Chuck, many members are getting old!!. Some don’t remember the good old days in W. Berlin. Like you said there is plenty to discuss but?? we can’t. Any members remember the train ride into W. Berlin from Bremerhaven or Frankfurt A/M? or leaving W. Berlin?? I was a member of the 570th MP Co. (railway MP’s).Arriving in W. Berlin as a “boot” no problem for the MP’s; but returning home to the the land of the big PX!! another story. Berliner Weiss!!!; did I spell it correctly. Chuck, anyhow may my small talk about W. Berlin will wake up members. If not ok. I returned home in November 1963; after JFK was murdered our “tour” ship was 1/2 way home. But returned home the day before Thanksgiving 1963. My “tour” ship was the GEIGER (troop ship). Now our service people fly; good for them. After being notified that JFK was murdered we expected to return to the “fatherland”. Never happened.
