Welcome
Welcome to Sembachbrats.com, the online resource for that exclusive club of people who spent some of their precious youth living on Sembach Air Base in Germany. Do you remember the the football field in a bowl, the AYA, your mailbox combo, bus rides to school in the dark, drizzle, Mt. Whitey, suicide hill, flat brown & olive drab, sacking at the commisary, two months of summer, and mostly wondering what was going on back in the States? A lot of other people do too. This website was set up in hopes of finding former Sembach Brats and helping them find their friends. One of the oldest military family websites in existence, Sembachbrats.com first went live in December 1995 and we're still going strong! Spread the word.
What's New
Just to let you know that things are still moving here on the old Sembachbrats website we've added the What's New right here on the main page. Now when you arrive you'll see the latest comments and status of the page. This might look like the blogification of the website, but we promise to keep it brief and relevant. If you have news, insights or interesting information that you would like to have appear here in What's New, send them to the webmaster and we'll be sure to include them. Now, what's new here?

It's been a long time since the last update - June 10, 2007 to be exact. I am impressed that people still leave comments even when the page has been dormant for more than 6 months. I will try to get to it more often (famous last words spoken here before).
The spam from the forms processor is getting out of hand. I have moved the script 3 times now and somehow the thing keeps finding it. I get ~20 hits a day for all kinds of spam. I have to be careful not to delete the legitimate messages along with the bad. I don't have the time or motivation to add authentication or some other clever something-er-other to keep the spam out. Maybe someone can help.
Michelle Rudolph posted a message about a reunion coming up in 2008 for the 80's Sembach Brats. There is a link in the comments so check it out. I also added the message to the reunion page so go there and take a look.
I'm still hoping that Butch Hill will drop me an email sometime. Butch, if you are out there, Erna has heard from you in a while. Email me!
Happy Holidays 2007 everyone. Keep in touch with each other and remember the Bach!

Comments
This is an idea that we shamelessly stole from the DoDDS Alumni
Center page (now defunct) a long time ago. It's a great way to make contact with others and let folks know what you're up to. The way it works is simple, you fill out a short form with your name and email address and a short comment to be read by all. This information will be posted on the comments page along with everyone else's. So take the time to let us know who and where you are and what you've been up to. Please be aware that it can take from one to ten days for your information and comments to be incorporated.
Email Directory
In an effort to keep our fellow Sembachers in touch with each other, we formally maintained several email directory pages. These pages are organized by high school graduating class year. Names are listed in alphabetical order along with the current email address and with "mailto" links for easy access. While we no longer maintain the directory, it is kept here as an aid for people trying to locate others. If you would like to help revitalize the email directory please drop a note to the webmaster.
Use the menu bar below to view the directory sorted by decade.

Photographs
Calling all photographers - amateur, professional, or otherwise! We're looking for some good photos of the Sembach experience to reside in the Sembach Brat Photo Archive. Specifically, we're looking for pictures of typical items and locations that are representative of life on and around the base. You know, things like the AYA, the football field, the base gym, the post office, a typical housing unit, shots of the administration area, the flight line, sporting events, etc. We'd even like to see oldest versus older versus new of the same subject - kind of like a "then and now".
So scour those old photo albums and slide trays and find you're favorite shots of life on and around the base. Scan them in and email them to your Sembach Brats WebGuy and he'll take care of the rest. If you don't have access to a scanner, drop him a note and he'll give details of where to send the originals. We promise to take good care of them and return them promptly.
