"So many great memories, how do you pick the best? We lived at Strassburg Kasern in Idar Oberstein. Best place in the world. Remember the snowy rides in the winter on the bus headed to school at Baumholder? Snow on the ground from October to May. Some times it snowed too much and we were not able to make it to school. But it didn't stop us from getting out, going to the service & teen club. Best friends, Teresa Lee & Mona Poteet made the stay so much better. The friendship has lasted and we still stay in touch. The people at Baumholder made the memories, so many, too many to name them all. The teachers, Mr Mulder & Ms Holland were great and left lasting memories, great memories. Remember the drama club, the spades in the library, lunch at the Officers Club since we had no place to eat at school, graduation at post chaple? I don't know about anyone else, but I almost dreaded graduation because I knew that all the friendships & memories would almost end. People move, lives changed. High School ended. What is left but wonderful memories. So how can you put into words such memorable events that mark your life, just say Remember Baumholder and everything comes back. The class of 1972 is 50ish now. We all look back and remember all the great times we had and wish we could step back in time for just a little while and relive the good times." Jan Morris, class of 72

Living on easy street in Tennessee. All my old friends e-mail me at lford7397@comcast.net." Lisa Baker (Ford) 1987-88

"I don't really have any favorite moments of Baumholder, although Germany I have several. I remember one trip to Kusel, me and my friends made. As we went swimming at the Kusel pool, we saw this german kids doing something really odd. They pulled their bathing suits up so their butt cracks would show while they went down the slide.

"Well, lets start at the beginning: Sarah Earls was my first friend, chillin with the skaters by the gym, makeovers with Deanna Brauer and Amy Carper, Booby Fest in London and the hot British guys with Colleen, Stephanie and Amy, "better late than never" awards for me and Brian for skipping Field Day (and Amy and Briana didn't get in trouble), Briana and my BWWC club, dance with Katherine (who is still my best friend in the world!!!) everything invovling drama-I love you Mr. Smith!, doing ballet lifts with Danny Hilden at lunch, flirting relentlessly with Jeremy K in physiology class, putting my dog's hair in my holocaust book for English, anything and everything that involved my first love Brian Smith-we had good times, talking about guys and sex with Jessica Madrid in pottery class, Receding Hariline shows/practices-I was the best groupie ever, long talks about life with Beavis pretty much everyday-I miss you so much! we need to get in touch, "managing" the boys soccer team which included having coach Schwab call me ME-shell, hanging out on the sidelines with Lucious Williams and Kris Lattao (tacos burritos burritos and tacos and tacos burritos for youuuuu!!!), random flirtings with Chris Davis (youngin'!), McDonald's trips, doing SO MANY stupid but incredibly fun things with Amanda Peebles, getting in trouble for PDA by Mrs. Domingues with EVERY boyfriend I ever had while I was there, eating lunch in the lobby, summer hire, MUN trip that included some firsts for me ( that later got me in trouble in college, nuff said), and the list goes on and on. I am so thankful for having so many teachers there who really touched my life- Mr. Hartline, Mr. Smith, Mr. O'Neil, Mr. Duncan, Coach Reilly, Ms. Magowan. You are wonderful people and I appreciate all you have done for me and everyone you encounter. I am prepering to graduate from George Mason University in August 2005, after that I am moving to San Diego, CA where I plan on pursuing a Master's of Social Work degree. I would love to hear from absolutely anyone who remembers me- as I look over this page I see people who when we lived there, we hated each other, but when I see their names now I feel nothing but a friendly bond.

"After reading the previous statements before my own leads me to concur with everyone else...I hated it when I was there, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! Things that stick out to me are obviously sports (Basketball, Track 93-95 Baby!) but most importantly, people. I find myself reminiscing about the times me and my boys (Reese, Carlis, Jose, Luis, Alexie, Tyus, Rod J.) had shared, as well as everyone else who I barely talked to. It's not as much as a single memory that links me to BAHS for life, it's the conglomerate of actions that took place while I was there from fests and snowy winters to hangin in the hallways in between classes and SPAIN Spring Breaks (please, don't anyone forget SPAIN!). I was blessed to have been able to spend half of my high school years in big school in the states and the other in DODDS and in comparison, because of the environment, BAHS wins hands down. No matter how small or how big the place where you came from may be, you must never forget home-" Danyiel Evans 1993-95

"I am actually a German girl who grew up with all of you beside me. Alongside, German and American, and a lot of you are right: There was no white or black, black or white, no matter what color, heritage, no Germans or Americans, just people, thrown together to make it work. It made me a different kind of person, growing up with diversity. I remember sneaking on base. I was there with some of my friends. I met my first husband (US military) in Baumholder, Germany. Baumholder was a great town, to just be a kid, and as I look, and read, through some of your messages, I am glad, that my little hometown had such an impact on your life. It is just a shame that you can never go back. Thank you! (Maybe someone remembers a German teacher visiting the high school, his name was Mr. Erwin Hahn and he was my grandfather!" Stella Savage 1976-91

