Kim Bayes - Zweibruecken Alumni Association Historian
Comments:
My name is Kim Bayes and I am a former military dependent who attended Zweibruecken American High School and the historian for the Zweibruecken Alumni Association (ZAA).
One of ZAA's goals is to try and locate as many former students who attended ZAHS as possible. Our research efforts lead us to your website, which we are thrilled to find. If you would not mind sharing the following information with your members we would be greatly appreciative.
www.zweihigh.org
Please feel free to link your site to ours if you so desire
Also of interest is an unique and exciting project underway for children who were educated overseas. Information is available at www.aoshs.org. If you click on the AOSHS donors link on the www.zweihigh.org website you can see how Zwei is going to be involved and the proposed representation.
Thank you for your service to our country,

Message from a Proud Mom
I am not a member of the Armed Forces but was very curious about Ramstein as my daughter is Army Sergeant Sara Pruisner and is a LPN at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. She's been there since April and is just finishing a visit with her two sisters.
I believe she is serving 385 days. I have no doubt this has been an eye opening experience for her as she has seen many devastating injuries to troops from many places. She even talked to a soldier who was on her floor and was from Iowa. Sara's unit is in Omaha. She will be a changed woman when she returns home after the first of the year. We miss her very much and are proud of the things she is doing while stationed there. She is very smart and has maintained a positive attitude throughout her service thus far.
Thanks to all of you for all you do in serving the U.S. and protecting our rights and freedoms as well as enabling others to maybe someday live as we do.
With kind regards,
Ann Geiken
P.S. I really enjoyed listening to the music while I browsed the maps and typing this!

Comments: Trying to make contact with RF-4 crew who may have flown training missions over a range at Castlemartin, Pembrokeshire, South Wales. Writing a history of the range and RF-4 aircraft used the area for night photo-flash RECCE missions. Do not know which units were involved, but must have been fom Zweibrucken or Alconbury. I would be very grateful for any help/advice you may be able to offer.

Comments: Property Accounting Office,Tour-Rosieres,12/64 to 12/66. Reported to Maj John Rice, Jr., Maj John Neff, Lt.Col. Pete Peterson, Lt Col Pete Pavlica and Col E.C. Blakely in that order. Also Supply Liaison briefly to the 26th FMS. My team installed the Base Supply Univac 1050 computer at Toul, took it apart and shipped it and me to Nakhon Phanom RTAFB, Thailand along with the RB66's.
Anyone know where (Lt.) John S. DuVall, and (Lt.) Larmar Cullpepper might be? Retired? Ran across Pete Pavlica, retired and remarried at Pope AFB, NC in the 1970s. Lots of photos of Tour-Rosieres in the '64-'66 period. Resigned my commission after my tour in Thailand and 4 year obligation. My 3 years in France was a vacation, my one year on Thailand was no fun. Days at Toul-Rosieres and weekends at Ramstein AFB were definately the "good old days".
I worked at Toul, but I played at Ramstein. Toul-Rosieres is possibly now a regional air port(?). Plan to go back to NE France next year and check out all the old stomping grounds, Nancy, Mets, and of course Toul Mountain. After 33 years in the computer industry in sales/marketing, now currently semi-retired, living, working and playing in Vail, Colorado. Thanks for this web site, glad I found it. If anyone remembers me, please send me an email or call.

Comments: Stationed at Ramstein in the 7030th CAMRON squadron when the 26th was moved from Toul-Rosieres France to Ramstein. Had our RF4C introduction classes at Toul. Aircraft came when DeGaulle booted us out of France in 1966. The 7030th CAMRON was renamed the 26th A&E squadron mid 1966. I left Ramstein in Dec 1966. Went to Westover AFB and the B-52/KC-135 squadrons. Fortunate to be at Ramstein again in 1987-1989 when working with E-Systems in Greenville Texas. We had an office in Bonn and our boys went to the Bonn American High School. They played baseball at Ramstein both years we were there, so we had a chance to tour the base again. It brought back some real good memories!

We were there when they bombed the Head quarters. He was low in rank at the time so we lived off base on Heinrich Koch Stauss in Weinstein. Then moved to another house in K-Town.

