My father was stationed in Hemer
when he met my mother who was from Hemer. His name is Don Thivierge and her
name was Erika Zatska (sp) I would love to connect with someone who may have
known them. While there they had a son named Donald Jr. I believe my dad
would have been there between 1957 and 1961. When they came back to Canada
Erika was expecting their second child. |

Some of the best memories of
childhood were in Soest. Remeber all the sports and touring all over Europe.
When we returned to Canada my parents posting choice was the flakey left
coast and Vancouver from that point sure missed the friends (army brats) I grew
up with and never with an exception of a couple bumbed into again. Remember
the Keramis (fall fair) Winterburg and other local areas. Remember cycling to
the Mohne sea Dam. The brigaderes house called big top if memory serves me
correctly. Sometimes wish one could turn back the clock. |

Looking for Donna Watson, I
believe she has become a writer, if it is the right Watson. Where are you
Watson? What can one say after a million years away from high school,
couldn't return to Canada, after so many years overseas, traveled 98
countries now, worked in 12 countries, became a teacher, worked almost 30
years overseas and 12 other things just to put myself through school. I had
wondered if someone would find a way to do a reunion for our lot, have been
back to Soest several times, but didn't see anyone, except for a few German
friends. I am Canada now, but I having culture shock to no end, can't even
watch TV, but I have one good friend, so I am alright, |
|
|
I am
very happy, however I would like to find Donna Watson. |

Interesting seeing the old
photos of Deilinghofen and 1SSM (although I had trouble getting a slideshow).
I left the unit and the Canadian Army in the summer of 1968 to return to
university for post=graduate studies. But, I had married a girl from Iserlohn
and so returned frequently over the years to the area even after the Canadian
units had moved to Lahr. |

I also
visited East Germany and Berlin. Of course, we were not allowed to visit the

We moved to Germany in 1962 came
across on the SS HOMERICK started off all right but hit the tail end of a
hurricane on the way. Moved intoe Langschied on the shores of the Sorpasee.
Lived above a blacksmiths shop for a year or so then into Hemer. My father
was CE Crocker, Sgt., 1 SSM Battery at Fort Prince of Wales. Left Germany in
the fall of 1966 just B where I got out of school in 1968 then joined the
RCMP in 1970. Went to Saskatchewan for training and stayed in Saskatchewan
and the NWT for the next 36 yrs. Worked in Coppermine NWT which was 250 miles
north of the Arctic Circle. Stayed in the NWT for 10 yrs., then came back to
Saskatchewan. Retired in 2005 and went back to work for the Sask., Gov't as
an investigator and still employed with them. Nice to hear from people that
have lived in the Ruhr area. |

We moved to Hemer when I was 5,
my dad being with the Royal Engineers. Im guessing that the Canadian forces
had moved out just prior to the British army moving in. The photos of the
quarters plus especially the school brings back a lot of happy memories...
Not to mention "Propper Snow" - here in the UK the winters are just
wet and even as an aduly I really miss the knee-deep snow we'de get in
Germany! |

Hi everyone. I haven't left a
message for a long time now so thought I should update it. I am officially
retired now and learning how to live the life of leisure! Volunteering,
playing bridge - must say, it's rather pleasant after working all those years!
Am still looking for Linda (Snoopy) Crowder and Don Kirkey - anyone know
where either of them are? I was able to make contact with Joanne Collingwood
and Brenda Ruttkay, which was really neat, and also Paul Jones (a Brit
soldier who lived near Hemer). Am living in Belleville, Ontario with Ozz, one
dog and four cats! My mother is still going strong (now 87 and looks great),
brother Peter and Carol are in Havelock, and everyone is doing great. Anyone
who remembers me drop a line - would love to her from you. |

I really enjoyed this trip down

my Hemer yearbook years ago, so this was a treat. Many thanks as well to, the
folks that put this all together. I can see that it was a great endeavor that
took a lot of work. Again, I thank you kindly and a big hello to everyone
that I may know out there. Take care all! |

We went to Germany in 1956 and
were there until Oct/Nov 1957 when we came |
|
|
back to
Canada. I went to kindergarten but don't know where, I do recollect being put
on a volkswagon van and being driven to school. We lived in Unna on |
|
|
Goethe
Strasse. Pmq was about 4-5 units and out the back doors was a large play area
and I recollect off to the left was a metal railing and below that was the |
|
|
roof of
the garages that were down there. Until today I thought we lived on Gouda
Strasse but it obviously would be Goethe. For only being there for a couple
of years and being so young I have many memories of living there. One of my
better memories is of being in school and having to wear these red slippers
with zippers up the front, God I hated them. We lived in Winnipeg until Aug
1968 and then went to Shilo where I went to grades 11 and 12 and then worked
at Canex from 1971-77. Spent 30 years with the RCMP as a Telecoms Operator,
retiring in 2008. |

Simply taking a trip down memory
lane. Remember the PMQ vividly. We livedat the top of the hill. Youngest
brother fell off the 10 foot wall running on the one side of the building.
The only PMQ located here and totally surrounded by the local residents and
economy. Wiped out on my bike going down the hill. Great times for myself and
my three brothers. |

I started Gr. 1 in Hemer. We
rode the school bus from Balve each day for three years. I'll always remember
the ride. Someone posted a photo somewhere of the Gr. 3 class that i'm in. I
think there may be others. My sister Claire was one year ahead of me. Our
father was Pay Corps and i remember lots of RCHA and QOR people. After a year
in Fredricton/Gagetown 1961, our family ended up in Ottawa. I've been back to
Hemer/Balve in 1989 and again in 1995 and 2008. I'll try posting photos
sometime when i'm back in Canada. |

thanks to a band member Gaels of Fundy Pipes & Drums who lived in Werl 59

for 60-61 are not on the site. Great site though. |

September of 1967 and other general photos of 1 troop. I am also interested
in photos from 156 platoon Cdn. Guards Depot in 1965-1966, 40 Section RCSME

What a wonderful

has all time gone! My father was with the 3 RCHA. I lived at 9F Berliner
Strasse with my parents John and Kathleen Mills and brothers Robert, Gary and
sister Jan. I attended Hemer elementary school GR. 2 & 3 and Hemer Junior
School Gr. 4 (Miss Alford) & Gr. 5 (Miss Hoath). Would be lovely to hear
from anyone who might remember me from that time. |

Hi All hope you don't mind me
looking over your page I served with the British Army in Werl in the early
80s as an RMP had to patrol most of the camps you talk about but under
different names, it brought back memories seeing your pictures. I also served
on attachment to RCMP IN Bosnia. All the best Colin |

Just came back to the Guest book
to leave a bit of sad news. Cliff Mackay whose father Major Mackay was the
Mayor of Hemer during my stay there has passed away. Cliff attended RMC and
went on the several high positions within the Ontario Government and several
other high profile positions. He was a great guy during our school years and
went on to be a great man in industry. A great loss for the Hemer Alumni. He
is the second of our cohort to pass on, Brooks Chand'Oiseau passed away last
year. Time passes and so do great friends. |

In the early 60's, I met the
first Canadian children in the indoor pool in Unna. I think his name was
Kenny and he lived in the Friedensstrasse in Unna, today the Friedensstrasse
is renamed to Am Südfriedhof. Later, I met Bob, Tom, and Rodney. I was friends
with Mike Seniuk and Dave Miller. All these contacts helped me to expand my
horizons. Thank you, that you were in Germany. If anyone remembers or knows
how to reach Dave Miller I would like to reach him also. All the best |

My last Guest Book Entry Jun
2006 -- I expect many of the old soldiers are now at the stage of getting too
old or forgetful to add comment of the time we spent in and around the
Canadian Brigade while it was stationed with the British Army on the Rhine. Viewing
the photo section how over the years the buildings and Forts are now
crumbling into the ground very little left of what it once was. Because of
how this site has over the years kept the memories alive this old soldier
appreciates its exceptional value as a point of history in his life. Thank
you all for recording our military contributions in the "Cold War". |

It was great,to look back at the

with one of my kindergarten and grade one classmates, Douglas Farmer. We both
live in BC, and through facebook made contact about 4 years ago, and actually
met for coffee after 44 years!!! What a trip down memory lane...thank you,
thank you, thank you to the person or persons responsible for this site!

little about the Canadian presence in W. Germany apart from this site and a

Haven't been here for about 5
years and it still looks great. A little disappointed that there are so few
here from my Hemer years. I still keep in touch with Georgina Bosch (Beattie)
and Gary Stronach, but we are now retired at Matlock on Lake Winnipeg. |

Well, since it's been 10 years
since Dave started us on this wonderful journey to our past ... I guess it's
time to sign the guestbook! I read it faithfully and am always amazed at the
reactions and comments from everyone who "lived the life" with us.
I'm also amazed at the generosity of our contributers and that these pages
bring back great memories to so many people. thank you Dave, Trish, Ray,
Larry for starting us on this journey and to everyone else who has
contributed to its continuance. |

My father was Major Kenneth
Nelson Webber of the QOR, 2 battalion. I was only 7-10 years old. My father
was very sad when the QOR 2 was changed into the Princess Pats around 1970. I
remember him leading the Fue de joix? We used to watch him on parade....quite
the sight. We sat with the general. cheers, Marion |

Germany. I am presently living in Campbell River, BC, where the golf is
fantastic. Would love to hear from others who were there at the time or as they
say "back in the day" |

My father, Murray J. Morris, was
an RCD who was stationed at Fort Beausejour. My mother, Marion Morris, and my
two older sisters, Joanne and Monica, were there too. We moved to Germany
from CFB Petawawa. Mrs. Collins was one of my teachers in Hemer. After
leaving Germany, we moved to CFB Gagetown in New Brunswick, where we stayed
for five years in a small house on Dakota Drive. I attended Gesner Steet ES
(grades 2 to 6). |

My family lived in Soest from
1953-57. My dad was in Public Relations for the Canadian Armed Forces and
reported for The Beaver, while my mother worked for Radio Canada
International. We lived in the PMQs and a young German woman named Gisela
lived with us and looked after my brother and sister and I. I believe she had
relatives in Vellinghausen. I am going to Soest in a few months (September
2011) to re-visit the town and perhaps track Gisela down. |

Great photos. Does anyone
remember playing in the Welshmier Forest (spelling??) We went over to Germany
on the SS Empress of France in mid December 1957. Quite a trip :) I was 8
years of age and we left Germany to come back to Canada in November of 1960.
Anyone know Laurie Linden? She was my best friend during that time. Thank you

Lived on "economy" for
the first year, then moved into the PMQs - the block right behind the pub.
This site brings back a lot of good memories, and it's great to look at the
pictures. Anyone remember going door to door 'trading comics'? (Often the
only way to get a new comic). Shopping at the MLS? |

What an awesome site! It has
brought back wonderful memories of a great time in my school life. Thank you
so much for putting this together. For years I have been searching for a lost
friend.... and maybe one day Heather Hiltz will venture upon this sit,e as I
did, and hopefully contact me. What I remember most about my stint in
school was the great teachers, the competitive nature of the sports teams and
the fun field trips we took in the back of a deuce and a half with the summer
camps. I also remember Lesley Stevens wonderful voice and wishing I could
sing like her! Thanks again for the trip down memory lane. hugs, Sharon
Wither (Morrison)...By the way...for those who remember George Ede, he has
been my partner for the last 33 years! lol...living the "early"
dream! |

What a fabulous experience. I
tell my son & daughter and grandchildren about it from time to time. I
would love to be able to give them the same experience. I still remember some
of the great friends and the games we played in the playground next to the
school. Who remembers 'war' where you drew the circle in the sand and
divided it into countries and tossed a stick and marked out you conquest? |

Summer of '64, Shilo, Squad.121
then posted to CFB Petawawa then CFB Gagetown and Fort Prince of Wales, 1967.
Germany was my Gunner Days Finale. Great times, fond memories, and a
privilege meeting all I made contact with while serving and singing with the
band "The Tender Touch Group" with Joey George, Charles
"Chuck" Gauvin, Dave & Pat Haddad (not related). We performed
at the Teen Hut, the Ranch House, and Centennial Day Celebrations etc. I made
contact with our drummer Joey George from this site. If there are any
pictures of the band or this old gunner, or you just think you know me, I
would like to hear from you. Feel free to contact me, my door will be
open. This site has opened doors to finding young gunners who I now call
"Old Brothers" This is a "Great Site" There are
names that sound familiar and I know there are many more, this site we call
Ruhr Memories is the place that opens doors. Thank You...Burt |

