My father was stationed in Bad Hersfeld in 1966 and we joined him as a family in the summer of that year. With the base being dropped right in the middle of the community it was a great experience for an 8-9yo. The German kids walking through our school playground to go to school everyday. The shepherd herding his sheep through the meadow as they grazed and drank from the small creek that you had to cross to get on base. Seeing the barracks and other photos brought back such vivid memories. Thank you so much for the recreation of a wonderful time in my life. 12/03/10 Skip Dirk Westermann Message: Hello Michael Bennet, I remember that place very good, because I was one of those children using the way over the playground getting to school! And I miss that time too. I had a lot of American friends I played with on the playground- like playing basketball. Glad you liked Bad Hersfeld Great stories thanks for sharing, TheDeitz

You should check them out, there are some great links to pictures of the dependent community that will really bring back some memories.EB ...... Thanks Eric this is some good FYI, Gaither

Bad Hersfeld is the town where my father met my mother in 1957. My father was stationed there as an MP. I still have German family living there. I lived in Bad Hersfeld in 1966 while my dad was in Vietnam and again in 1972/73 when he was on a tour in Korea. I still go there approx. every 2-3 years to visit family. It still seems wierd and sad not seeing U.S. soldiers in that town. My dad retired as an CWO4 in 1976 and I will be retiring this year as a LTC. I can say that Bad Hersfeld has changed very little over these years and if you former 11th ACR members do go to visit you will feel like that you just left. Quick story; while attending a course at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo I met a German family that had a retaurant and they emigrated from Bad Hersfeld. They lived in the Hohe Luft section of the town, close to the Kasern. Small World. oxfordbama@hotmail.com John Hampton 04/03/10 Hello LTC Mayfield - I was wondering if the couple you met are still running the restaurant near Ft. Leonard Wood. I drive through that area now and then as I currently live a short distance from Springfield, MO. Is it a German restaurant? I love German restaurants! My wife and I would love to stop there one day to visit with them, even if they don't serve German cuisine. We visit Bad Hersfeld often and my wife used to work in a kindergarten at the Hohe Luft and is originally from Bebra. Yes, it is a small world and it's always an enjoyable experience for us both to run into people from places we've been in our Army travels, especially when they are from our former home in Bad Hersfeld,Germany. Stay Army Strong! jhampton@ozarkmountains.com

Hi Ronnie Rycek...at least thats how I remember you. If you look at the pictures you will see your sister Brenda when she was a cheerleader, and I think you might be in some yourself. You probably remember my brother and sister Randy and Corinne Burkhart. Also, I think Rick Witte has mentioned your family a couple times in the guest book. Please join my facebook group for kids who went to Bad Hersfeld Elementary....www.mainzac1@hotmail.com xxxx .... Eric @ mainzac1@hotmail.com .. . 03/03/10: hi eric i do remember your brother and sister,were are those pics you are talking about i can't find. Ron Rycek @ rjrycekjr@roadrunner.com FYI via Eric: For anyone out there who had dependents during their BH tour, or for those who you might know, please take a look at my Bad Hersfeld Elementary Facebook Group. I am pleasantly surprised at the response so far, and I am looking for more photos, members, memories and old friends! Also, Skip I plan on visiting Bad Hersfeld either this fall or next, and I would be very interested in this service. It would make things so much easier, not having to negotiate all the changes that have occured in 30+ years.

Hi Ron. I knew your dad. He was my Platoon Sergeant in first platoon of I Troop for awhile. Everyone in the platoon really liked him a lot. Afterwards, he went to work at S3. Your dad helped me find a job in S3 after I had been injured in a training accident in Grafenwoehr, so I worked with him there in S3 too. John Hampton 01/03/10: Hey Eric, that...and your comments about Mrs. Jubleau...reminded me of another person from back then I've never forgotten and with whom I was secretly in love - Mrs. Elaine Walker. She was the wife of CPT Walker, who was at one time one of the Troop Commanders, I believe (which is also why I thought it best to keep my crush a secret until now). She was a teacher who worked at the Education Center, but I'm not sure if she was also a teacher with the dependents school system.
