I was stationed at Cooke Barracks in the 504th Admin Co. from July 63 to March 65. I was the Assistant Division Special Services Officer, and worked for Captain Jack Harris. This was truly a great time of my life, and I look back fondly at all the fun we had during that time.

Sadly, however, I remember clearly when President Kennedy was shot. It was about 8PM German time, and I was listening to Armed Forces Radio. The entire BOQ went nuts. We were all running from room to room trying to see if anyone else knew more than we did, and praying that the President would survive. The next morning we had a very somber formation, where Commanding General Franklin read us a message from the Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara regarding the assination. All the German populace was in shock, and would stop us on the streets to tell us how sorry they were.

I hope to hear from anyone who served at the same time as I did. I would really like to hear fromRon Christensen, Jack Harris, Bob Mueller, or any one else who was around at that time.

I did visit Goeppingen about 25 years ago, and stopped by Cooke Barracks, but couldn't get onto the post at that time. Had a great dinner, however, at the Honeydo in Hohenstaufen.

Great job on this website.

Hi everyone,

got stuck in Göppingen, when A Co 4/6th (Cohort) under First Sgt. Twyman was relocated there...with first husband...well, kinda lost him around there, too, lol.
I worked at ITT and then the Government Housing Office with Andrea, who will hopefully add a note later on
;-)(right Andy and Terry?)

Anyway, married the NBC NCO of E Co 4/16 (Sgt Wood) and we moved to Savannah, GA in the early 90's and I spent the next 11 yrs there. Now I am back in Germany, Bremen as you can see.

I miss the good ol' times, the softball games, the parties and all the people I met in my almost 12 yrs there. Still looking for SSG Gibson and so many others :-)...

Woody still lives near Savannah and we are in touch at least once a month, especially since he is in bad health now. He would probably be happy to hear from all who knew him, we talk about Göpp a lot lately.
If you are in GA or would like to give him a call to cheer him up, just send a mail to me, I will pass on his number. Right now, he doesn't have access to a computer. Anyone with VA experience is more then welcome to get in touch with me, it's tough to help him with all that from here, so any advice would be appreciated.

Take care all and get in touch :-)

Sue

I was a medic assigned to HHC 4/16 INF BN from 1989-1990. I was mainly with the BAS, but went with A Co. E Co and C Co and the 4.2 motar Plt to the field, my most memorable times were PCT, Hornberg FTX with A Co in December 1988 (Capt. Crowder extended it from 3days to a week in the snow). And can't forget FTX certain Challenge (REFORGER) in Oct 1988. much fun..

I am down here in South Florida, which then Spc. Juan "Chico" Chiquito lives near me. He is now a Capt in the US Army Reserves. I went over to the US Coast Guard Reserves in May 2000 after getting bored with a combat support hospital in the USAR. After 2 tours in the middle east with a navy expeditionary unit. I am getting ready to retire from it in two more years.

Dear Sirs,
I remember the 22nd November 1963 in Goeppingen very well! My Rock'n'Roll band and I - the "Dynamites" from Esslingen - were playing in the Gasthaus SIEBEN SCHWABEN, it was located in the center of Goeppingen. Many Americans visited this location for dancing and listening. Suddenly we got the order to stop playing immediately. MP entered the ball room. We don't know what happenend. The policemen said, all soldiers had to leave the ballroom immediately and to go back to the barracks. Later, the owner of the Gasthaus said: "President Kennedy was murdered." For an hour or more we were not able to continue playing this evening.

Dear Sirs,

it was the wonderful Mrs Elfriede Naedelin-Seebich (85) - she gave me Your internet address. Now I have some questions referring to the 1950/1960's. I was born in 1943 in Esslingen (located between Goeppingen and Stuttgart, Germany). When I was young, I often visited Stuttgart's night and dancing clubs in the city. Because I was/am a Rock'n'Roller. In the Fifties, American soldiers were the teachers of the young Germans, male and female, in teaching Rock'n'Roll dancing.
My question is: Does anybody have photographs of Rock'n'Roll in Germany in American or German (night) clubs?

If yes, please scan it. Thank You in advance for any help.

Best Regards - Eberhard Kenner.

Most troops who were at Cooke from 88 to 90 might remember me as one of the Customs MP's that took care of your hold baggage & household goods before you rotated home to the States. Also, I gave the Inprocessing Briefing for Customs to all the new arrivals up at the replacement center. Our office was in the basement of the NCO Barracks in the housing area.

Feel free to drop a line at [email link], or look me up on MySpace. It's been great catching up with you guys.

193rd Aviation Company from July 1987 - June 1991.
I had the great fortune of being stationed in the best Barracks in Germany. I stayed in Germany (Nellingen Barracks & Katterbach Kaserne)until 1995 and can attest to this fact. I lived in Manzen in the vicinity of the Police Academy in Goppingen.

I also had the Great but Sad Honor to being the last person of the 193rd to sign out of the unit. (I turned the sign-out log to the 1st IDF Staff Duty Officer, and the official 193rd AVN Set of Keys to the Barracks and offices in the hangar. It was 2 June 1991, I was enroute to my next assignment in Nellingen Barracks (MEDEVAC).