"Being able to go home, or German town for lunch!! haha or the little pick-up shack across the street that served the best freakadeli & brockwurst, pomfrites in the world. gummis, hanging at the D.Y.A. playing basketball, football (go warriors, condors) and baseball for the great"MADDOG" or "Everheart".The scenery,snow and travel...so many things I can’t name them all. I can`t believe there was actually a web site for us former "Buccaneers". I just was playing around on my computer and went to google and got lucky. Thanks, this means alot!!!!!!"

"Arriving in Baumholder the latter part of '82 and graduating in June 1985 says a lot by itself. I have very fond memories of school, the teachers and the friends I made while I was there. I returned in 1988 to visit and lived in Stuttgart from 1988 - 1991. So you see Germany became part of my home for a decade. I have been fortunate to have run into and spend time with some of my classmates. So here is to our upcoming 20 year anniversary. Much love to all of you. If you want to write to me pls do so, at special_ladyv@hotmail.com We should plan on getting together, after all 20 years should be a blast. Besides we are like fine German wine the older the better. Thank you for the memories of a life time. Love Vieanna Class of '85, WE RULED!!!!" Vieanna Rivera (Huertas) 1983-86

"I loved the area, met a nice German girl had good friends and good memories. Enjoyed being a part of Yearbook. Teachers I remember, Mr Mizgalla the shop guy and a Social Studies teacher whose name I can not recall. I think he was Hawaiin. Unfortunatly in my youth I had not yet learned how to be a good member of society. I suspect I have better memories of school, than the school does of me.

I miss Susan Shumate, Debbie Colston (if anyone knows where she is I would love to catch up with her). I remember as far back as kindergarten with Mr. Levy and first grade with Mrs. Bishop. I remember the band trip to London in 7th grade when Walter...well he knows what happened in that gift shop. :-) Tina Benson and I constantly battling for first chair in band with our clarinets. The french horn players finding it rather humorous to empty their spit from the ends on our backs...you know who you are! The Hall of Champions..the BLT's at the bowling alley.

"I had too many favorite memories at BAHS including being on the track team, but not fast as Rick Jasper (ha,ha). Also dating Karyn Rowan in which I wish I could have dated other ladies as well during my senior year. But unfortunately I didn't stay too long after graduation due to joining the military and getting stationed in Frankfurt after my initial training (May 1989). The funniest memory was driving my parent's huge, ugly, "blue" old classic Ford station wagon known as the "party barge from hell". Everyone thought it was weird to ride as a passenger in that old tank. But-it beats walking,right? I also remember going out on Fridays and Saturdays to hang out the local bars and clubs in Birkenfield with other friends and being the designated driver so my friends could make it home safely. I always ended up going home alone because "Karyn" had always broken up with for some silly reason-I still don't know what for. I guess we were kids back then. The memories are good and I'll cherish them." Tim Curtis 1987-88

The pond family lived across from us on 1 side and John Ivey, Keith, Thomas, Sherry and Ray Storey, just to name a few. Living there was the best time of my life. I grew up there. I went To Wetzel Elementary and then on to Bahs. Everyone was a friend to everyone. We were all in the same situation, that we didn't have a choice. There is definitely something to say about army brats. We really aren't brats, we just so happen to be the lucky children who get to travel the world and make more friends in a lifetime than any non-military brat would ever think of making. Our memories are specific. I wouldn't trade my time or friends I've made for all the money in the world. Reminiscing on the pictures that we took over there always brings tears to my eyes. All of my friends, I miss you and wish we were in touch again." Diana Zingraf 1978-1982

We all complained the whole time we were there, but I would jump at the op to come and do it all over again!!

"I have several memories. One of which was one winter night, several friends, including Francis brown, my sister and her friends all went out sledding in the lowers at suicide hill by the light of the moon. When we were cold enough, we all came back to our house in the uppers and mom and dad made up some hot chocolate and food, just enough to get us back on our way out for some more snow fun. I also enjoyed cheering for BAHS. My sister Denise and I were on the squad together, and the football team was great. That year we won USAEU champs. It was funny though, because it seemed we won every game in the rain, and my sister still let the cheerleaders get on her shoulders with muddy feet for the pyramids we did during the games. The only game we lost that year was to Hanau, and that was because it was not raining that day. I have so many memories about Baumholder; they are to many to list.

