Special Note: Due to space and time limitations we will no longer post messages from former active duty personnel on this page. We're sorry, but this web space was created to allow dependents and folks associated directly with dependents to find old friends and classmates. While we realize that the military experience overseas was similar with regard to making and then losing touch with friends, we must resrict our meager resources for use by those of us who had no choice but to be there. Sorry.

Comments: What a great site! Before I found this site I thought those years would be nothing more than fading memories. Although those years of my life are among the fondest of my youth they have been fading, but thanks to this site so many memories of people and places around Sembach have been refreshed for me. Like Mr."T" what a cool teacher I remember playing the slot machine at his house and listening to Bach recordings on the pipe organ. One summer I kept Mr. Campbell's golden retriever while he took his family stateside. Some of the people I remember are Karen Waldeman [who I contacted via this site and she rememberd me by the green army jacket I always wore it had some cartoon on the back I think it said beer drinker and hell raiser or something like that], Ok back to names I remember, Kennith Crisp, Kenny Sanders, Chris & Denise Moore, Richard Holmes, Carol Blunt, Susan Crib, Bruce Perkins, Lenny Pleasure, Steve Stiener [we went camping in the woods at the base of Mt. Whitie once and made some concoction that we called Pogue and Stiener stew], William Lamier, the Byrde's and the Skinners. Hopefully more to come in the future as this site continues to jog my memory. A big heartfelt THANK YOU to the man responsible for maintaining this site. You have given us back the neighborhood from our youth that we had lost like so many other military brats. Would love to here from anyone who remembers me. I have tried to email Kenny Sanders but it dosent go through I get it back almost instantly would appreciate if some would let him know I am tring to reach him. Thanks for letting me blab for so long and take care fellow Sembachers.

Comments: Oh man, the memories. I miss Germany with a passion and hope to go back and see where I grew up most of my young life. I lived in Vogelweh and K-town from 84-89 and then Sembach from 89-91. If Steven Nadeau, Daniel Revelant, or Rosetta Adams from Vogelweh are out there, please email me. If Jeremy from sembach is out there, email me too. anyone else who was there at the same time, email me to talk about the old days. Oh, does anyone know of this kind of board for other bases, ie. Vogelweh, K.I. Sawyer, or others? Let me know. Thanks and much love to the military brats! Peace!

Comments: I just thought I would come back here and post again. It's cool to keep up with so many people from Sembach! I talk to and/or see quite a few Sembachers on a frequent basis including Megan Dahl, Ryan Francisco, Heather MacFarlane, Kevin Kirsch, Meggan Mincher... It seems strange that I have left Germany 5 years ago and how close the bonds are with you all! As for me, I am finishing up my last semester at the University of Virginia and have been with my boyfriend who's in the Navy (I have to admit, the Air Force is a whole lot better!) for over 2 and a half years. Come visit my homepage to learn more! Hope to talk to you all soon!

Comments: This page brought back so many memories for me...although my family lived on "the economy," my dad worked on Sembach. I dated Gary Wilson (used to play baseball there, along with my brother, Scott Ritter). Gary and I were married, had two wonderful boys (Greg, 14 and Chris, 12) - we're divorced now, but still in touch. We used to hang out with Mike Barna, Glen (memory attack), Steve Belcher, etc., etc. So much fun! I played softball with Nettie Sanders and Toni (another memory attack...her dad was our coach!!) -- needless to say, it's been a long time. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me...until then, take care.

Comments: I have had a great time reading these comments. At 51 years old, I still have fond memories of Sembach and playing football for the tigers. Dad was with the 38th Tac Missile Wing at the time. Spent a year at Hahn Air Base and lived in the Village of Zorron for a year before being shipped to Sembach. Have been in contact through this site with a few people who were around in the general era I was, but nobody I really ran with. It is funny, the younger (?) tigers, 20 years after my group or more, had the same experiences as us. Maids rooms parties ( we won't go there) youth sports, playing guns in the woods, classrooms in the basements, football in the bowl, and so on. My sister Linda, and I loved that place. Wish my kids could have the same experience.

Comments: Hi! It's me again. I was going through some of my old pictures from Germany and thought about a few more names like Lillian Hughes, Dana Brothers, Linda Thompson, Kenny Walker, Mike Graham, Schannon Miller, Greg and Sara Mitchell, Pam Belamy, Diane and Tommy Cowles, Brenda Thompson, Teresa Strohmeimer, Christina Willingham, Mike and John Delmaso, Mary Pickering and Dawn Habberstad. Sembach was such a great place to live. I lived in 77 A-2. I never felt such a great sense of unity in my life, as I did in Germany. I am so glad to have found this site. I can't believe that we actually went 3 years without a telephone! If anyone remembers me please get in touch! Thanks!

Comments: Hi everyone! This page is great! Sembach was a wonderful place to live. I don't think that I have ever in my life felt such unity. I had to laugh when I read some of the comments about sledding in the farmers field and the farmer with the salt gun! The AYA was my hang out. Remember playing foosball? What about the dances on the weekends? I had Miss Schafer for 5th grade, Miss Duffy and Miss Cornish for 6th grade and Mrs. Pinkney for 7th grade. My best friend was Kim Sklar. We hung out with Alyson Poluleck, Laura Stoner, Dawn Habbernath, Pat & Paul Biancotti, Lanny England, Mike Graham,& Fred Sievers. I was on the Sembach Jr. Traveling Team for softball and our coach was "Skip". Monica Rivera was my "Sister". I would love to hear from any of you, or anyone who remembers me or my brother Gary.
