Kim---heres from the Grad group of 73---you probably know some of these guys or their brothers/sisters..from left me, Lea Lafave (her sister was Kath Lafave), Rick Bertschy (later married Lea and was killed in 1975 in flightline accident at Bergstrom AFB, Austin texas---his sister was Lisa), Craig Giglio and Bob Shober (he had a brother but can't remember his name)

 

sorry it too so long ---regards, Al

Kim

Do you remember this?  It the Hainerberg chapel---just across the street from HH Arnold and the school cafeteria is the bulding next to it---Don't know why I have this picture in my stuff but ....here it is.  I also found a picture of some of the folks I graduated with ---I'll send it separately if I can figure out how...Al

Kim---I don't have the 72 yearbook---probably spent the money on some of that blackcat wine they sold across the road from the Hainerberg housing area instead---oh well, I remember the Stechas but drawing a blank on the Whites, I went with Bob Shober , his brother , Jack Furcucci and another guy I can't remember---we carried a boat load of food, beer and a tent.....In the next couple of days I'll see if I can find any HH Arnold pictures of people you might remember and scan them in----Hard to believe that crazy concert was 38 years ago and is now considered to be historically significant..heck we just wanted to get out of Wiesbaden and have some fun..talk to you later, Al

Kim---great to hear from you---the only yearbooks I have from HH Arnold are from 70 and 73 (year I graduated)---are you in either of those? I remember Danny Stecha (mainly by name only since he was in my class---I went to germersheim meeting with a couple of friends (Bob Shober, Jack Furcucci and others)---I wish I could remember how I convinced my parents to let me go---must have been some pretty persuasive arguements---After HH Arnold I tried to go to college---not very successfully so ended up in the Marine Corps---less then two years after Germeresheim I was toting a rifle for a living---so much for peace love and rock n roll---hey it all worked out

Who else did you go to the concert with?

If you look at the Rock photos on this site, I have slowly been building an album called Rock concerts in Frankfurt 1972---maybe you went to some of these also since I bought my tickets and bus ride from the AYA in Wiesbaden.

regards,
Al (Alex) Barnes
