K-town

[John Cantwell]

Gene's name might have been Lierla or something like that. The guy
who re-upped was Ingrim (sp)

There was an Italian place on the square downtown that I think Dan is
referring to - that was great. I loved their lasagna - it was served
in a glass dish so hot that it would burn if touched, Also good pizzas
at Masimos. I visited K-town on a trip to Europe several years ago.
I actually went back to Panzer Kaserne. High security. They let me
and my wife in with just our passports. The buildings were still
there and looked the same, but the 45th had moved to Kleber Kaserne
long ago. I don't know if the 45th is still active. It was very
nostalgic to stand in the parade field and remember all the stuff that
went on there and the fun we had. I remember spending a good deal of
time a the bar upstairs. And that wonderful food at the mess hall
downstairs!

As for me, I worked in the marketing communications business for about
25 years. Writing, photography, graphic design, editing. Now I just
golf and fly fish and goof off.

Right! Gene's name was Lyerla. He was a stoner. He bought some pot in
the nam and blended it with Cherry tobacco and he smoked it all day in
the office. The cherry aroma actually negated the pungent pot. The
Italian place is the one---those dishes were blistering hot. I just
remembered Dave's last name-Tuscanny. I definitely will get to Germany
in the next few years and will also visit K-town. Indeed, John---lots
of good memories.