Great to recall some of my old
teachers. I fondly remember Mr. Hockirchen (We called him "Hooker")
assaulting me with a yardstick. I remember Miss Anderson slapping me across
the face for making fun of her Hee-Haw laugh (Sounded like a darn mule). I
remember Miss Fransen giving me the strap. She was kinda cute in her own way.
Real battle-axe.I do fondly remember certain teachers like Mr. Cowan and
Mr.McCrum. I hope all is well with them. Bye for now -- Myles |

This was my fovorite posting,
while in Germany, I was part of the Guard of honour on Vimy Ridge, I'm not
certain but I believe it was in 1959 or 1960, I was a Blacck Watcher, so Our
Kilts, green coatees, diced hose tops, white spats, belts and gloves made us
perhaps the most colourful guard, we stayed in Arras, which is a short
distance from the Ridge. |

This is on behalf of my father,
his name was J Roy Boudreau, he was a gunner and then a bombardier. I was
just gonig through his album from Germany and I have a copy of the menu for
the 1964 Christmas Dinner. It was signed on the back by nine of his friends,
some of the names that I can read are Davis, Potter, Conway, Smith and Neal.
There is also varios pictures and buisness cards as well as leave papers.
Would be nice to talk to someone who had served with or knew him. There are a
fair bit of b + w pictures from Germany and Shilo. Thanks Al Boudreau |

I would like to say that these
were some of the best years of my life and would look forward to hearing from
members that I have served with. Betty and I are now living in Pictou County
NS. I have been working with CFPSA (DND) for the past 9 years and am
presently working in Kandahr Afghanstan. I from time to time meet up with
many soldiers I served with. If anyone has some old pictures from the past
with me in if you could send me a few that would be great. All my albums were
lost over the years. Thanks. "UBIQUE" |

Just returned from a visit to
Werl in October 2010. Did not find old PMQs this trip but saw one of the
Forts {now a golf course}. I was 10 years old at the time. I had a sister
Annette who would have been 15/16. She had a radio show called "2 Girls &
a Star". Must have been a radio station for the PMQs only I suspect. I
was also in cubs and went to Winterberg. There is a picture posted of Cubs
from Werl in 1958. It appears they are going somewhere because of the
luggage. I am almost certain that is my dad in the background fixing my
uniform. I am also looking for pictures from this period or pictures from the
Ivernia or Corinthia. What an amazing site and journey down memory lane. |

were born in Iserlohn moved back to Canada in 63 (Oromocto) then back to
Germany in 66. We lived at 22C Breslauer Stra. I've always wanted to go back

My father's (step father) name
was Russell Beaton, mom Rita,older brother Joe and Jimmy. Younger sister Una
and Mary. I was 8-10yrs old turning 10 when my father was posted to 26
ordinance depot in Cobourg Ontario. My memories of Soest was trading comics,
walking through old germany military dumps, going to the canteen and buying
candies off-base. Friends were, Drummond, Terry McGrath, Sloanewhites,
Gallagher, Jenkins etc. I remember the ball field, flying kites there etc.
Would love to go back and take the walk again. |

to Roger LeBlanc: you got
delayed a few montths going back to Canada... I was delayed a month coming
over for the same reason - Castro & Kennedy. With my kit already in
Trenton, we were held back and were to be the first Cdn troops heading to
Cuba... finally left on Dec 1st by boat. To whomever may be interested: I
have some old photos, not yet digitized from the early 60s... and have made
several trips back to Germany, from 1996 to the present. I have literally
thousands of photos of the present Germany, mainly from the Wickede area, but
also of other places... also have many photos of the departure ceremony of
2009 and the gravesite at Werl (dependents area)... also hope to get photos
of the soldiers' area this visit... have photos of the 40th celebration this
past May also. |

I just love this site and over
the years it has been the source of so many wonderful memories. I am also on
Facebook. So I started to wonder if there would be interest in a Soest Army
Brats Facebook page. So I created one named, big surprise, Soest Army Brats.
The first thing I did was put in a link to this great site. It is a skeleton
now but hopefully people will find it and add stories, updates, photos,
events, whatever. It is certainly worth a try! In the meantime, thanks for
keeping this site updated. It's a gem. Ed |

Hi everyone. Myles Ferguson
here. I have many great memories of Germany (many not so great ones too.). I
just stumbled upon this website. I Google earthed "Hemer" and, on a
whim, I did a search on "Hemer High School." Mike Lewis, if you're
out there, I hope you're doing well. ~ Myles |

My family went over on the

teachers. I remember the thick choking fogs which seemed to sit on top of the
town. I remember bug outs and riding in the back of a deuce and a half. My
father Major Patrick Harrison died in February. I would be interested in
hearing from anyone who was in Hemer at the same time. |

Wondering if anyone out there
remembers some of my friends, with great fondness. Roy Finzel, Rod Orman,
David Mayne, Debra Phinney a great singer if I remember right, and Lindsay
Gaylor, to name a few. My older brother was known as Alphi, and Of course I
was Alphi Jr. We are both in Nova scotia and possibly my brother was to some
of the reunions that have taken place. Hoping to hear from someone from the
old days. |

My fondest memories are from our
years in Soest. Good thing we had no TV... we were far too busy trading
comics, playing in the Belgique woods and building go-carts for that. Terry
Cox, Geoffrey Birdsell and Glen were all part of the crew. ...and Marg's is
still there? Will find out this Sep as Diane and I plan on revisiting. Cheers
to all! |

It is so amazing to find this
website. My brothers, Bill LaBelle & Sandy LaBelle, and myself have
wonderful memories of the years spent in Hemer. I cannot find a picture of
myself but I am mentioned in a sports day getting #1 for broad jump. Bill &
Sandy are in pictures. I have been to Germany a few times since but
unfortunately never got to go to Hemer. My favorite memory is the green green
grass and trees. Bring tears to my eyes just thinking about it. It would
be great to hear from anyone who lived in Hemer, Werl, and Soest. |

My brother, Mike Keegan,
directed me to this wonderful site. It was the first time I have seen my
class pictures. I was in the 8th and 9th grade and some of grade 10th. What a
thrill to see all the familiar faces of friends and teachers. Sure would love
to re-connect with a few special friends. Thank you so much to the folks
responsible for doing this. I will check in from time to time. Lezlie Keegan |

What a great site. Just
discovered it while checking out some things about Germany and CAF. Can't
believe the pictures that are posted. Found my class picture from 1963-64
year book. Class 7A. I actually remember some of the faces but can't put many
names to them. I remember the Teen Club and the little place where we got
fries, "Hole in the Wall" I think it was called. I will check back
often. |

This is a most awesome sight and
I just discovered it. We lived in one of the former Belgian Officers
PMQ's on Schutzen Strasse. I remember it being on a hill and it seems to me
that it was a building off by itself. There were other units at the bottom of
the hill. Some of our neighbors were the Tribes (Bonnie) and the Millards
(Nellie). Next door to us lived Louise, Raymond and Frankie but I don't
remember their last names. I do remember that the German's next door got
little Frankie, who may have been three or four at the time, stinking drunk.
We had a large backyard that was paved and I learned how to ride my
two-wheeler there before I was allowed out on the street. I also
remember that we use to walk on a trail along the edge of a stream and it
seems to me we walked from the main CDN PMQs to the place where we lived
along that route. I would be interested to know if anyone remembers that
route. My sister is the J. Clarke (Jean) who is in a lot of the high school
photos. She now lives in the Lower Mainland. |

40 years ago today, at about
this time of day (1730hrs), my mom, sister, brother and I boarded a Yukon at
Trenton to fly over to Dusseldorf to rejoin my father, Sgt. Reg Turner,
2PPCLI. My first time on an airplane, stuck in a window seat beside one of those
massive turbo-props! For me, it was the start of a three year adventure,
certainly the most life altering event I've had. I can't fathom how forty
years has vanished, the memory of boarding the Yukon is crystal clear. We
were only in the Hemer area nine months before moving down south to Baden
after Mr. Trudeua's forces experiment. We lived in a beautiful old stone
house overlooking the Sorpesee out in Langscheid. What a change from row
housing PMQs across from Downsview in Toronto! |

I was fortunate to be one of the
many young men whose lives changed considerably durung our tour of Germany in
the 60's. We were naive as to te world events taking place at the time and
how close we were to "Armageddon" in 1962. We continued to train
and "play" and have memories today that will always be special. |

I just discovered my adolescence
again on this great website! I had no idea the site was here. I will be
visiting it again frequently. It inspired me to pull out my yearbooks and
reminisce today. I realize how fortunate I was to spend 3 years in such a beautiful
little town and to have had the opportunity to meet such nice friends. I live
in Kitchener, ON now and would love to get in touch with some of those nice
friends again. |

I was so thrilled to be told of
this site, and have spent several hours walking down memory lane. Sadly I
have yet to see any names that ring a bell in the guest book , but the
annuals were fantastic to look through. I have been in contact with Jim Kerr in
Toronto, and know that Bram Fisher lives in my home town of Kingston,ON, and
Paul Titterton has been living in Scotland for the past 44 years. I would
love to track down some others, like Susan Westfall, Jane MacIsaac. Sheila
Reynolds, Elaine Morrison, Don Bowan, or anyone else from back then. So many
of you have said it was the best days of your life, and I agree 100%. Have
been back twice and will visit again in 2010 with my brother David, and my
sister Lynn. Can't wait! Michele |

I was able to go back to Germany
last fall and with relatives living in the area I was able to go back to all
the places where I was posted and where I lived.It brought back lots of
memories most good, some bad. My best memories were of my time with 8 CH. I
can still hear RSM Smokey Shaw and his high pitched voice when he was doing
his thing. |

Just viewed the pics of Fort PoW
posted by Ross Campbell. By way of explanation the one church is being
re-done as a private residence, which I think is tres cool. Glad to see at
least some of the old sites are being put to decent use instead of being allowed
to go derelict. |

What a great website! I received
a call from Elaine Todman (nee Hood)today about it. It sure is nice to see a
lot of familiar names and faces that I went to school with overseas. I have
been living in Winnipeg for the last 39 years. I have been on this website
for over two hours and I just don't want to get out. There are a lot of
interesting messages. I will continue to search this website frequently. |

Wow, what a treat to find this
site. It brought back a flood of childhood memories. My Dad was with the 8th
Canadian Hussars, Mom worked at the Maple Leaf (Canex). I was one of the kids
who had polio during my stay in Germany. I remember soaping the school
windows on Halloween (my brother Richard Parry)turned us in. Loved the school
dances. We were transferred to Petawawa in December 1962 where I remained
until I married and moved on in 68. I've returned to Germany several times
the last move in 1989 when we were transferred to Baden. I love Germany so
much that we are considering retiring in the Rhine Valley. We are presently
in Victoria, BC where we've been for over 20 years. |

I am unable to find a contact

NRW and another 50 from Lahr. My NRW photos are of 1RCHA and Fort Prince of
Wales as well as in the field. There are also some of the Felsenmeer in FPOW,
Brigade sports, Kirmes and other activities — and 33 photos of the 1968 PPCLI
Band and Drill Team in England at the Royal Tournament. I was attached to
2PPCLI from the Gunners as a musician. I was Regimental Bugler for Lt. Col.
MD Calnan during his tenure as CO of 1RCHA. I would like to post some (or
all) of these photos to this wonderful site. I need HELP and directions.

