Lived and worked in Darmstadt 1968-1993 and had many friends among the civilians working at the Stars and Stripes in Griesheim. And I'd like to post one big RIP to the memory of Manfred who ran the Press Club bar. Happy Days, Good Memories !
I was a mail clerk there from 1973-1977. It was my first duty station. Worked hard and played hard. Met a lot of good people. Have a lot of good memories. Had a very special relationship with one of the truck drivers there. He was Roger Whitaker. He became like a brother to me. I miss him to this day. I also send my condolences out to Manfred. I remember him well. He always had a smile and a kind greeting while serving out the brews. I remember you too Robin Flood. And yes, those were the best of days.
Lived there from 2004 to 2006. Also lived in Lincoln village. It's so sad that everything is closed now.
ReplyDeleteIt would be very nice if you may happen to have some pictures from those times which you'd like to share.

ReplyDeleteI was the Sergeant Major 84-85. Except for the two Navy Officers in charge, great people.