Tapping on the radiators in my sister and my bedroom sending secret messages to the boys living below us. Walking out the door of our Falenburg apartment in the morning and looking over the valley, seeing the the white steeple of the church inching up above the fog that laid like a white blanket over Baumholder. Trips down the Rhine river with the smells of wine, food and river filling the air. Meeting up with my best friends and exploring the woods and paths behind our Falenburg apartments. Finding a dud in those woods and poking it with a long stick just to see what might happen..then getting into big trouble because my sister told my Mom and Dad.

"One of my favorite memories is of the snow, the giant icicles hanging from the trees, school being called off due to the extreme winter weather. I loved the Teen Club, where I met my first"serious" love, a German boy by the name of Robbie Ruth. I loved the field trips to Heidelberg, the Rhine River. I loved the family trips to Munich and Garmisch and going to the top of the Zugspitz by cablecar 10,000 feet up and the ice-melt Eibsee Lake. I enjoyed being in chorus with Mrs.Heater, English class with Mrs. Root and Mrs. McGowan. Mrs. McGowan, do you remember the dresses my mother created and sewed for you? You could have a good day shopping with just a few marks in your pocket in downtown Baumholder in the late 60's - four marks to a dollar. I was Art Editor on the "Lorelei", and voted "Most Talented" in 11th grade, presumably for art and chorus where I did a couple of solos. I would really like to get in touch with Wanda Bryant, Mimi Arzuman, Janet Harrington, Nancy Blankenship, Steve Cox, Lily Cox, Patricia Winters and Roy Keenom - thanks Roy, for the pretty pearl ring you sent me just after we moved to California. These people would have been the Class of 1969 (except for Lily) My father retired from the army in December 1968, and so I wasnt' able to graduate in Baumholder, but graduated in 1969 in California. It was very tough to leave my graduating class. I still miss everything about Baumholder High. My memories and experiences of Germany and at Baumholder High are easily some of the best of my life.
I feel priveleged to have gone to Baumholder and been able to live in Europe in my formative years. If anyone recognizes my name, Ruth E. Bell, please don't hesitate to contact me by E-mail.

I just look forward to returning one day. To all the people from the Class of 96 I know most of you think I was mean, which I was, but I hope all of you are doing good and wish you good luck in what ever you do in the future. If you want to get at your boy my email is Carlis.Johnson@McConnell.af.mil. Big Up to the Class of 96. Holla at ya boy.. " Carlis Johnson 1992-96

One night Nicole Jernigan and I were there for so long that owners of some of the rides let us ride for free all night long. Some of my best memories in high school were of my then-boyfriend Chris Pass (we shared something special and I will always care for his kind heart and gentle mind), singing in Advanced Choir and going on the London trip with Mr. Lundy, saving a weeks lunch money to leave campus to get "strips" or McDonalds for lunch, having Mrs. Jynes (my best friend Tiffany's mom) as our nurse, getting a final grade of 113% in Ms. Larsons class, Mr. O'neil (the cutest Social Studies teacher I've ever seen), Mr. Dougan (he made math easy to understand and one of my favorite subjects), my many boyfriends, my Honors English teacher Ms. Magowan (poor thing....she cares for her students so much, she used to cry in my class all the time) and last but not least all of my friends (all of which I still talk to) Constance (Konstanzniqua) Brown, Tiffany (TJ) Jynes, Neina (NeNe)Baumgartner, Krystal Oatts, Chris (Pretty Boy) Price, Chris (Lover) Pass, and Darren (DJ) Bland. For those who were my friends or knew me and lost contact please write me. Baumholder, though small and easy at times, will always hold a special place in my heart.

"Some of my best and worst memories come from Baumholder. I look back and cringe at some of the mistakes I made, but I learned some lessons and had so much fun making them. Everything from my first "date" (my dad dropped me off at the wagonwheel theater and then picked me up right after) to my first love happened there. I made wonderful friends: Teoma Matthews, Nicole, and Leslie Negron (remember getting all dressed up, sneaking out Teoma's window to that disco, and getting hit on by all those middle aged bald guys??) and later Andrea Gergay, Michelle Povilatis and Jenn Walker? Trips to Mannheim to see friends (Spanky) with Michelle and Jenn (remember jumping off the train??) All of the Creative Connections trips that were just out of control, drama trips (especially to Berlin), MUSS trips (complete with my own personal stalker). Going to the laser and dancing all night, and all of the drinking and corousing that went on. Teachers like Ms.Magowan and especially Mr. Lundy come to mind often, even 10 years later. Mr. Lundy is the kind of teacher that every child needs, and the kind that I aspire to be. If you ever find yourself in Kansas, look me up! sambolina1@hotmail.com" Samantha Bishop (1988-94)

"Everything! Miss you all so much! Please call or email - I want to reconnect!" Dawnelle Janese-Maffei 1969-72

"There are many favorite memories of Baumholder. My first good impression was the picture postcard effect of the first afternoon's sunshine across the valley our first full day there, and the church bell. . .sounded like a million bells echoing.