I guess living in Werl, Germany
as a military brat had to be one of my greatest experiences which I can
remember to-date. The second best experience was living there the second time
for six years with the Royal Canadian Air Force (1973-1979). I had managed to
learn the language during my first time there and this was to my advantage
while living there as a civilian and second, as a serviceman. I was
transferred to the Europahof Hotel as management and knowing three languages
was a pre-requisite. Travelled to every country imaaginable less the
communist ones because of my security clearance within the military. I have
managed to travel back there several times after being posted back to Canada
and who knows, I might just return one more time. Auf Wiedersehen bis nextes
mal. |

Nice to see a local reunion in
Ontario... After all once a brat always a brat. Seeing the old school - can
still picture the days of "double dutch skipping" on the stairs and
the good old hill hang out. Does anyone remember the 2 hills we named
"bear hill and kite hill" in Hemer. I won't forget being a brat
living next to the local German Hospital in Hemer... seems we always raided
the lucious gardens next door to it |

I was borne in 1958 so my
memories of those early years in Germany are a little sketchy. I do remember
Grade 1, 2 and 3 in Fort Macleod. My older brother Terry and sister Sandy
went to the school located down the across what I thought was the mainstreet in
Hemer: Across from the parking lot where the buses picked up us 'little
kids'. I remember making about 25 marks washing cars in the MLS parking lot
on Saturdays and the Felsmears (sp??) rock formations. And of course Paul
Boon's (again spelling is questionable) where a 7 year old could buy
firecrackers and stinkbombs! |

Great site, if you go on any of

Emailed these sites and never had any reply..I have pictures and a full 1 SSM

My mother forwarded this website
to me (it was sent to her by a friend). Thanks for putting this together. Had
a great time looking at the photos. Have many memories of living in
Hemer...catching the school bus each day (they lined up along the street every
morning), shopping with Mom at the MLS, running across the street to the
"Spar" (the grocer sold the best licorice whips) and even trying to
sneak in to Little Canada (only to be kicked out). We lived across the hall
from the Adair family (Willy, Ward and Patti were the kids, and they were the
same ages as myself and my siblings). Thank you again. |

I am the father of Gary and
Martin Jones who are previous guests. I was NCI i/c Admin. at 1 FDB from Apr
'59 to June '62. I served in WW11, with the RASC and RCASC from Feb '40 to
Mar '46 then became a civilian Policeman in the UK until June '54 when I joined
the C Pro C until June '62, then civilian life in UK. I am in my 90th year so
I doubt that there are many of my old buddies left. Still you never know.
Anyhow it would be nice to receive an Email from another old codger! Thanks
for this web site, it has brought many happy memories to my sons and myself.
Happy memories never fade. |

Brother of Gary Jones in
previous guest book entry. As he mentioned dad was in RCPC at 4FDB, Fort
Henry working nearly all his time in the office. Together with Ivan Jones I
attended the junior school but a year behind Ivan, Grades 3,4 and 5. They
were great times and we all have very fond memories of Soest which we missed
when we moved to the UK after my dad finished his tour. Kept in touch with
Garth Hall for many years but lost his address in Dawson Creek during my
moves whilst serving in the RAF, would love to hear from him and anyone else.
It was a real find to come across this site a few nights ago and the whole
family is now enjoying it, keep up the good work. |

I love this site. I was at a
birthday party last night for a friend's 50th (in Langley B.C.). It just so
happened his sister-in-law was a teacher in Werl. I went onto this website
and found her picture in the school yearbook, and Emailed her the link. What
a small world and this website really pulls the past to the present. Thanks
to everyone and anyone who worked on putting this together. |

My dad (Jack) was the Akela of the french Wolf Cub Pack and my mom (Monique)

me drop a line. Was in Werl in 2003 and must say that the place looks great

I would love to talk with anyone
that remembers me from the old days. Sharon Cleaver perhaps??? I was between
the ages of 10-12 when I was there. Sang solo in the school choir and
remember with fondness, playing softball and Margarets' french fries and of
course, the one and only "gift shop". Drop me a line! |

Your website is really
something, it brings back fond memories of being a young soldier once again.
It was also my first posting outside Canada although there were many more
overseas posting to follow as a Peacekeeper. Keep up the good work, I refer
to your website quite often. I now show it to my Grandchildren that are in
their late teens and twenties to show them what lief in the Army was like in
those days. |

I have joined the BAOR site and
have spent the last several months thoroughly enjoying it. While I don't wish
to suggest we Canadians swoop in and "take it over", it might be of
interest to many of you that the BAOR site's webmaster has very generously
now included a history of the various Canadian forts. There is also
considerable discussions going on in the formum re Canadian Inheritance, and
shared memories of Hemer, Soest etc. It might be worthwhile to check out (see
the link in the Links Section). |

What wonderful memories were
made in Hemer when we were all very young and foolish. I loved every minute
and would do it all again. Does anyone remember me at all either? What about
Jim Fawcett? He went out with Linda Tredwell for a short time if that helps
anyone? Jim and I went to the dance in Soest one Friday night and actually
won the door prize. I think we won a ladies hair dryer and men's electric
razor if memory serves me correctly. Well, after 20 years of no contact and
not having a clue where the other one was, we managed to find each other
again. We reunited in 1988 and married in 1991. We have been happily married
since then. Between us we have 3 boys (mine) and 1 girl (his) as well
as 8 grandkids. 3 boys and 5 girls and one more on the way. Ladies, why
not take a moment to check out my webstore? Also, who would have beleived
that I'd be selling sewing patterns later in life? Certainly not me that's
for sure...lol Oh well, any of you ladies out there that still sew
other than me? I carry all the smocking & heirloom sewing patterns you
could imagine. There are currently over 200 items listed with 100's of items
still to list... If you don't see what you are looking for in my store,
let me know what it is and I'll try to find it for you. You can contact me
using my regular email address listed here or any of the "contact
me" links in any listing. I hope everyone is doing fine. I'd love to
hear from you... Take care and God bless you all, Marnie |

I was simple blown away when I
found this web site while looking for info on my Dad's military service.
Memories came flooding back as I saw the old photos. Well done to those
people who put it together. After Hemer we went to Camp Borden then to
Vancouver where my Day retired. After lots of years travelling around I met
and married an Australian and have lived in Queensland since 1979. We have 2
kids Jay 20 and Kara 17. I never thought Kara looked at all like me until I
saw my grade 8 year book photo. |

I lived on 48 Von Holenveg and
was in grades 7, 8 and 9. I still think of the happy times spent there and
the little town of Soest where we walked along the wall around the city, went
to the swimming pool in town and visited lots and lots of castles. One of my
best friends there was Carolyn Webb... her father was an Anglican minister
and we had good times. My sister Wanda and I plan to re-visit Soest in 2010
as a retirement gift to myself. I can hardly wait to see it again. Wendy

Was living in the Werl PMQ's
while attending Soest Senior High. Worked at Radio CAE during my latter years
in Fort Victoria. My dad was with The Royal Canadian Engineers stationed at
Fort Victoria, Werl. Both my sisters Helen and Johann attended Junior High
School in Werl and eventually my sister Johann attended Soest Senior High
after my time there. Great memories over there playing in a German Rock n'
Roll Band, motorbiking across countryside and taking the opportunity to learn
the German language. I eventually went back to Lahr, Germany (1973-1979) to
manage the Europahof Hotel for The Canadian Armed Forces located in
Schwarzwald Deutschland (Blackforest Germany). |

I was in grade 4, 5 and 6.. I
remember a few childhood friends and schoolmates. They are Lillian Brodie,
Ronnie and Anthony Antaya, Elise Osside and a boy in my class named Bill
Debellfielle. Great memories from Germany, playing war with weeping willow whips,
garbage can lids and sneaking over to the Belguik side. I now live in
Alliston, Ontario, married 32 years, mother of 3 girls and grandmother of 2
and another on the way. Would like to hear from anyone who may remember me.

Hello Spent just about 11
years in the Soest area. It was home for the family, got married to a great
German girl and still happy after 47 years. We had one son born there and a
daughter spending early years in the area. We were so long in Germany that we
all spoke German like the natives. Everything about the posting was great
except in 1957 it started raining and didn't stop until 1962. We still go
back about every five years or so to visit with friends and relatives. It had
a big impact on my life and I am fortunate to have served in such a great
part of the world. Someone should get a 4 CMBG/CFB Soest reunion going, I for
one will attend. |

We served in Soest in 1983-1985
on exchange with BAOR. I met many Germans who had fond memories of the
Canadians, and a few Canadians who had remained in the area after the
Canaidans left. I would enjoy hearing from anyone who has served in the area.
It was a great posting. |

Must say that my wife Marlene
and I are enjoying this site. The best years of my career were spent in
Germany. We hated to leave and were not fortunate enough to get back there.
Friends that we made while there are still friends that we keep in touch with.
Military life was great. We worked hard and played hard. Enjoyed every minute
of it. The Military was one big family in those days. |

This is a great site! Kudos to
the folks who put it together. It sure was fun to go through the photos and
be reminded of how young we were. The equipment, (or lack there-of), we had
in those days was really something. Seeing those bivies made out of ponchos
and covered with snow brought back a lot of not-so-fond memories. As a
vehicle tech, we had to crawl around in the mud under those old trucks,
keeping them going, night or day! Boy, was that fun! sic! I'd love to hear
from any of my old buddies who happen to see this posting. Perhaps I'll see
some of you in London, Ontario this summer! |

What a great site to see. Thanks
Bob Whitehead for leading me to this wonderful memory lane. I hope someone
knows where Bev White or Peggy Morin may be. We played a lot of baseball and
hung around together. If you remember me send an Email, love to hear from
you. Never knew about the reunions. If I did I would have been there. Darn!! |

I was still living at home with
my parents from age 13 - 16, and have memories that will never be forgotten.
My father was Sgt. Cook, S.S. R.C.E.M.E. SF59110. He was Corporal at that
time though. I am in three of the group pictures in the yearbook, and my
sister in in the High School one in 1960. I have really enjoyed this website. |

Eine gelungene Website ! Die
vielen alten Fotos erinnern mich an meine Kindheit. Zu dem Zeitpunkt (1959)
war ich 6 Jahre. Etwa 10 Jahre später fuhr ich von Iserlohn nach Hemer /
Deilinghofen zu Eishockey. Scöne Zeit ! Herzliche Grüße aus "Good Old Germany"

Harry Elliott was kind enough to

looked at some of the pictures from Soest from those many years ago. |

Hi I loved my stay in Lahr! I
was in Germany twice before that, but don't really remember any of those
visits. My dad commanded 4CMBG, and we lived in a German Neighbourhood, not
in the PMQ's. I attended grade 5&6. I lived near Area 2, and used to ride
my bike to the trasenbahd swimming pool in the Summer. I probably spelled
that wrong!We were near the Stahd park too! We used to walk to area 2 to hang
out with the kids from there. I remember Jeannie Lawrence! |

Excellent website. We share an
interesting culture as the Cold War Canadian kids of the Ruhr through the
Berlin Wall construction and the Cuban Missile crisis. The global community
is getting closer and our history more condensed. Harry |

My Father was the Protestant
chaplain at Ft. York and Ft. Chamblay at the time. We lived in the Soest
PMQs. My two sisters, Marilyn and Ainslee, and my brother, Ian, all have
wonderful memories of those years. We loved the Christmas Eve services with
the choir descending the outside of the onion tower and the fun fair rides. I
used to go and visit a horse that lived in the fields nearby. Does anyone
else remember older German men shaking their fists at us when we walked by
and they would sometimes yell at us? I would particularly like to hear from
Mary Desjardins who was in my Grade 7 class in 1960-1961 and later moved to
Ottawa and went to the same school (Bell High School) as I did from
1962-1963. This is a wonderful site. Thank you. |

I was just mentioning to a
correspondent (a former Werl guy) that, even still, what brings back the
feeling of Christmas for me is remembering all the church bells in Soest
pealing, filling the air downtown with the sound of bells, the snow falling
softly and blanketing the old inner city so that it looked like a fairy tale
town, attending the Weihnachten Fair and smell of chestnuts and sweets in the
air, and of going down to the square by the Petri Kirche (the Lutheran church
across from the Cathedral) Christmas Eve to watch and listen as the church
choir made their way down from the top of the onion spire, holding candles,
and singing In Excelsis Gloria as the snow gently wafted down. Now THAT was
Christmas!! Merry Christmas everyone, Frohliche Weihnacht, und Grusse fuer
die Neue Jahr!! |

We were one of the first familys
that went to Werl with the Royal Canadian Engineers from Chilliwack, BC. Our
first school was a regular german school for a few months, which did`nt work
as we could not speak german, and the teachers did not speak english. Our
next school was on base next to the vandoo mess, our teacher was the base
commanders daughter. At that time we lived of base in town before PMQ`S were
built, when was the school first opened / please let me know if you can as I
was only six or seven at the time . |

I signed the guest book a few
years back but have changed my Email since . I remember some names
posted on here and hope to find others . Used to play guitar at the high
school gym and back of the teen hut with some fellows . Rick Thoms taught me
my first guitar lessons although he was the drummer in the Charlie Brown
blues band . Lots of great memories
that had a good effect on most of us . Looking to contact Al Crowe who
was a medic and wolf cub leader in and around the same years I was there . |

previously signed the guest book

Great website. I truly enjoyed
looking at all the old pictures and trying for the life of me to remember, or
should I say reognize any of the faces. I remember when the RCR marched
through Soest. They wanted their ranks to be pure, so those of us who were
attached to the regiment were excluded from parade, and were able to watch
the parade and take pictures from the side lines. The same was with the visit
of the Queen. I remember attempting to join the Regimental Ski Team. Willy
Rushorn was the team leader. He'd takes us into the hills and lay out old
tires on the side of these steep hills and we'd have to run up and down the
hills not only around the trees, but also around the old tires. Ultimately we
went to Austria and there I ended up braking a set of skis. Cpl. Rushorn gave
me his "Heads" and he bought a new set. There was an officer on the
team to, and being I was not any more skilled than he, when they it came down
to the cut, and being I was a Sig's type and not pure RCR, and not because he
out ranked me, he got the nod. |

