Comments

Seven schools in ten years. Harvard College 1959. Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, 1964. Pathology residency at Johns Hopkins. Two years in the Army Medical Corps, stateside. Private practice. Live since 2012 at Asbury Place, a continuing care retirement community in Maryville TN south of Knoxville.

School Story

Lived in Vogelweh a short distance from the school. Actually learned German at KAHS, majored in German in college, still read it almost every day. Wish I could have lettered in math at KAHS. Senior trip to Italy (Florence, Pisa, Rome, Siena), May 1955.

When and where were you a brat outside the United States?

Kaiserslautern American High School, Germany, 1953-55

Have you been to a Gathering or Homecoming?

Yes

The dreaded question...Where are you from?

I'm still wondering, at 84.

Do you have a favorite place where you ever lived? What made it special to you?

Germany. I lived more years (six), before graduating from high school in San Antonio than anywhere else.

Have you been back to visit any place you lived growing up overseas?

Was back in Kaiserslautern for the big reunion in October 2003.

Did you live (not just visit) in...

Europe

Hi Kyle Green! - Kaiserslautern '55 here - retired pathologist in east TN now.
Manhattan KS is a small town. My grandfather Southwick was born there in 1875. His father Aaron Southwick was a newspaper publisher in Riley Co. A poet, he was known as "The Bard of Riley". He may have descendants in the area today. Do you Know of him? - Bob Richmond

Kaiserslautern High School 1955. Never did know much about the grade school. I was back there in 2003, went downtown and didn't speak English all day.

Kaiserslautern High School 1955. Kids from Ramstein went to KAHS until about the time you were at Ramstein. I went on to major in German in high school, then went off to medical school, still read German nearly every day, most often Wikipedia.

Kaiserslautern High School, 1955. I share your love of Germany - I went on to major in German in college (then went off to medical school), and still read it almost daily, most often Wikipedia in German.

Do you know about the American US military cemetery in Libya, relocated to Dover DE at the insistence of the Libyan government (with our enthusiastic support)?

Kaiserslautern '55 here. Back then high school age students from Verdun went to Kaiserslautern American High School - they lived in the seven day dorm, and didn't get home for many weeks at a time. - Did you learn French while you were there? I learned enough German in my two years at K-Town to major in German in college without taking any language courses there. and still read some German almost every day. - I'm a retired pathologist in east Tennessee.

Kaiserslautern '55 here. I was in Karlsruhe once, very briefly, in May 1955. I remember the city was adorned with German flags, as the occupation ended and the Deutsche Bundesrepublik was underway. - I'm a retired pathologist in east Tennessee.