Favorite Eateries:
Das Wilder Man (Italian Restaurant)
Yak-Shak -
Burgerhoff
Gyro Stand Across Bahnhoff
Honey Do (Hohenstauffen)
Maggie's

I was an Avionics Mechanic in the Shops Platoon and some of the folks who I remember and have knowledge are below- some have been promoted (or retired)since, this reflects their rank while at the 193rd Aviation:
Frank Serrano(flt ops), SFC Lucas(MaintPlt), SSG Barlow(Flt-Plt), Spc Digby(POL Plt), Spc Chet Miller (Shops), Spc Stanley Merten (Shops), Raymond McDuffy(Flt Plt), SGT Bob Thoms (Maint. Plt), SSG Mike Castillejas(QC), CPT Dennis Davenport (Maint. Plt), SGT Carolyn Johnson (Shops), Spc Dana Dreke (Flt Plt), CPT Jo Handinero (Maint Plt/CDR). There are many other great colleagues who I remember from my days in Planet Gerp- but have not heard of since.
Paul Brady, Archibeque, Reggie Small, Larry Williams (from Gainesville, FL), SGT Bob Madigan, SPC Kauffman, SPC Wynn, SGT Johnston, SGT Ross.

Someone folks I never forget are SPC Bollinger and CW3 Bryant who died when their aircraft crashed in June 88 while returning from an FTX.

Hello everyone. It has been a while since I posted here.
Just wanted to say hello to those who remember me. I read on and feel that all that were in Planer Gurp, all in their own time, are part of a big family sharing the same wonderful memories. With that said, I am looking to contact or info on a paramedic who served between 87'/90', her name was Stacy or Tracy Chapman. If you read this please contact me or if anyone has any info, let me know. Nothing serious, just an old friend who I lost touch with. God bless you all.

Wow, the site looks great; thanks so much John, David, and the other folks who keep it up. The foto albums are great and bring back a lot of memories.
I was stationed HHC, 1st Armored Division for October 1971 - May 1972 when we moved to Ansbach. I worked in Personnel during the time of transition from Vietnam to peace time. Lot of memories and a shout out (as they say now) to Sandman, Russo, Denny of Minnesota, LTC Black who I worked for, Vogel, who took me on my first ski trip, and at least a hundred others whose names fade from memory. Also, a toast to the Class VI and Vonnegut novels on those cold winter nights and the lovely woods surrounding the kaserne which offered me a place to go when I thought I'd be in the Army forever or at least 31 months which felt like the same thing. (Anyone remember the break in the fence behind 501 Admin?
Hope all are doing well and again thanks for the site.

Hi all, I have written before but it’s been awhile. I have heard from some of my old MP buddies and others. I’m still looking for my two old roommates Kruger and Young. I was stationed in Planet Gerp. back in 1987-89 with the HHC 1st IDF (MP). I do miss the Yak Shack and the other eateries. I put a lot of miles on those old VW Vans, which if you turned to hard sometimes the sliding door would come off. I still have some old friends that I haven’t heard from like Shay (Medic) and Steve (Pilot) who got me out of the bar, plus all the other people I met while working the Main Gate. Next year will make the 20th year of being gone from there, but it feels like it was just yesterday. Fellow MP’s like hunter, Wilson, Young, Kruger, and some others made my time over there fun. The memories that I have of Planet Gerp will last forever. Hope to hear from those of you that remember me.

I worked on Cooke Barracks for over 20 years as Photo Instructor, first in the Service Club later in the Recreation Center for Morale Support Activities.

From this time, 1971 - 1992 I have hundreds of photographs left, many of people which I cannot identify anymore. G/A-week activities, sport events, Recreation facilities, also Group pictures of parts of units before they departed or the complete colleges from the MSA.

As well as the last picture of General Henslik etc., some of Colonel Parker, General Price, troops returning from Irak war and lots more.



The germans who departed after leaving work at Cooke Barracks meet once a year at the Frisch Auf Gaststätte - for the 16th time this year. I made a CD-ROM of the collection of pictures as JPEG's as well as Power Point presentation. If you send me your postal address I send you one. I am sure, you and all others find pictures of people they knew. Just tell me, you are going to use the pictures to everybodie's benefit and not for any profit purposes.

First, thanks to Dave Wisnewski for making this collage of memories a living memorial to all us fellow "Gerps". I attended Mr. Pitillo's Seventh Grade class at Goeppingen Elementary from 1956-57 and hated diagramming sentences and learning fractions snd the most punishing of all, those math questions where you had to figure out if two trains left the station at the same time, etc.,etc. They called them thought questions in those days and I didn't have a clue....I got picked on because I was lousy at sports but loved art and music (yeah I was pretty wierd). My dad was a Captain with the 8th Golden Arrow and he wouldn't lt us be the "cool" fifties kids with your Levi red tag cut off and your belt buckle worn on the side and your hair long and greased in ducktails. Somehow I survived it because I loved living in a foreign culture and devoured Schnitzel and pommes and broetchen for breakfast and spruedel wasser from the nearby cantine. I loved sledding down the hill and meeting German kids who I could say a few things to because I was learning German with Miss Hilda once a week at school. I loved the teen dances at the juke box in the AYA. I loved the American Housing Area and the forests and the hike to the top of Hohenstaufen. I loved the cuckoo clocks and the Hummel figurines and the decent,hard-working, hospitable German people who marvelled at our 1955 Red/Orange Buick convertible
and all those other wonderful American cars of the Fifties. I am 65 this month and working as an Army civilian in Mannheim ACS. Thanks for the memories you wonderful Army people out there!!! WE ARE FAMILY!!!

I served with HHC 1st IDF G-2 from 1988 to 1990, and drove for Major Rosenau, the Division(fwd) G-2 at that time. I remember Rob Clark, Geiger, Edwards, Archer, Susan Strickler, Zeigler, Tim Bauer, Sgt. Wolfe, SFC Whiters, 1SGT Bacote, and a bunch of others at Planet Gurp. Mostly good times, but Germany sure is cold in the winter, especially sleeping in a pup tent! Seems like I spent more time in the field than in the barracks those two years! Remember drinking a lot of beer and eating a ton of wurst at the Yak Shak.
