Thanks for posting some photos of Hanau High and New Argonner. I was an original student of that school in Jan 1975. Wow does the time fly. My dad was stationed there in the mid70's... my Junior High years. It was a great place to be. In my time the Argonner buildings, I think all buildings where just plain white and I don't remember any gate for housing at either of the Argonner's or Sportsfield or Pioneer housing for that matter. I thought I had read in 2008 when the last HH class graduated a German trade school was going to take over the building. I guess it didn't happen.
I hope you have a chance to go to the other Kaserne's. I'd particularly enjoy seeing some photos of Fliegerhorst. I read somewhere they are going to turn that area into an amusement park?
It's really a great site you have here. I also enjoyed seeing some of the other photos you have of bases we passed through for shopping or school activities. Mainly Hutier, Cardwell, Rhine-main, Frankfurt.
Hello. I just found your website and was very happy and sad at the same time to see the pictures you have posted. I was wondering if you are going to take more pictures of the Hanau area especially of Francois Kaserne and the other Kasernes on Lamboy Strausse, Like Hutier Kaserne and Hessen Homburg Kaserne and Yorkoff Kaserne. Hope you do soon and thanks for hte pics and memories.
I just found your blog. I lived in New Argonner from 1969-1973. Graduated from FAHS. What times we had. It is so sad to see the pictures of the unoccupied bldgs. But boy the memories, I really grew up there. 9th-12th grade. AYA dances, cheerleading, just hanging out. Walking to Pioneer Kaserne to go to the movies, the totto lotto man and the CANDY. Miss it so much. Linda Reichert Class of 73
My son and I just visited New Argonner, Bldg. 209, #24 which is in renovation. Due to lack of OSHA rules, we went inside to 4th floor to check out our old apt. The floor plan is changed, balconies are added to front and back, everything looks so nice. Too bad it didn't look like that in '77-'79! Nice to know others are nostalgic like me.
Wow... things sure have changed since I spent my entire Junior High school years at Argonner middle school (1972-1974). Sure wish I kept in touch with my friends there. I'm terrytheterrifyc on Facebook send me an e-mail there and I'll drag out my old yearbooks before I add you as a friend.
Thank you so very much for posting these pictures and nice blog.
Whoever can help with history of Camp Eschborn, please add your memories of the place as it used to be in the 70's through 90's.

Spam protection notice
Dear Friends,
I would kindly ask each of you to think twice before including your e-mail address in the comments you post.
In case you do that, I take it as an acknowledgement that you understand your e-mail address could be picked-up by spam generating robots and used for uncontrolled purposes.
Unfortunately, the volume of messages including e-mail address became too high for me to request a personal acknowledgement for each and every of them.
Starting March, 25th 2014, I will assume you understand the risks and I will be publishing every valid message as submitted for review by the person posting it.
I hope you understand this change in the "policy" of this site.
Thank you for your understanding and looking forward to see you around !

And... don't forget: I hope you enjoyed your visit on Forgotten Memories and I am looking forward to seeing you back soon !

Dear Readers,
I would first like to thank all of you for sharing your opinion on posts in this blog. The almost 90 votes on my latest poll show me that this means something for you - and I really appreciate that ! I'm not what's called 'professional blogger'... I'm just doing it for you and whoever comes here over and over again, it means to me it makes sense. I keep being concerned about the spam risks associated with (some of) your messages, therefore I kindly ask you to avoid including your e-mail addresses in your posts. I'm against changing rules mid-game, so I will not do it without your full and total support. Every time I receive a comment including an e-mail address, I will keep sending a confirmation mail to that e-mail address, explaining the risks you are exposing to and asking for your explicit acknowledgment before publishing it.
As many of those mails (some of which may contain really interesting info for the other of you reading this blog) remain unanswered (that means to me that most of you learned the rule on how to keep spam away), please let me know if you would mind if I might start posting some of the posts while still "anonymizing" the e-mail address (i.e. keeping username but hiding domain info - or whatever option you think would be acceptable...).
I would really appreciate your feed-back before any changes here...
Thank you !
And... don't forget: I hope you enjoyed your visit on Forgotten Memories and I am looking forward to seeing you back soon !

Dear Readers,
I would first like to thank all of you for sharing your opinion on posts in this blog. Those help me understanding better what is interesting for you.
I also opened a new poll, which I invite you to vote !
In the last couple of months I tried to visit new places (Bad Kreuznach, Wuerzburg, Dexheim) and I hope the photos I published brought you some nice memories.
I still did not give up the plan to take a tour of deactivated installations in Stuttgart area, but I'm waiting for your suggestions.
Given that youtube became extremely polluted with garbage not related to advertised keywords, I decided to remove the section from the blog. I am searching an alternative way to broadcast to you relevant videos.
I hope you enjoyed your visit on Forgotten Memories and I am looking forward to seeing you back soon !

Dear Readers,
First note to you in 2011 - and I will have to admit I didn't realize it's been so long since the last one.
As always, I appreciate all your comments - they make me feel there is a sense in what I am trying to put together.
As a side note, I would advise all of you to think twice before including your e-mail addresses in the comments you submit. I will continue constantly to ask you to specifically confirm if you indeed want to have the e-mail address published before doing so, as the spam generators are just waiting for this opportunity.
I am still planning to visit to Stuttgart area. Hopefully soon. Any suggestions are more than welcome !
I wish all of you to be able to visit Germany in the near future and - for those of you who will not be able to make it - I will try to continue sending back a small part of it through my pictures.
I hope you enjoyed your visit on Forgotten Memories and I am looking forward to hearing back from you soon !
What new locations would you like to see on "Forgotten Memories" (de-activated locations only) ? - Poll closing Jul, 15, 2011

I was a student at HHS as well in the late 80's and early 90's. I came back in the late 90's, married with kids and lived on Fliegerhorst.
It's sad to see these photos, but thanks for posting... are you going back again?
Thank you for your comment.
I am planning to complete the tour of all former Hanau installations in the near future.
Unfortunately, access is restricted and I can only take pictures from outside perimeter. Hope, though, will be sufficient to bring you nice memories.