Great site - well done - us
Brits were really happy with the high standard of ex Canadian Barracks.
Enjoyed my time there but did not spend much time in the camp. We were always
at Soltau, Sennelager or in Northern Ireland. Shame to see it all over grown

Best years of my life were these
three years spent with what I consider the best troops the Can. Army
produced. Not only were we excellent in what we were expected to do but we
always carried out our military tasks with a sense of humour and 'elan. We might
not have been the best educated of troops but there was nothing wrong with
our thinking process we could out think the best. Whatever happen to spr
Seymour from Thunderbay? |

I have many fantastic memories
of my time in Germany. They will last a lfetime. School friends,Saturday
trips to many amazing places from historic castles to lots of great cities
and towns, the Mohne Zee and dam, and of course the Deutchefolke young and old....so
many incredible adventures for a young boy. I loved Germany then and still
do. I have returned for a visit and work and would do it again at a moments
notice. My son has lived and worked there as well and agrees. The best of the
old world and new! |

A message from Ed Hood triggered
my search for the Hemer site. I know I found it the last time Ed sent out an
e-mail and even found some class photos. Yikes. I remember playing guitar at
sock hops or some other occasions. Jon Mcgrath played trumpet and Gerry, I
think, had an electric guitar. I also played serious accordion in the
Iserlohner Accordion Orchester (spelling?) with my accordion teacher, Gerry
(nah too many Gerrys). I'm having a seniors moment. Retired now after
33 years in the Gov't poking at computers. Play banjo and other strings for
fun and benefit concerts. ca.geocities.com/one_big_smyle/ |

I was thrilled to happen upon
this website! There are photos from some of my earliest memories as my father
was a serving officer and my Mother tells me we were of the first Canadian
families to be stationed in Germany after WWII. My father was Andrew Greskiw.
He passed away in 1961 so any information of this time in Germany would be
interesting to me. |

Over the last few months I have
been busy searching out websites for the various cities, towns, villages, and
areas so many of us lived in while our families were stationed in the old
brigade area...I've amassed quite a collection of photos! During that process
I have also managed to start correspondences with a few "locals"
who have responded to my various guestbook entries, which is great. One
fellow I've recently started corresponding with lives in Menden but grew up
in Hemer and Iserlohn area. He has told me the old Hemer PMQs are now
civilian housing, which I knew, and mostly what he calls
"Volga-Germans" -- Russians and other East European immigrants who
are ethnically German and who immigrated to the west after reunification. He
served in the Bundeswehr, as a paratrooper I believe, stationed in what used
to be Fort Beausejour, later Winkelmann Kaserne. It is now closed (1992) and
will soon be converted, from what I can gather, into an exhibition ground for
garden shows and such...quite a big deal for Hemer. For those interested, the
Bluecher Kaserne (Bundeswehr) is the old Fort Qu'Appelle in Iserlohn and it
has since been converted to condominiums. Fort Prince of Wales in
Deilinghofen-Apricke has reverted back to Deilinghofen and parts of it are
used by the town of Deilinghofen -- the ice rink, the old cinema, etc. while
other parts have been converted to light industrial and IT offices. Some
parts of the old forts here are off limits still. |

I am really pleased to see
Ruetiger Lenk posted to this site! He was, apparently, living in the
Glaerbach blocks in Helle-Balve, across from the Balve Hoehle, at the same
time I was and, after discovering his site, he and I have corresponded a bit.
He is very familiar with the area around Balve and the Hoennetal and, as he
wrote, his hobby is the rail system, especially the one along the Hoennetal
from Neuenrade, through Balve, to Menden (aka The Little Red Devil). His site
is definitely worth checking out! |

Hello, Iwas not a member of the
canadien arme in Germany. I live in Balve. Iget knowledge of your site from
Stephen Lock. From 1959 to 1963 I was born 1953 and lived with my parents in
the Glärbach Valley. There were two large houses that belonged to my Grandfather,
Heinrich Wüstenberg. In the first haouse lived about 25 families of canadien
soldiers, in the second house German families(Müller, Mertens, Brock, Lenk,
Hergotzik, Becher, Walter etc) The children, canadien as german played
together. There was no difficut because we spoke german and the canadien
children spoke english. We had our own language. A mixture of english german
an Signs. Your page is super. I studied ist very interested an d many
memories come back. In my time in Glärbach I always played with a canadien
boy, I think his prename was Ricky. He called my amigo. But 1963 my
Grandfather dies an we moved to Hönnetalstraße. In that Year i was sent to a
high School by Hagen, and so i lost the contact to Ricky. In that time he was
a very good friend. Perhaps someone reads this entry, knows the man who lived
to that time in the Glärbach valley and con give my his adress. On my Site i
have many pictures of Balve, Beckum, Mellen an a report with many pictures of
the Hönnetalbahn. You called ist "The red devil". with kindly
regards from Balve, am´nd best wishes to all who knows Balve - Glärbach

I'm wondering if anyone
remembers a 40ish Infantry officer Ed Lafleur, with the RCR or Vandoos. he
left in 1956 back to Valcartier and then to the Citadel where he retired in
1965. he passed away in 1983. but his widow, Demerise Lafleur (Dempsie),
lives in a nursing home in Kitchener, Ont., and three of his four kids live
in Ontario. the other, me, lives in Courtenay, BC, where i was posted by the
CAF in 1974, and took my release from the Regular Force in 1978 and from C
Class Reserve in 1980. |

Pat and I had some wonderful

had with the 4CIBG and Lahr Motor sports Club in which we were quite active.
This is a great site,I hope to be able to contribute some photos to the album

May I take this opportunity to
wish all vistors to this web site a Happy Easter. My personal thankyou
to the Webmaster of Ruhr Memories. You have worked very hard on our behalf on
this site. We all thank you. Are there any Scouters from Hemer or Werl
area from l959 to 1968. Please mail me that colour of your neckerchief you
wore and what badge did you wear on the back of the neckerchief. What did the
should flashes look like. I was a Scoutmaster with Soest 1st Troop. The best
in Ruhr valley. Just my personal opinion. |

Great site, brings back many

You have done a splendid job
with the 4 CIBG pages. Brings back a lot of memories after almost 40 years. I
was also a member of CAE (66-69) and the Beaver newspaper (66-69) and was one
of four members of CAE who attended 68 Olymoic Winter Games in Grenoble on
behalf of CAC and the Beaver. The others were Camy Mckay, Rose arie Cook
and P.J Cook. Take care and keep in touch |

Sorry hit the wrong button when
I signed onto the guest book. My brother sent us this page and its
delightful. Lots of memories from those 3 years - The Centennial Club and
that great band and singer - went to a lot of dances there. Meeting good
friends - losing some - Those three years we were there were the
best.....lots of hard work but lots of fun. I worked in the SSM Orderly Room
- Ed Buszek - Rick Newell - Sgt Declare as the 'boss' - Commanding Officer
Jack Crosman - Capt van Aggelen as the 2IC.... Hope everyone is well... John

Great idea .....enjoyed the
pictures on the site. Germany was for me the best posting of my short(11
years) Army career. Came in as an
Apprentice RCASC (1954) CATS, Valcartier Camp. The Apprentice brotherhood
still strong after all those years and the days in Germany with the gang is
part of all the wonderful souvenirs. Thanks Canada for the opportunity! |

For those interested -- the old
PMQs in Soest (and I assume in Werl and Hemer) have reverted to German
civilian housing. On one site I found, some of the old Soest PMQs have gone
condo and are selling in the area of 85,000Euros. Others are rentals averaging
about 465Euros per month. I am not familiar with the conversion rates
at all, or how the Euros compare to the old Deutsch Mark, but a medieval
half-timbered house in the old city of Soest is going for between 90,000 and
220,000 Euros, so I assume our old PMQs are a helluva deal. |

Since discovering this site a
couple of months ago, I have gone on a flurry of web searches for Soest and
Hemer, including sites that are British Brat sites since I was in
Iserlohn/Hemer after the Canadians pulled out and the Brits moved in (and who
stayed until 1992, beating "our" stay by 4 years). I have had a
wonderful time looking at various sites that show what is going on in these
cities now (shutzenfests, marathon races, youth events, walking tours, fire
department demos, street fairs, and -- of course -- Kirmes in Soest). I have
started corresponding not only with people I knew back then (Canadian brats
as well as British brats), but also with strangers who have posted items to
various sites. Thank The Deity for Google!! |

Great site - glad to have found
it. Often think back about what a weird and wonderful place this was for a
kid growing up. Sometimes wonder whatever happened to a pretty tight little
group of guys - the "Galaxy Gang" I believe we called ourselves
(space travel was big back then) - Mark Eldridge, Scott Adams, Richard
Mayhew, Pierre Desjardins - hope I haven't left out names, and spelling might
be off. John Dorsey |

Our stay in Hemer will always be
a memorable part of my life - what a pleasant suprise to see I'm not the only
one who felt this way. This is a marvelous web site. I've come across many
familiar names that have jogged my memory and caused "feelings of great
nostalgia". I'm married, have 2 sons and a sweet little granddaughter
and live just outside of Regina SK. I would love to hear about the last 44
years of some of my old buddies! |

Hmmm...in reading the entries I
noticed Gord Grant on page 2 (Who I remember, actually...Hi Gord) mentioned
HIS dad closed the Brigade area out and that THEY were the last family in the
Brigade area...nope, the Locks were!! (circa 1971-72) although I do remember
Gord was the last kid to go to Lahr, as I recall. My Dad worked out of
Wittke (near Essen), I think it was called, attached to British Army and we
lived in Iserlohn (on Am Tyrol, just down the hill a bit from the old
Brigadier's mansion, which by then was abandoned and falling apart, sad to
say). |

Like many of us, I have fond
memories of my time in Germany, especially the second tour (Hey, I was 15,
16, 17, and 18!!) and especially of my time in Soest, a city I still carry a
soft spot for. I was the last Canadian kid in the old Brigade area (1972-73)as
my dad, WO Victor Lock, along with 2 other fellas, closed out the Brigade
area after everyone rotated back to Canada or to Lahr and Baden-Baden. During
this time I attended the British Comprehensive School in Dortmund and was a
prefect (big whoop!). We lived in Iserlohn at that time and I spent
considerable time moped-ing into Hemer to hang with the British kids at our
old Teen Hut (and a few gasthofs). I returned to Germany in 1973 (I didn't
want to leave to begin with) and worked in Soest as a construction assistant
of a resort hotel at Mohnesee. I returned to Calgary in 1974 and have been
here ever since. I recently started searching again for sites about Soest and
Hemer. Found several about Soest but noticed of them mention the Canadian
presence...this is the first site I found that covers that. THANKS -- it was
great seeing all 'the kids' again!! |

Well in 1971 my sister Kate (aka
Giesela) Andrews was attending Soest Senior School in Grade 12a. I looked at
the year book photos of her and remember Debby Finney. Well I had two school
kid friends named Dale (Sody?) and Charles. Never did see any of them again.
My father was 'Snap' Andy Andrews and we lived on the Kanadierweg. Gloria
Gourlay and Giesela used to hang around the teen hut. I knew her brother
years later in Lahr. Honestly, I don't what to say. Being an outsider has
meant that I never had contact with anyone of those days again. Cheers to
anyone else who remembers that stuff. Those were very good days anyway. Lahr
was rather disappointing, but time flies when you have real fun |

Superb! My thanks to Harry Rice

What a great site! It sure
brings back a lot of memories, exploring the caves (Heinrichshohle) wandering
in the Felsenmeer. Because I speak German I would take my friends into Hemer
to visit a certain toy store where we could purchase military vehicles (roco
minitanks). So many school trips, so many summer school trips museums,
galleries, castles, no wonder I became an artist! ...-) |

Thanks for the revival of some
pleasant memories. Most of all my photos were lost over the years. I have one
of a group in the restaurant by the school, and a group of girls outside the
SallyAnn. I worked after school on a beer/softdrink delivery truck. (Bad
Sassendorf Brewery) also Dortmunder Union for a while People put their
picture of a dog logo in their window, and we came up, and took their order.
Also worked in MLS Store for a brief Time. regards, Larry Perkins |

Note… A small group of us,
including, Elmer Kurtz, Mike Whelan, Gary Hicks, Mike Deane, and myself are
trying to plan a reunion for '07, which would be a 40 year
reunion--especially for the Centennial Choir, which was part of our
celebration for Canada's 100th B-Day. Any help in finding the members of that
choir, and other students in the years-1966-1969 who attended Ft. Chambly Jr.
School, would be appreciated. Thanks, Floyd Stanley. |

This site and the Baden site
bring back a lot of memories.Just returned from a small get together with a
few folks from the late Sixties and early Seventies period.We had a great
time and it seemed as if we had just parted ways yesterday.Drank lots of beer
and swapped lots of tales. Kudos to all of you who make these sites happen. I
appreciate all the work you do towards the upkeep and maintainence of them. |

