not even in a fuckin warzone.lol Anyhow, if you get a chance send me a line. I am living down by the riverside in Willoughby Hills Ohio. Ridin my Harley softail deuce tomorrow since it’ll be around 50+ degrees. Been married for 30 and I still jam and sing myself now and then.

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.
