HI ENROUTER,
I AM Looking forward to this reunion. The assignment to Rhein Main AFB was the best. Me and my wife enjoyed the travel around Europe. The TDY we have to different country of Africa, Middle East and other European country or even to Ramstein to assist them. Met allot of new friends and especially the debrief at canteena, and hitting some apple corn shots. I remember the base commander has to send some SP to clear us out of that place coz it was already lunch time. But what funny, is half the night shift SP are there with us, doing apple shots.
There are so many good memories to mention good and bad, but the work was non stop from one exercise to another. Desert Shield to Desert Storm, to Cosovo, or even when the volcano erupt in the Philippines. They task us to look for available 747 to evacuate the dependents fron Clark AFB and Subic Bay.
I remember the the day I am processing at the base, a car bomb blow up and two tdy guys got killed. There are the softball team, and the bowling team. I wonder were are all that trophy that we won? There is nothing the enrouter cannot fix, We just put it CFHS... luck of interest or a case of Henniger will do.
WALTER LYNCH would like for me to inform everyone,
he is having computer problems and will not have access to our website for awhile. Walter would like anyone wanting to contact him, to please email him at the following email address:
Hey Folks, I was looking up stuff about Rhein Main AB and came across a website with some good photos of the base and some information (in german) about the base and some historical stuff. Primarily the guy has some very good photo stretches concerning the base. her is the link
Hey guys and gals, I will miss the big gathering. I hope everyone has fun and shares a lot of stories. Wes sign the card for Jim from me as well. I will truely miss being there. Gotta work double shifts. But I will be think of the fun you all will be having. Thanks Stan for once again putting us all in touch and keeping things going!
I want to thank everyone for their kindness and their willingness to make me a part of your reunion and your 435th OMS family. I have memories from the reunion that will last a lifetime. Each of you are very special people. If anyone wants help finding a fellow Enrouter please feel free to ask me or Stan. I hope everyone had a safe journey home from the reunion!
Me and My wife got home safely about 1100pm. We enjoyed all your company and the reunion was GREAT!!!!!!Thanks Stan for all the hard work and information.
Meeting some of your co-workers way back is priceless. The dinner was great and the Museum was excellent.
Thanks Deborah for all you have done, nice to meet some one who cares. Thank you. We see you at the next reunion in 2011 - Dover AFB, Delaware.
Hey Enrouters,
This was the best reunion ever! Getting to be with our C-141 girl again was great as well as the fancy dinner on Saturday. But the best thing was reuniting with old friends who worked at the amazing 435th OMS! Those few days went by far too quickly! I hope we'll all keep in better touch and Shiralee and I hope to make it to the 2011 reunion in Dover, DE.
Stan, thanks again for your ceasless dedication to all of the reunions.
Hey everyone I found this set of pictures on a website called Webshot. This fellow took some pictures of the base in 2005 that go beyond what I have in my profile. He has Gateway Gardens and some closer shots of stuff on the base and even on the flightline. Check it out!
I would like to thank the person responsible for posting my picture, at least it was from my younger days. That picture was taken at my Deitzenback house during Christmas 1983. Boy; I WISH I still look like that. If you want to see something really scary I'll post an up to date picture in the near furture.
Just got back from 2 1/2 weeks in Germany. (BEER: GOOOOOOOD!) Went in and out through Frankfurt. The only thing left of the old Enroute Area are the big light poles that used to be behind the buildings. (On a Side note: I wish the TSA Storm Troopers in Atlanta were as friendly and efficient as the German Border Police.)
Hey all enrouters I just came through Frankfort and there is nothing left of Rhein Main they have plowed up the whole base and are building a super gargo complex. It is past the back gate and almost to the old VFW club The happag Loyde hangers are still there and the hotel is now comercial there so many changes, we stayed in a holiday inn express there in Murfeldon over night and flew home the next day so I didn't have time to take pictures. The luft bruke is still there.
I'm hoping someone can help me. I am trying to upload an updated picture of my family and me but I can't make it work. I go to the upload picture page and click on brouse and select the picture but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Given the current situation with TSA, I have given up commercial flying. However, Lois and I will definitely be at Dover for the 2011 reunion, Lord willing. It's been great to see everyone after so long (1981-82). The reunion fellowship is well worth the drive from central Texas. Thank you, Stan, for all your dedication and hard work on this web site and on the reunions. See you in the fall.
Wow, it's been way too long and I sure am glad to have learned about this site. Looking forward to hooking back up with some folk. I was with Enroute from 86 - 92 and they were some of the best years of my life.
Last week I was on a Alaskan Cruise and Got to connect with John Debuse, we had dinner then went out to see his fishing boat. He is a commerical fisherman and has a really nice boat. It was fun seeing and old Enroute friend.
I regret to say that my wife and I will not be attending the reunion due to extenuating circumstances. Mom, 86, took a fall and fractured a vertabrae and is requiring constant care. She has been there for us through thick and thin and now it's our turn. Prayers for a speedy recovery would be welcome. Thanks.
Thank you to our wonderful host Mr and Mrs Kutsch and Stan. I had a great time during the reunion! Everything was great, seeing so many fiends at times the years melted away, can'wait for the next one