In my career I have spent a
total of 8 years in Germany. My fondess memories were the years I spent in
3RCHA and 1SSM Bty. Some of you may remeember my BSM and TSM in 3RCHA WO2
Screaton and WO2 Brown. They were hard but I believe many years later we
all had a great deal of respect for these type of soldiers. I cant explain
how I felt to be able to turn back the past. It is a shame that the forts and
places we all lived have changed so much. What bothers mw is the forts we
kept in such great condition are not military any longer. Thanks so much to
the people who put the efforts in this site to preserve our memories. Gnr

What a surprise to see all of
the faces around the time that I was in Hemer. I have seen a lot of faces
that I would like to make contact with: Linda Crowder, Sally Butt, Yvonne
Gilbert, Wayne Leckie, Wendy & her borther Larry Dawe, Mary's Garneau (I
know the spelling if incorrect). I have been to Canada on a number of
occassions and loved it so much I bought some land next to Cliff and Joan
Mackay's place out near Picton, not far from the RCAF Base at Trenton.
Anyway, enough "prattling on", anyone who remebers me, please Email
me. I have a lot of photo's which I will put up on this site.......bye for

Hi, Everyone! I hope you are all
well and making the best of life. It's been a while since I checked in and I
just wanted to let you know that all is well with the McTaggart family. Both
Mom & Dad are good as are Mike & I. The family has grown with the
addition of 3 babies over the last 3 years. I still keep in close contact
with Chris Phenghannsl, Dave Fidler, Julee Fidler, & Carolyn Stone.
Unfortunately, our group suffered a devastating loss this Spring with the
passing of Debbie Little. If we ever find a cure for Cancer, it sure won't be
soon enough for me! |

Thanx to Grant Clarke who was
our neighbour, we had a wonderful place to live as we started our married
life. We "tramped" our way around Europe with a tent and our Fiat
850 sports coupe and Kharmann convertible. Increment C was the group that was
left behind on bugouts as we were the ones who were to distroy the base and
remaining equipment if the real thing happened. Met a lot of good soldiers
and good men on that tour(66-68). This is a great site. |

My yearbooks have molded in my

believe I still remembered all the names of my classmates and many teachers
even though we only knew each other for one or two years. Often wondered what
happened to them. I returned to Edmonton where I went to U of A and earned a
Master's degree in Zoology. Have been a School Board Trustee in Richmond BC
for 16 years, married and have three children. |

Was joy to see this site,found
it throught Shilobrats,I was surprised to see your history does not start
back in 1954. I believe that was when the first rotation for my father
started.Actually he was there in 1953 and family a year later.We came from
Calgary Alta. and travelled by train and ocean liner,took us almost two weeks
to get there.What a trip and what a surprise when we got there NO PMQs no
School,so we lived on a farm for almost 5 months and went to school on the
army base in Hemer.Finally housing was available and the school was
finished.Brings back some great memories for me I was 9 years old at the
time. Thank you Tom Powell |

I come back often checking for

not 4 RCHA as probably most of you knew. Would like to hear from Mike Juneau,

Good site, informative, BUT some
of the dates are wrong,for example, two photos shows the Freedom of the City
parade, Iserlhon, being dated to 1970, that occured in 1964 or 65, with the
FGH (check the badges). I was there. LdSH were there in 70, I was there too
but do not remember such parade. Keep up the good work. Red |

Served 17 years + in Germany.
Met my wife at BMH Iserlohn. We have been married 43 years this September. We
have two daughters and four granddaughters. Our eldest daughter married her
German boyfriend and she lives in Schuttern. They run a "Gartnerei"
(gardening business)....across from the Church in Schuttern. We now live in
Kingston, Ontario. The best fresh water sailing in the world!!! We love to
sail and enjoy our retirement. We visit Germany at least once a year. Lahr is
still a very vibrant town... the Airfield has many new businesses. The
Caserne is another matter...it looks derelict...weeds are growing up through
the tarmac...the windows of the Canex offices are broken...the whole place is
a mess. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who knew me!!! Gary. |

Good times, great memories, and
wonderful years to be part of 4 CIBG in Germany with RCEME and the Canadian
Army prior to unification. Met some awesome people and had lots of fun
running around Soest and much of north-west Europe with my little Alfa Romeo
Spyder and close friends. Much time spent on Bug-Outs, and good
memories from the work-related side while on maneuvers in Senelager, Saltau,
and other parts of the Black Forest area. Cheers. |

My years in Soest were the best,
I still have very strong memories of my school days, sports I played
(volleyball and basketball)and of the lovely trips we took when Dad got
leave. I would like to say hi to Chris Kippan (nee O'Donnell) and her dad,
Doug O' Donnell (in B.C.). Doug, also in the RCOC, served with my dad, Brian
Brady at Fort Chambly. Chris and I never lost contact and her friendship is
one that I value highly as the years have passed. Talk to you on the net soon
Chris, Nancy |

Greetings All! I think I am one
of the luckiest members of the Canadian Forces, having been able to serve a
total of 14 years in Europe. I spoke the language, therefore I was a
commodity sought after. I am now retired in the Comox Valley in BC. Cheers |

It's been a few months since I
checked out this site and after another look, here's a few of my impressions
as a 6 year old kid. It didn't take long after arriving for me to start
checking things out. Castles on hills, houses that looked like you could eat
them, little red trains zipping around, buses with trailers, gliders silently
whipping through the sky, hot air balloons of all shapes and sizes including
zeppelins suddenly appearing in the sky looking like they'll be there forever
and before you know it they're gone, a forest next door with plush meadows
and water shooting out of the ground. For a kid from rural Manitoba this
place was a positive fairyland. There was a candy machine on the wall of a
building down the hill on Zeppelinstrasse, open 24 hours and better candy
than I'd ever had before, well...except for that awful salt licorice, man
that stuff was gross. I soon met friends and started doing stuff, before
discovering the shortcut through the Felsemeer we'd hang around the corner of
Zeppelinstrasse and Berlinerstrasse. Eventually an army truck would come
along and stop at the stop sign, that's when we'd all jump in the back and
swipe a ride out to the camp to go to the movies. Usually that's where they
were going but after a couple of my buddys ended up in Iserlohn one day we
discovered the Felsemeer, there was two or three ways through there and I
knew them all pretty good after a while. I had a scooter and used to trip
around all over the place. I also remember roller skating down the hill on
Memelerstrasse and scooting down Zepplenstrasse in a street cart I bought off
Paul Ferris. I'd take my dog for walks in the woods, there's a pic on the
sight somewhere of the crossroads leading into the woods and we'd go to the
first valley and I'd let her run around, one time when my Dad came with us he
wanted to go up the winding road but half way up the pooch discovered the
farm by the road and was soon doing it's K9 duty of chasing chickens, 3 hours
later with my Dad's wallet a lot lighter our walk was over. In one of the
overhead shots on the site I see ther's a building on Memelerstrasse that
wasn't there when I lived there, that was the field where we'd fire off our
water rockets. Once a year the fair would come and set up on a hill on the
other side of Hemer, if you looked straight down Memelerstrasse you could see
it in the distance, when you saw them setting up you'd block that couple of
weeks off on your kid's calender "THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN!!!!) Now that
I've taken up a good part of the page in the guestbook, I'll say goodnight. |

Like Bob Hope, I would like to
say "thanks for the memories". I was scanning the school pictures
and had a smile that wouldn't stop. In fact some of the same people live and
work in the same area here. I'm going to have fun with this site come Monday.
Oh to be young for those few moments. Thanks again. |

It is with great sadness that I
see the state of Fort St Louis in its ruin and I remember the days of its
shiny, proud state under the rule of Canada's Black Watch. I often thought
that it was ironic that in the years following the move south to Lahr that
our parent Regiment The Black Watch (RHR) were housed in Fort St Louis but
renamed by the British Army after a battle honour from the Iberian Pennisular
War with Napolean. I guess it is true that must not return because it is
never the same. Nemo Me Impune Lacessit. Bob Burns. |

Arrived in Germany at 18 years
of age in 1957 green as they come right out of the Ottawa Valley. Departed in
1971 as one of the last to close out 4 CMBG, in fact Tom Murchison BGen
Gardner and Howie Pierce pulled the flag down for the last time. A tear rolled
down my face thinking of all those years and the memories. If Canadians only
knew how many of her lads grew up in this place we called home for so long.
Yes some of my buddies didn,t make it back home, but I can still see them for
they never grow old. I can recall a New Years night standing guard at a TDM
dump, guarding ammo in the rain and thinking to myself what to Hell am I
doing here. I must have liked it because I kept comming back. |

Greeting to all my friends I
servwed with during these years...I played a little hockey whlle
serving...goal tender for the "Huskies" of the north, still the
best team to come out of Germeny....I am a bit biased...I revisited the area
in 2003 when my wife June and I packed packed around 18 countries in
Europe...things were different for sure...visited the bars and hangouts of
Soest, Dortmund, Werl, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and a ton more..I might add
June was not overly impressed with where we as young soldiers spent our
time....did a photo shoot of Fort Chambly and of course the "arena"
"HOME OF THE HUSKIES" brought back some very fond
memories...despite the fact I did more than 220 day on "confinement to
barracks while in Chambly...to all who remember the "GOOD OLD
DAYS"....Take Care...Go Huskies Go...God Bless... Donnie Cappler, Barrie

What a wonderful site! Brings
back so many memories seeing photos and names of people I knew or recognized.
I now live in England have done for many years. Retired with grandchildren.
I'm still in touch with several friends made in Soest,and even with an old
german boyfriend Harald,who moved to Canada in 1960/61. I do plan on a visit
to Soest it wouldn't be a long journey for me at all. I live in Dover and the
ferries sail every day to Belguim and France. Of course a plane would be much
quicker! The Soest Tourism Office offer some very reasonable long weekend
packages. I send my regards to you all. Cheers! |

Hi: It was nice to see some old
pictures of Fort Qupelle. Those were the days. I remember being at Go-Cart
races on that parade Square the day my oldest son was born. Oct 4 1969, Of
course in the BMH Hospital nearby. I named my son Tony after a good friend of
mine Tony Holden I think we had a few beers together. I currently live in
Edmonton Alberta you are welcome to drop by for a visit if you are in the
area. I would like to meet anybody from those days. |

Some of the people I remember
are the O'Quinn family, the Hoffman family the Meloches, the States, the
Davidsons and the Hilliers, the Bells and the Peacocks.I can remember the
P.M.Q. on Danzige Strasse. I can remember the articulated buses that would take
us to church on Sunday mornings.I remember going to Dortmund(I think) to the
sportsplatz for Dominion Day.I remember hitting Peter Meloche in the side of
the head with a centurion tank dinky toy because he said that the P.P.C.L.I.
was better than the artillery and I knew that was wrong as my Dad was 4
R.C.H.A. Anybody out there wants to swap lies or memories drop a

Whoever set this site up ought
to be awarded the Honour Medal 1st class of the oscillating udder (Bruno's
Gasthof-better known as Hilda's)where many a brew was quaffed by many
Engineers whose primary purpose was to drink Germany dry. Damn...we almost
did it too. My regards to my many friends and compatriots with whom I spent
many a happy time just being there. I didn't enjoy the 9 months we spent out
in the field the first year we were there. That was a bit much. |

My Dad was in the Black Watch.
We did not live in the PMQ's we were on Economy as they called it then. My
first day at school an army truck pick me up at my home. Drove to school then
forgot to pick me up after school. So I remember going over to the MP shack
to tell them I was lost. I just opened my bookbag with my address on it.
Couldn't say those words for the life of me(at that time)So They drove me
home in a MP jeep. Got to our village and past my Mom running up and down the
street franticly looking for me. Remember, we couldn't speak the language, we
had no phones, no car(at the time)Dad wasn't home she was all alone. I
remember telling them" there's my Mom"!! but they wouldn't stop.
See saw me cause I was waving and yelling at her. She finally ended up at the
house. All out of breath. I remember her yelling at the guys, "why
didn't you STOP" "Sorry we had to deliver her straight to her
home." I'm in the picture on your introduction page after you hit the
Werl school button. When I got in and was looking around I said gee that girl
in the front row looks familiar not noticing myself until I realized it was
my class picture. Had such a great childhood in Germany. This has brought
back lots of wonderful memories. Thanks. I still write to the family whom we
rented from in Wickede. We did alot of travelling while in Germany and also
after. We visited the Strieder Family many time and stayed in our old
apartment on a couple of our trips back. It was our BEST posting. Now a
family by the name of Scott moved into Wickede 2 doors up from us. They
rented from the Coal-man who had a long haired daushound dog called Dixie. If
you read this letter Kathy please write. Anyone else from the picture please
write can't name you all a in this letter but do remember some of your names.
Who sent in the class picture? Thanks!! As Always Cathy |

