Welcome to all those that visit my site if you like it tell me, if not tell me, something to add tell me. I was with the Scout Platoon 50th Infantry (Playing The Game), If any of you remember me let me know 1959-1961. Looking back at a City called Erlangen, "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times". Ferris was those early wake ups, bed check, and First Sergeants. It was unbelievable hours for alerts, work all night for Saturday morning inspections and winter maneuvers. Remember those wonderful excursions to Graf/Hohenfelds? Cold showers, knee-deep mud, and the occasional short arm inspection. Looking back through time these things fade to gray and the "best of times" shine in our remembrance. For many of us it was our first time away from home. A time to stretch our wings. A time to explore new places, new ideas and new people. It was a little daunting at first, being so far form home. But new friendships were formed along with a camaraderie that only a soldier can know. That is what this was all about. As much as we hate to admit it we are older men now. This is a place we can meet lost friends, swap a few lies, and catch up. Here we are on the Internet we are not old. Our knees don't creek, our reflexes haven't slowed and our hair hasn't grown gray or disappeared. Here we are forever young, forever comrades and forever admiring those pretty freuleins walking in our special watering hole. Here at Ferris we are soldiers, knights in olive drab, defenders of freedom, and consumers of huge quantities of German beer. Welcome home.
