Hi, maybe this crosses the newsgroups that don't deal with subjects like
this, but we have limited Newsgroups in Halifax that everyone might
read, so I am posting this to Each.

I wish to find Former Brats, particularly from Germany, during any years
when they were posted there with a Military Parent. I, myself, was in
Soest, Germany from 1969-1970, and from 1970 to 1972 in Baden Solingen,
Germany. Many others I have been in touch with, came from Lahr, and
there are several Brat Pages, Lahr and Baden Pages. Contact me for more
information. I also was in Calgary, just after this year's Brat Reunion,
Aug 1997. We are planning a smaller form, of the local group of those
that were there. Some may know us, some may just share the experience.

"http://www.geocities.com/~bhurley/baden/index.html" Bob Hurley's Baden
Page
"http://www.hub.org/brat_web/" Military Brat List
"http://www.lynxu.com/brats" Military Brats Online
"news:can.military-brats" The Brat Newsgroup
"http://tor-pw1.netcom.ca/~marnault/Lahr.html/" Claire's Lahr Page

There are more sites, but if you are new, contact me, I can get you
plugged into the group.

So, for those who were Kids, and Base Brats, Lahr Brats, Baden Brats, or
just Military Brats, in those
locations, in Germany.. Please get in touch. We are planning a social,
and a chance to exchange stories,
and see who got famous.. Other than Michael J.Fox and Myself, that is
<Big Grin>

Yes, Michael J. Fox is really a brat. In fact he lived in PMQ's in
North Bay, Madelena Drive I believe, and left just shortly before I got
there in '77.

Yes, it appears to be true.
Another famous brat I keep forgetting about was/is Angela Chalmers long
distance runner and Olympian (just don't ask me how many medals she has won).

I should have known better :)
Actually I think she won numerous medals in Canada Games & Commonwealth Games
but never did well in Olympic competition

I'll spend countless hours just to research it for you :)

Likely wasn't in Germany. Sorry I forgot to change the topic.
She had a older sister Marg, she ran too but I don't think she was a
successful.