I don't know if it's cool to
send more than one message to this book but I've been very excited about
finding this website, I was six years old when I got to Germany and a kid's
take on the whole thing is quite different. I think it would be great if some
people would share their adventures, I know as a kid, I have a few tales to
tell. I may be able to dig up a couple of old photos too. Thanks Alan
Basaraba for your pictures, there's a shot of the building I lived in. Paul
Ferris' apartment is in that shot too. Did anybody else ever fire off water
rockets behind the MLS? |

I lived in Hemer from 1957 to
1960 at 58 Zepplinstrasse. I attended grades 1-3 at Hemer School.(age 7-9 My
Dad was in the R.C.H.A. I vaguely remember some of my friends while there.
Danny Woodbury, Kenneth? Ernie? Robbie Payne. Sharon, the girl that always
stole my scooter, Paul Ferris My mother ran the teenage dances at the school
on Friday nights. I was attacked by some of the German kids from the
orphanage on my way there to scrounge some chocolate bars one night and was
saved by my German Shepherd. I have many fond memories of Germany, I
especially liked the area between the town and the base near the glider strip
with all the caves and holes in the ground, my friends and I were always
finding WW2 stuff there. In 59 me and another guy (Patrick I think) landed in
jail in the German part of town for doing something stupid and caused major
grief for our parents and the MP's. Mr Gibson who was a teacher at the school
ended up being one of my teachers in grade 8 at Deer Park school in Toronto |

Hello. I have found this site by
error. Imagine - this is such a pleasure! I have been back to Germany many,
many times and I always go back to my memories in this area. The streets have
been renamed now and the street #'s are now also different. I am a TRUE
military brat. I have wonderful memories and am so very fortunate to have
lived in Hemer. I started my travelling then in 1955 and have been travelling
ever since. I stay in Hemer and also in Iserlohn when I go back regularly.
Write me if you know me. We had a piano in our PMQ. They loaded it in on a
crane thru the living room balcony!! Regards,(Tish) Mack (ps. I'm 59 now) |

Came upon this site by chance
and what a trip down memory lane. Although it will not be the same I am
definitely going to make a trip in the not too distant future back to Soest.
Played hockey for the Kline Huskies and have fond memories of the Teen club
and of course some of the local watering holes. Can't believe its been almost
40 years since leaving there. Time sure flies when having fun, If there is
anyone out there that remembers me and wants to contact me feel free to do
so. Would love to hear from people from the past |

It has been an amazing journey
through pictures and to see the names in print of people that I came in
contact with so many years ago. It certainly was a different era. I have been
married since 1964(to the same man:), we have two daughters and 4
grandchildren. Life has certainly been an adventure,and I often wonder
what has happened to the people I once knew. Thanks again, for a chance to
wander down memory lane. Marilyn King, Victoria, B.C. |

Your site brought back a lot of

Hi, my name is Robyn Nuttall, I
am looking for an old friend of my Mom's, DEBORAH (Debbie) WOODLAND
('65-'69?). Debbie's father's name was Bill Woodland, and I think he was a
Cpl in the RCR. Bill had 3 daughters, of whom Debbie was the eldest. (Mom
also mentioned something about them having a bird of some sort lol) Any
information about Debbie or Bill would be GREATLY appreciated! I have been
looking for her for quite some time! Thank you! |

This site has brought back so

there. I was attached out with 2RCR shortly after the posting to Fort Henry.
Didn't like that too much at first, but with time it was great. Seems so long
ago. Thanks for setting up such a great site. |

Just want to say how much my
wife and I enjoyed our 3 years in Germany.Being a new unit (SSM BTY) we were
away from home a great deal of the time,therefore making it difficult for our
family's. but we persevered and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.It was made much
easier because of the great people that we had in the unit.We did some
travelling and I was lucky enough to be sent on course to England,so did some
travelling there as well. |

What a great 4 years, I ran the
main switchboard(Korbecke Military) in Fort Henry. Seen the closure of all
Forts until we finally were only one in Fort Chambly and was on the second
last flight out on July 07,1971. Learned to sail on the Mohnee See with the
Brit Sailing Club. I coached kids hockey and girls softball and my wife Karen
was one of the star pitchers in the ladies league. Children Kelly & Tim
still have fond memories of Soest and especially of some of our German
friends. Thanks to all for a great experience--- The Murphy Family |

to the Correctional Services Canada. As fate would have it we were living 6
km apart, me in agassiz and darrell in rosedale, b.c. We just met two months
ago at the legion in agassiz. quite a reunion. this site has brought back a
lot of good memories and i have some of the same pictures.hope to hear from
some old friends. |

It was a riot looking at
everyone in 10B from 1968/69 including myself. I really enjoyed seeing Debra
& Rachael McQueen (Grade 11) who were my best buddies and taught me how
to dance (especially how to bend my knees)! Great site! |

Hello Friends, I hosted a
student for 1999-2000 from Arnsburg and returned to Germany and a visit to
Werl in 2001.Some of the PMQ's have been torn down but look much the same and
are used for low income housing. The school has elementary still in it and the
town has grown to include Wickede and the surroundings.Fort St.Louis and St.
Anne are being allowed to crumble into a historic forest site while Fort
Henry has an industrial use.The swans are still in the Park and the town has
agreed to look after the graves of Canadians for another 50 years.Germany is
very multinational now, some places were like Toronto for culture. It was a
great experience hope others will go back. |

Age 8 to 11 years in W. Germany.
I remember my 90 minute school bus rides the most. Big green military buses
took me past the beautful Mohnesee Dam each day to Fort Chambly School. Also
no TV for 3 years but that didn't seem to matter as we could make our own
fun. Enjoyed the local village festivals too. The German people were
excellent hosts. Thank you! |

What fun to go through the old

was fortunate enough to go back and teach in Lahr for three years, an
incredible experience from the other side of the desk. It would be great to

Hello All!, What an excellent
site. The reunion looks like you all had an awesome time. So good to see all
the familiar faces, and the memories of our tour in the Ruhr. Hopefully, some
of us can connect through Email, and who know, what can happen from there.
Hope this finds you all happy and healthy in your lives. Take good care. I am
currently a Director of Child and Family Service Programs for Boys' &
Girls' Clubs of Edmonton. A registered social worker, psych background, and
certification in child and youth care. Exciting work with 'at risk' children
& youth. Life is good in the fifties! "Everywhere you go,

Trying to track down the boys of
the Trp. Such as McLeod, Monks Bower,Conrad to name a few. Already found
Trapper here who I haven't seen or heard from since we got back to Canada. I
have some pictures taken in the Ranch House in Dielinghofen that I will
forward to anyone interested. And a big hello and thank you for putting up
with us and showing us such a good time to any German Nationals that might
tune in. |

The best years of my childhood,
by far. I remember David Bell, the Turples and the Popoffs, Dave Hoar and the
Melnicks, J.P. Galipeau. Paul Mott of CFRB was also there at the time. I was
also very much in love with Ms. Eicholz in grade 5. |

It was great to see all the old
haunts again. I'm in SSS yearbook 67-68 in 7a. Would love to hear from anyone
in that class, especially Maureen McDowell. My Dad's name was Jean Jacques
(Jack) a CPL. Mrs. Simmons taught me to draw. I've never forgotten. I was
also part of the 1967 Centennial Choir. We travelled to a recital and it was
made into a record LP. Would love to hear from anyone who knows me or my
parents. |

Very good pictures. Would anuone
have any pictures of the Catholic School during the year 1962. I had 2
daughters attending at this time. Also would anyone recall Jim McNeilly (Wife
Margaret) also in Werl at this period.They are God-Parensts to my Youngest
daughter who was born in BMH Iserlohn on Nov 24 1961. The McNeillys are her
God-Parents. Would Love to track them down. Also anyone else who was there
during this period. I was a L Cpl in the Orderly Room. The boss was Sgt
Malinsky. |

My B.S.M. was Sargent Major Sam
Whitt, and my Troop Sargent Major was Sargent Major Bill Conway. I can't
remember most of the bars that I frequented with my friends Walter Fowler,
Monks, Christenson, Staabe, Arolouto Bdr. Stacey, to name a few. I remember
the Molly Bar was the first Bar going into Dielinghoffen and The Ranch House.
I remember that that was the main dance hall around the camp and it was a
good socialising bar as well. This is a great way to network and keep track
of old friends.--------------Ubique-----------Bob Turner(trapper) |

Hello to fellow Soesters! I
really had a blast at the Vancouver reunion. A lot of people made an
appearance and made us all appreciate what an opportunity we had enjoyed.I
lost contact with a lot of friends when I moved to 4 Wing (Baden Baden) in
1962. Does anybody know the present address of Judy Jeffs? I would like to be
able to reconnect. Hope to hear from old friends. |

What a great site, it sure
resurrects some very fond memories of people and places. Both our daughters
were born in Gemany: BMH Iserlohn and Cdn Medical Hospital Lahr. We spent
some of our best years of my career in Germany. The country and its people will
always have a special place in our hearts. |

I'm presently living in Toronto.
Last nite a few of us got together at John Partridge's pub. It just so
happened that his brother Owen was in town from Egypt and his brother Barry
dropped in from Borden. Linda Prouse,Dave Flannery and wife Sherry Moore and
John Martin were there as well. We were thinking of maybe trying a "mini
reunion" next summer sometime, very informal, but if anyone else is in
the area and interested in coming out, just contact me. Great to see so many
familiar names on this website. Thanks. |

My error in my last entry was
the grades I attended in those years. I thought I was going to make it into
the high school in both grades 6 and 7 but they changed those grades back to
the Junior School. It was a disappointment not have made it to the high
school but attended dances, basketball tournaments and many other great
activities there. |

I really think the website is
the greatest. They kept changing the grades at the senior school so I never
got there. Would have gone there in Grade 6 but they moved that back to the
Junior School in 1962. Have looked at the guest book and see old and familiar
names of friends. My Dad was in the Pay Corps in Fort Henry (Sgt. Jean-Paul
Boyer - Good hockey referee) |

Great website, I will pass along
to my friends who were there with me. I was there from November 1959 to
August 1962. I was a Lieutenant in RCEME at 40 Field Workshop at Fort Chambly
then moved to Fort Henry to command the 4 CIBG HQ LAD as a Captain. Our son,
Bryan, was born in BMH Iserlohn in January 1961. My wife and I visited the
sites in December 1980 when Chambly was occupied by the British Army and was
heavily guarded to protect against the IRA. Fort Henry was occupied by the
German Army and Fort York by the British. We visited again in 1999 when
Chambly was vacated by the military and parts of it were being used as a
freight-forwarding facility. (A new Autobahn runs very close to the officers
mess area.)The area of the officers messes and sleeping quarters was occupied
by refugees. The churches were still there but were abandoned and all
overgrown. The whole site was very decrepit. The rink was there still but
abandoned too. Fort Henry was obliterated and the ice rink at Fort York
was now the skating rink for the town of Soest. Other buildings on the Fort
York site were being used for commercial purposes. |

I was three when we got posted
there. My dad Dan (Scotty) was in Royal 22nd, the Vandoos at the time. The
only school I attended was nursery school there. My older siblings Joan and
Danny attended school there. My memories are vague but it was great to see
the pictures. It appears there is not alot of memories of the time I was
there. Maybe someone out there has some information. Please feel free to
contact me. Would be nice to hear from amyone. Great site fantastic! |

What a great time to be a
soldier! We were getting on and off boats and planes in '62 while the US and
USSR played footsie in Cuba. As a young single soldier, my tour in NWE did
much to shape my life and future. I have seen some old freinds posting on this
site and have resumed old freindships on-line at other sites. |

The best years of my life. Three
years with no TV, just good old fashion playing outside. Who can forget
playing in the Black forest behind the PMQ's . Playing in the rock formations
on the way to the base , trading comics,the move theater, the great long
exploring walks with your pal's. It's amazing how much fun you can have
without tv. Terry Penny and Lee if you out there please contact me. Thanks
for the wonderfull memories. ( I still have my report cards for grades three
and four) |

A great site...recognize a few
entries...good to see some interest by the next generation....have managed to
return, as my daughter now resides in Tubingen. Our children attended School
in Werl 62-65, and of course went through all our attempts to communicate in
German. I am now fasinated with her now complete fluency.4CIBG was I believe
the high-point of my 33 year military career. The tasks of today's military
are much less desireable than a our "Tour of the Ruhr". Feel
fortunate all our "Bug-out's" were only "dry
run's"....and we got to immensely enjoy a working holiday. Regards, Wes
Hamilton, Angus, On. |