Comments: Edited ARMY? You betcha! AATCO Ramstein. On 7th floor of the "tower". Initially involved with operations Fig Hill and Flat Pass. Humanitarian relief to Jordan, as the PLO were thrown out(They went to Lebanon, but not without a fight...with significant civilian "colateral damage") in Sept 1970 into spring 71'.
C-141s full of M.A.S.H. units, Red Cross Supplies, etc daily. Vehicle and equipment area next to the 7th SOS. This unit, of which I was the first commander, expanded with multiple missions. Transfer of Nukes was a weekly occurance for the Advanced Weapons Command, one warhead in fresh from CONUS to replace one with a shelf life pull-date out. Co-ordinated the first C-5a tests(first birds couldn't leave the active runways because of their size, and the F-4, F-111 size taxiways) leading to full deployment. The twice weekly "Tomato Birds" in from Spain kept commissaries and chow lines in vegatables.
During 1971 my unit expanded to cater to the new widened taxi ways and loading ramps built to accomodate Dover direct traffic (taking load off Rhein-Main) Completed my tour in July 1972,
Warmest Regards, Ken
P.S.: Does the Trap and Gun Club still exist on RMS, if so I would like to replace a lost Patch for the Gun club!

Ruzic but spent most of my off time with you guys in Nuerenkirchen. Any memory jogging yet? Tipped 1 or 2 with Bill & Barney, did the Annaliesa's too many times with Bruce Web and Willie and many more things with the 26thFMS folks in Ramstein before I had to leave in 1970.
You really have a great site and it has helped me to contact others. Sorry I missed you at the re-union in Vegas,we all lied to each other and had 1 or 2 cold ones, I really don't remember. I have to talk to Hughes about why my picture wasn't included.Maybe Sparky's head and mine would have caused to much glare. An age thing again. Catch ya later and keep up the program.

We had been stationed in Kleber Kaserne for the previous 27 months(we seemed to have been the only AF unit assigned to this Army base) till our barracks were built at Ramstein. It was a great base at that time. We had a chef in the mess hall that really knew how to make SOS, and we weren't ashamed to ask for seconds when he was on duty. Haven't tasted any as good since!!

Comments: Stationed at Zwei 80-82, first assignment and one of the best. Worked in CE in the refer shop, I loved Germany so much I ended up being stationed there for over 10 Years. I had to live in the CRS dorm for a while and met s ome really great people. Bellheimer and parkbrau, oh boy !!!The going away party we had in the CE dorm on 27 Feb 82 was a wild one. 200 litres of Pirmanator (4 kegs), both the CE commander and the 1st shirt ended up in the showers that night, actually they were thrown in there. And I beleive they made it in the dumpster also. Drop me a line.

Comments: I remember the hard work in the rain on RF-4C 68-595. It kept flying despite my work. Remember "A" Flight, 26 OMS (76-78). "Alpha" Flight was first flight on right at Sunny Zwei. Our first flight office was the bunker, hen we went to the building near the tank farm. Remember Sully, Randy Ford, Reese, Tommy Hillard(SP?), Jim Ilg, The Indian, and ParkBrau. Safety wiring the fins on the center line tank. Panel 111, 102. Some additional trivia. Some of the F-4's are being converted to drones and sent to Tyndall and Holloman. Not sure if the reccies are being converted. I'd welcome old flight members to email me.

Also, anyone know names, locations and how to contact any or all of the 3 French sisters who frequented the Airmens Club Rama in 1967/1968 ?? At least one married an enlisted man stationed at Ramstein then.

Comments: I wasn't with the 26th, I was in the 807th TCS during the years of 1957 thru 1960 - when the base was called Landstuhl AFB. We were next to the jail - convenient. The runway was on this side and the housing area was on the Ramstein side - across the Autobahn. TCS stands for Tactical Controll Squadron. If anyone out there was with the 807th, please contact me via E-mail - I'd like to talk to you.

Scott was a Jet Mechanic in the 26th FMS engine shop from May of 67

Comments: 1967 - 1970, R&R assistant, NCOIC and resident flight control systems expert. (I must have been the expert, seems like I was always going TDY to fix flight control problems.) (VBG). As my memories are now fading into the mists of time, the only ones I do remember were those [censored] RF-4D hanger queens, the triple shifts. and the one F-4D that a certain Captain brought back with one wing leading edge slats ripped off. I remember his name but in consideration to the rank, he shall remain only in my memory. There was also a cigar chomping senior NCO named Preputnick, who sticks in my memory too. Anybody remember him? Probably not, Most of us have probably passed on by now. Well there it is... I will be awaiting to hear from anyone from that era. (VBG)