Being with 1 fld Amb for three
years, I was in the Fort Henry DB in the fall of 64 when the unit moved from
Fort Anne to Fort Chambly. The SSM battery took over Fort Anne on our
departure. In the section "Forts", they have the Field Amb stationed
in Fort Anne but in actual fact left on the dates I mentioned. Great Site! |

I'm so glad to find this site.
Most folks think I'm making it up when I say my Dad was posted to Germany and
it wasn't to Baden or Lahr. I love looking at the picture of the playground
where I was hit with a toy pistol and had to get stitches in my head at 5
years of age. |

I was pleasantly surprised to
come across this Guards site. It is very interesting and it does bring
backsome very good memories. My oldest son was born while I was in Germany,
at BMH Iserlohn. Coming orginally from Holland, being back in Germany was great
for me, as I spent many a week back with Family. I would do it all over again
in a minute, if not for the shutzen fest alone. Great set-up |

looking at the sight. If anyone knows where Diane Caouette (probably married

This is an outstanding surprise
and with very fond memories of my best serving years in the Army. I was
Married in Werl, had three children born there over two tours, my second son
David was buried in the Canadian cemetary in Werl. As a sapper there we worked
hard during exercises and by golly played twice as hard. They were days of
Good Soldiering, you took care of your buddies and all of CFPO 5050 were your
buddies. Soest- Hwy#1 Coppacabana Bar, Werl- Bruno's, Delinghoffen- Molly
Bar, these places helped bond us all together....UBIQUE.. |

Great site. As one of the
original dependents, we spent several months in England before we secured
accommodations in Cappel, near Lippstadt. After 8 months with no school, I
started in a multi grade setup in 2 rooms of a German school, catching an old
Ford bus at 0630 hrs that meandered through village after village.... Both
ways getting home in time for supper. We were early movers into the new PMQ
appartments, having to use an open door Dodge 3/4 ton, as the entire
landscape was mud with no street work done. I remember the move into the new
PMQ school and the opening of the Maple Leaf Store. Somewhere I have an old
1955 school picture??? |

It is very gratifying to see an
extremely well done layout of a time in our lives in a strong Military. It is
also too bad that our young soldiers today can only hear and view about such
adventures as shown in this site. They will, more than likely never have an
opportunity to serve in an enviroment and culture setting as we did in those
years. A tour in Germany was always looked upon as both educational and an
enlightning experience. As much as I and my Family were able, we managed to
take all advantages afforded us and saw most of Europe in those
years. Once again, a very fine memory album, Thanks! |

This is a really nice site. I
was just wondering if there will be more pictures of Lahr as there is for the
North. I was just thinking recently that it would be nice to one day go back
and visit the area. After seeing this site I am anxious for that day. |

successfull.I met my first wife Marian Davies who was a teacher in Home
economics at Soest Senior Secondary.She organized a breakfast club for my
track fellows for early AM training before school.During the summer I was
also loaned to the Summer Recreational program and Sgt Willie Wyler and I did
Gym and swimming with the kids.Loved my stay there and the people I met.Some
I am still in touch with.This is a great site that Marcel Lemarbre just told
me about.I will definately check in often.Anyone who knew me is welcome to

brought back fond memories. I was his driver for 3 years & he was a real
gentleman to everyone who served under him. We had a great crew at Base Tpt.

As a relief Manager/Operator we
had WO`s and SGT`s status. And were at that time employed by the War
Department(UK).We travelled by troop train and troop ship when need be. I
celebrated my 21st birthday at Fort Prince of Wales. Spent the day exploring
the woods at the rear of the camp. That is untill some german Tanks (Training
unit) came roaring out of the trees, and I had to run for it! Most of the
time my accomodation was in the WO`s and SGT`s Mess, with 1 TPT Coy RCASC.
Room 13. Occasionally I would be posted to british units throughout Germany,
but always to return to Fort Chambly. Happy days, unfortunately never to
return! Thanks for making me feel at home! |

This site has brought great
memories. As a young soldier I must say that being Posted to Germany in the
late fifty's and sixties was an experience of a life time. The Soldiers
to-day can only dream of the time we had. Sure not very nice for them being
deployed overseas now. My prayers go out to them. |

Loved Germany as a kid..The
school was great. Mr. Potter was my favorite physics teacher Often walked to
the Dam (18kms)and remember the repairs that were visible to the area that
had been bombed by the DamBusters..Lots of German Military gear around then..
Unfortunately I did not keep any. My Dad would not let me keep the gernades
in any case |

I couldn't believe the rush of
old memories that came through when I started going through the pictures and
postings. I didn't think I'd ever miss being there but I suddenly realized
that I do. Do you remember the great beer they have over there? From crawling
through the mud in a total blackout while changing the transmission of an old
3/4 ton Dodge to playing in a 24-hour curling bonspiel in the hockey rink or
"standing-to" at dawn in the rain; how could you not miss it. Oh,
and by the way, did I mention the beer? This is a great site! |

The years disappear when
browsing this site !!! (Gotta love it.) I returned to Hemer in 2002 - even
made front page news with my reunion of a german girlfriend I chummed with
then. Lots of changes there but still the same ol' Hemer. Had a good fill of
currywurst,schnitzels,pomme-frits mit mayonnaise, and of course, beer. I
managed to visit alot of the old gasthofs - what a reception by the
townspeople! I knew Canadians were liked & admired but had no idea how
much til then. Am returning in summer of 2004 -didn't get my fill of the
marketplatz. |

I hope you don’t mind me posting
my message on your site, I’m not Canadian (I'm English) but lived in
Hemer. My father was with the British Army, 26 Engineer Regiment based
at Corunna Barracks in Iserlohn (Fort Beausejour). I have great memories
of Hemer and the long walks through the Felsenmeer. I went to your
Hemer Senior school which was my Primary school for 3 years. Brilliant
site - so many pictures! They brought back lots of great
memories. Congratulations great site. |

My sister Pat and I have just
spent the last few hours over the holidays looking at this site. She stumbled
on it by accident and told me about it. Can't seem to find school pix of her
or our brother Stephen, though. It is kind of surreal looking at all these
pictures - it's like looking at someone else's life. Almost a little creepy.
Good to see someone was willing to take on this project. You've done a fine
job. I wish Dad Merle Pineo) was still here to see it. Thanks for this. Dave |

I regret to pass on the passing
of my father in law. Arhtur McNutt. He died on 28 Nov 2003 in hospital in
Fredericton, New Brunswick after a short but painful battle with lung cancer.
He loves being in the Black Watch and always used to tell me storied of how
hard you guys had it back then. He really missed all of his army buddies.

Wonderful to read the memories.
Pictures are great reminders of those good times. I married a young lady from
Werl and the ties with the ruhr sites are still as strong as ever. Even hear
from many of our German friends who I worked with in those days. And, the
links with a lot of the soldier/announcer- types are still very strong,
thanks to a good friend of mine, a supporter of Radio CAE contacts, even to
this day - Eroc from Breckerfeld, and Manfred in Dortmund. Those great times
are not forgotten. |

Hemer - some of the best years
of my life. The Teen Hut - the best place to be, where everyone knew your
name. I just found out about the site today when Barb Nelson answered the
phone at a business I was phoning and said to click on. I live in Chilliwack
(Sardis), B.C., married to Al for 25 years with 3 daughters. My brother John lives in Sardis
also. It was exciting to look through all these memories. Thanks for your
hard work. I still keep in touch with Pam Coles. If anyone knows where Wendy
Davidson is or has an address please let me know. This is great! |

I stumbled across this site and
what a great trip down memory lane! Everything came rushing back and it was
almost like being there again! Little Canada and the MLS were our hang outs
back then. What fun we had growing up on Breslauer Strasse in Hemer. Sliding
down the German hill on cardboard in the winter and getting lost in the
graveyard in the forest. And always cutting through the Felsemer to head to
the base and see the movies every Saturday. I'd love to go back and see it
again! |

Wow!! I have never been back to
Hemer, nor have I ever seen any pictures. The photos brought back fond
memories of life as a little kid in Hemer: soft strawberry ice-cream at the
MLS, 1/2 a piece of Juicy Fruit gum from the black bus driver!, a cemetary at
the top of a hill close to Bresslauer Strasse, cobblestone roads on the way
to the Peugout Bike shop (they gave out free hats!!) and so on!! The only
names of kids I remember are: Alison Bird, Jasmine Pearson, Mark Bastien,
Mark Luscombe, the Van Noords and my Gr. 1 teacher, Miss Taylor and Gr. 2
teacher, Mrs. Fernland. I would love to hear from anyone that remembers me or
any of my siblings, Billy, Kathy and Alan! |

It was so nice to visit this
site. Just talked with Ed Hood, John Martin, and Terry Barratt, in the last
few days. It was so wonderful to catch up with them and theirs. Thanks Ed for
putting me on to this great site. So much fun looking at the pictures. It
brings back some of the greatest times and memories of my life. I work in
Shilo, MB and live in Carberry. Have two grown girls and 2 sweet grandgirls.

What a great site... What a lot
of work! I love the pictures, especially the old yearbooks. I downloaded a
bunch of pics for my family, including the recent ones of For Beausejour for
my Dad. My sister Tracy got the ones of the BMH in Iserlohn- her birthplace.
I'd love to hear from any of the old Garry brats out there! Drop me an Email. |

This is a great web site. It is
nice to see all the names of people that we grew up with and had and share so
many lasting memeories with. Being a teenager in Germany in the sixties was a
great learning experience.The chance to be able to play hockey and do the
traveling that we did was something that gives a person a lifetime full of
memories that can only be shared with the peolpe that were there as outsiders
don't realize what it was like. Being in Berlin for a hockey tournament when
it was a divided city and seeing the wall and now so many years later it is
once again one city. This is something a person will always have to remember.
Anyone out there that remembers me drop me a line anytime. |

When one grows up on the move as
most of us army brats do it is difficult to know excatly what roots there
are. Having made connections with othe Hemerites has allowed me to be more
aware of the roots and connections that exsist. Both of my parents died young,
Dad (mel)-58 in 1988, Mom (ada)66 in 2000. [as a side note my mom did girl
guides lots!!!!] So connections are very fragile and need to be nutured and
developed. I am working on developing a number of connections to my roots and
this web-site has really helped to feel more grounded in my experience as a
PMQ Brat. I am in Red Deer, Ab have been for 15 years now teaching
Nursing--wow and to think I never graduated from High School--way to
interested in socializing with Dave Fiddler in Geography!!! would love to
hear from folks. |

Wow! Great site! I just returned
from a personal pilgrimage to Werl and area......I am proud to say that I was
a participant in the Re Dedication Ceremony at the Werl Cemetery for the
Canadian Graves on August 22. I cannot tell you how proud I was to be there
and very surprised to see the turnout of the local german citizens. If anyone
sees any photos of the Ceremony.....I am the lady in the red and white suit!
I was fortunate to have Manfred Schmitt meet me at the airport and he and his
lovely wife showed me around for a couple of days. I wish I could say that it
brought back memories but as young as I was..........I did however, take many
photos and find out the locations of some old photos I had. The Bismark
Tower, the gate in Soest, the Windmill on the way to Soest from Werl, the
Mohnesee.....and many more. I finally got a German document translated
to find out that I was baptized in Warstein (but they got the birthdate
wrong!) but cannot figure out why the parents would go so far for such a
thing?....no Prot. churches in Allagen area??? I am looking for anyone that
would remember Jeanne Lorraine, my mother. She died in April 1961 and is
buried in Werl Military Cemetery with my brother. We lived at 40 Dorfstrasse
in Allagen and 108 Windmill way in Soest. The address in Allagen is an empty
field between houses (apparently the gov't renumbered the houses but no one
could remember the old numbers!) and the address in Soest seems to be a
business. Dad is still alive but he is showing signs of Alzheimer's. I
will be setting up a web page with the details and photos of my trip....email
me for the url. Thanks again for the great site! |

Visiting this site and other
Hemer sites attached brings back memories. Some of the names ring a bell but
its the places, chocolate creampuffs and other 'things' that get the memories
going. We lived on Schutzenstrasse (an apartment building with four families)
away from the PMQs and other Belgiques. Some of you may remember my older
sister Barb. Dad went back to Germany - Lahr for 1972-1975. My younger
siblings Kathy, Kevin and Susan would have been teenagers then. Thanks to
those that keep the site together and growing. |

Great website. Just found it
through my brother, Peter. Left Picton in 1962 for three years in what turned
out to be the best part of my youth! and have now resettled here. Would love
to get in touch with some of the old gang - JoAnn Collingwood, Linda (Snoopy)Crowter,
Marlene or Larry Napier, Don Kirkey, Brenda Rutkay, Gord Lawless, Pat Boyle.
Also would love to know about the next reunion - if one has been scheduled,
where, when, etc. Hope to hear from some of you! |

What a great site. Found it
entirely by accident this morning. I wish I had known about the past
reunions. We were in Hemer for 3 years. My sister Eve-Llynn and I both
attended high school there. I sure would like to hear from anybody out there
who remembers. Memories come back pretty quick. I remember Eve and I
were both pissed off when we got posted there but turned out to be our best
three years of school etc. Wonderfull people and relationships. Unfortunatly
we have lost contact so please if anyone remembers send me a note.
Bye......peter booth |

Found the site while
surfing,even though I was only in grades 4-7 there, it brings back great
memories..Many of you may remember my late father who was a teacher at Hemer
(Brian James). I briefly was in touch with Lois Porteus in the 90's but have
lost contact...I'd love to hear from Lois or anyone else from Hemer |

This site is memory lane,
already have found two long lost friends.... I was an " army brat "

grade 8 to 10 before returning to Canada…I remember the long hour/half school
bus ride from Hemer to Soest..Anyone remember Maj. Moad's daughter Barbara,
Brenda Phillips or Capt. Saar's daughter Karen living in Hemer at that time

Great site. Four years were
fantastic. Wish I could do it all over again. You can go back it time and do
it over again. I proved it-Grade 9 in 1964 and again in 1965. I cut it twice
and its still too short. Trying to get in contact with sisters Patti and
Sheila Morgan who were in Soest perhaps 1965-1968. Appreciate any help. |

Cindy, I remember the trip to
Paris. I also remember creme de menthe, green soup and going all the way to
the top of the Eiffel Tower for banana splits. I also have a vague memory of
water balloons, and unusual bathrooms. I believe I have a picture of you
somewhere in my treasures of those great years. |

Does anyone remember the junior
trip to Paris in spring of 69? I have vague memories of creme de menthe
frappes, green soup, a pastel sketch from Montmartre and a photo of two young
lads from Hemer (Gary Debney and Fred (Rick) Baker) sandwiched between two
shady locals on a bench on the "Left Bank". |

What a pleasure to see some
familiar names. It was 13 yrs ago that we had a Hemer Reunion here in Calgary
and the memories are as fresh as yesterday. Would love to read some updates
from more students from the late 60's. Have updates from many alumni and
teachers if anyone is interested. Drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you.
Hemer 1969 was one of the best years of my life. Looking for Ernie Smith,
Soest 1968-69, Raymond Roy army stationed Hemer 68-69. |

What a fine present to find your
site! I was fourteen and fifteen in Hemer and this far down the line things
are a little blurry, but I do remember Duane Spurrier (my first real
boyfriend, handsome and sweet) vividly. And seeing Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick,
and Tich in concert. And the cream puff factory. And some hilariously pompous
twit called David Sobelman. And Kevin Reiman, who taught me to worhip rock
music. And Charlotte Goodman, who was, let's face it, Char, boy crazy. And
Die Grafen at a school dance. And a drunk math teacher. And Altena Castle.
And a girl called George, pomme frites with mayo on the Hauptstrasse, Robbie
Wade, cutting through the graveyard to get to the swimming pool, Jim Hitsman,
Andrea Thiel, and an outrageous Brit who was the only real Mod we had--wow!
seems I may not be so blurry after all...Now on Vancouver Island writing and
continuing my in-depth personal studies of poverty. Married, six dogs, no
kids, and certainly should not be thinking about Duane, but this site made
me!! Great days then; hope you all have great days ahead. Love to you
all. Kilby (a.k.a. Percival in the S cubed C squared, whatever the heck
that was...) |

I lived at Lahr from 1972-74.
This spring and summer, I want to interview Overseas Brats about their
memories of the Cold War (for a CBC radio piece). I'm looking for people who
were old enough while in Europe to pay a bit of attention to the political world
around them, people who remember some of the bumps and hiccups in East-West
relations from the early days right up to when the Wall came down. Memories
of alerts, terror attacks (Munich Olympics and the Red Army Faction bombings
while I was there, for example)and other highlights of their stay are also
welcome. They can contact me at jaynbarn@telusplanet.net |

All through ones life you meet
many people, some will be only acquaintances and others will become lifetime
friends. Receiving a surprising e-mail from Collin Hillyard, which I had lost
contact with for over 31 years. We exchanged some e-mails, and have since
spoken on the phone. We had the opportunity to relive some great memories,
and catch up on what was new in our lives. As I hung up the phone from
speaking to Collin for the first time in over 31 years, I sat at my desk and
reflected upon those people who have come and gone in my live. I sat there a
little melon collie, and found myself returning to those days of two young
kids who couldn’t wait to tag up to play hockey, baseball, or whatever
adventure that awaited them. I can honestly say……. “we were pals”
Thanks for the great memories pal….. Steve Dowdell |

My big sister Sharon told me she
found this site, had a ball checking it out today. Sure brought back a lot of
memories of people/things that I haven't thought about in years. Spent a 1/2
year in grade 3 at Hemer Jr. (with my head against the wall in recess most of
the time). 67 - 70 was in 4D, 5A and 6A at Hemer Sr. Still remember reporting
Russian cars that were in the neighborhood to the MP's. Keep up the great
work, will visit again. |

Just happened upon this website,
it's great. Amazing after 31 years to see names and faces of people that
bring back memories that had faded but were not forgotten. Not much contact
with Hemerites or Soestites since that time. Susan Boyce and Mrs. Schemmer
were the last......lost contact with both so if anyone knows where I can
reach them an e-mail would be greatly appreciated..... |

Somebody pinch me! I'm so
excited to learn about this site. Chris Phanghannsl let me know it was here,
so I owe her big time! The site looks fabulous. They were GREAT times
and we were so fortunate to have had a place like Hemer to grow up in. I see
Chris, Dave Fidler, Carolyn Stone, Debbie Little, and sometimes Bonnie Tupper
and her brother, Loring, quite a bit. We all get together for dinner every
couple of months. Not too many people can say that they are in touch on a
regular basis with people they've known for (dare I say it?) more than 30
years. They are among the most important people in my life, those who
"knew me when..." They keep me honest. haha Last summer we had an
itsy bitsy reunion at my home in Calgary. Rick Harris (who came in from
Edmonton), Marcelle Marquis (who was visiting from Toronto), Astrid Seton,
Bonnie (who was visiting from Libia) & Loring Tupper, Chris & Cathy
Phanghannsl, Carolyn Stone, Wendy Wheeler (in from Red Deer), Dave Fidler,
Ursula Funk, and Ramona (Buttons) Woodfine (who was visiting from Halifax).
We had a blast, barbequing huge steaks and drinking lots of beer and
wine. They're having a big shindig in Halifax this August. It's being
organized by people primarily from Lahr, but anyone who attended school
overseas is welcome. I know of a number of Hemerites who are planning to
attend. I can't go. Rats! No, I'm not still CB'd, although I'm sure I should
be for something. Terry Barrett mentioned that famous football victory over
Soest the last year. THAT was a VERY good day. He who laughs last, laughs
best! Too bad we had so little time to lord it over them. I hope
all of you are well and enjoying life. Drop a line sometime. I'd love to hear
from you. |

Brilliant site - so many
pictures! They brought back lots of emotional memories. My father was with
2nd Field Regiment R.A. We moved in after you Canadians left.We visited lots
of places and dad had great opportunity to ski - he was in the army olympic ski-ing
team. I went to Hemer primary school (Hemer senior high) for 2 years and then
onto secondary school in Dortmund. I think Hemer was dads best posting. We
had such great times there. Thanks for such a great site. |

Excellant site, I came across it
by chance. Look forward to more pictures. We went up from Lahr & Baden
and stayed at Fort York in May '93 as us (8th Canadian Hussars) and 3 RCR
exercised the freedom of the city of Soest. An incredible weekend as the
people still really liked the Canadians and of Iserlohner Pils. Later that
summer, on the way back from Berlin, we stopped at our old PMQ area on Von
Behwing Strasse. I do not have a lot of recollection of the time as I was an
infant. My Father, Colby Yeomans, was in the Strathconas at Fort Beausejour
and before at Fort Chambly in Soest. He passed away last year but always said
these tours up north were the highlight of his career. I would like to re-
visit the area the next time I go to Europe |

Have many happy memories of our
years in Hemer with my sister Chris and brother Erich. You've done an
excellent job on the website - it's really nice to see the pictures of the
school once again. We were lucky enough to have the big reunion a few years back
here in Calgary - amazing to see the turnout and renew old friendships.
Cheers to all the army brats out there! |

Hope to see my message posted, I
attended the Hermer reunion in 1995 in Winnipeg and have kept in touch with
some of the people who attended this reunion. I have great memories of Hemer
and the Teen hut and the long walks through the Felsenmeer to get to
Deilinghoffen cinema. Many great years spent with the gang in Hemer and
really enjoy reading the messages posted. Great site, congratulations. |

A great site and very
interesting to see the old pictures from the Beaver. I must clarify one
mistake, and that is the picture on page 3 of the church service by the
Centurion tank. It states it was the Fort Garry Horse at Sennalager in
62.This is impossible because the 8CH would have been in Sennalager in 62,
it's possible it would have been in 63.I know this is just nit picking but
some of us might care. |

Arrived on my 18th Birthday in
Jan 1968. Lived in a huge PMQ on Freidenstrasse in Unna. Took the bus to
school in Hemer. Frequently hitched in and out to make it to hockey practice.
Played Hockey there for Hemer. Got to Play in Amsterdam, Berlin, beat the
crap out of Soest Regularly (almost every weekend). Later played a few games
with the Senior German team, we got too old for the Canadian Junior Team.
First ate spagetti there. Met a few girls, Flannery, Brown, Blair (to name a
few). Got to start a band with Ed Hood, Darrel Finnigan, Brian Graham and
Rick Rizzo. Played at Teen Town regularly and some military events. Did a 35
band festival in Unna with bands from over europe. Beat almost everyone at
foos ball at noon in the teen hut. Hitched to Copenhagen with Ed Hood. Beat
Soest in Football the last year and made 5 touch downs that day. Had a blast
growing up there. Then on to Lahr for even more fun. Learned to eat Pizza in
Lahr. Rode bikes (motor of course) to Munich for October Fest. Kidnapped Millan
Lamb at midnight and drove to Ostend in Belgium, stopped into Soest on the
way. took a mini tour via my 1st Car Austin Mini to French and Italian
rivierra and on Torrino and then Geneva and home to Lahr. Unreal |

I just found out about this

Germany. I used to hang out with Jim Thompson and Laurie Lynch, I often
wonder where they are now?? I lost contact with them in late 60's, it would
be nice to contact people whom I haven't seen in so many years. We had some
great times, growing up.[ |

This site was a great find. Nice
to see familiar faces from long ago. My 2 brothers (Cletus and Normand) and 2
sisters (Linda and Shirley) started out in the French class (Miss Ethier) and
then moved on to the english classes. Our dad was with the 8th Hussars in
Iserlohn. We moved to Petawawa on our return to Canada in 62. Love to hear
from anyone who was in Hemer and might remember any of us. I currently reside
in Kamloops BC. I am married and have two grown boys of my own now. Cheers. |

To all: I'm in the process of
doing some information gathering for the new Canadian War Museum, slated to
open in 2005. One of the topics we're focussing on is military families,
particularly during the Cold War, but also up to the present day. If you have
any interesting stories, annecdotes or just would just like to tell us what
life was like living on base especially one that is overseas, write to me at
patricia.grimshaw@warmuseum.ca. For the sake of my internet service, please
keep your tale brief -- I'll contact you for more information at a later

We lived on 'Breslauer Strasse',
and I remember there was a chocolate cream-puff factory not too far away (one
of the moms in our building worked there and we got lots of free samples--I
can still taste them!). Behind the PMQ's was a grassy area with all the
clotheslines, and my dad used to take the kids for motor-scooter rides back
there. I also remember tobagganing on the slippery sidewalk that led down
towards the MLS! Great site--I'm off to take a look around! |

Congragulations and sincere
thanks on a great site. Most sites are of the 'south', the north seems to
have faded away until now. In Hemer days we lived in Langscheid in a
beautiful old stone house overlooking the Sorpesee. A promise to myself years
ago was if I ever win the lottery will go back and buy it. Would love to hear
from my best buddy in Hemer, Larry Haslett or if anyone knows anything of him
please contact me. It would be great to hear from anyone who remembers me or
or family. Thanks again. |

What a very nice site!! I was

site often. Keep up the good work. |

exhaustive searches I regret not finding Bonnie Chatwin who I believe was