Of course the first impression was, "what the heck", as the train chuffed backward out of the station after depositing its load of bewildered Americans at what was obviously the end of the world.

Then there was that cold snowy night when a deuce-and-a-half pulled up to our apartment building in Fallinburg and took my father and most of the other fathers away with their duffel bags, to who knew where. . .although we all knew the obvious destination was Berlin, and the Wall. We all dug into our issued C-rats and tried to guess where our little bit of map would direct us out, if there was an "out". It was one of the top ten most scary nights of my life.

Being in the Boy Scouts in Germany was certainly a treat. How many 10 to 13 YO boys get to play "Knights" in a true Mideval Keep, or go barging down the Rhine past the Loreli? Or see a tank get pulled out of the mud during Camporee (decided right then and there I didn't want to be a tanker).

Ok, I know a lot of people can relate to going to my first dance, with my first "real" date to the Teen Club, and getting a first, ever, albeit cold and wet snowy kiss from the "New Girl" after sliding down "Suicide Hill" in a mattress box. This Southern Boy (Ft. Campbell, Ft. Rucker, Ft. Jackson) had bareley seen snow before seeing Baumholder wrapped in a white mantle framed with fir branches and looking like a Christmas card.

Baptism by snow? You know it is snowing when you look out the window during an American History class, and find you cannot see the gym or the band room at all because of the blowing white stuff. Ten years later I saw snow like that again in North Chicago as I was waiting at a train station for a shuttle to take me to my barracks at the Naval base. Realized I had seen cars that dirty, too, when I lived in Baumholder. Anybody know where I can find a pair of snow skates?

Regretably I have not made it back to Germany, but maybe some day I will. In the mean time if you are ever in Kansas City, drop by the Germania Club (www.germaniakc.org) and ask for me and say Prosit, and I will buy you a beer." Phillip Thompson 1960-62

"I've just finished scanning a lot of the memories y'all listed, including the vague one I added over a year ago. Mine was pretty weak because I couldn't seem to get a grip on what it is that makes Baumholder so special to me. Everyone, including myself, remembers friends and a few forbidden spots and special or strange situations they were a part of while living in Baumholder. When I asked myself "what really are my most favorite memories of Baumholder?", I thought "the place, Baumholder, isn't a favorite memory of mine, it was a miserable place, as it was always raining, overcast, or bitter cold and it surely wasn't a Disney World for teens". The forbidden spots I went to would have been just some place (some were outright dumps) to get unlawfully (American Law) snockered if I had gone alone. The situations like the Teen Club, playing sports, etc. were nice and exciting to be a part of but without the right people to share those times with, they would have been empty moments shared with people who wouldn't have cared less. So, my treasured memories of Baumholder has to be the friends I made and all the people I got to know well in such a short period of time. People I only knew for 2 1/2 years yet people that still have a name and face in my memory and a place in my heart. I've met many people since that time in Baumholder and even made friends with a few of them but most have been forgotten and I never had that feeling of "fitting in" or closeness with them that I felt and still feel for the friends and acquaintances I met in Baumholder. I've talked, written and emailed some of you because I felt like I needed to "go home" and get in touch with somebody I have something in common with. Yes, we've grown up and gone on separate paths since Baumholder, but I still feel there's a special bond with all of you whether we were close friends in Baumholder of not. I just want ALL OF Y'ALL to know, EACH and EVER ONE of you are my most favorite memories of Baumholder." Ric Reynolds 1963-1965

I thank them all for that experience." Stephen Mannery 1989-92

"Hey everyone. . . I have good and bad memories, but my best were in school. I loved going there because we had all that space and weren't treated like we were prisinors. Well I also enjoyed being with my best freind Jennifer Gibbs, who I still see and talk to. I went to go see her in Orlando Fl in the summer and had the time of my life. I have many of my friends that I grew up with, but not many I am too proud of. I graduated with a hope scholorship at Shaw High School in Columbus Georgia this year (2002) I am very proud of myself because my future has started. I am so happy to tell you I recieved a job in Atlanta Ga as a model scout and will be making a lot of money doing what Ilove. Maybe soon I'll be on tv and act which has been my dream for the longest time. I wish everyone the best of luck with your lives, because it really does go by fast. I left Baumholder and realized I left a big part of me and turned my life now into a bigger part. I did, well we all did a lot of stupid things in life and we all hopefully learn from them. I did and that's why I'm not afraid to be myself. When I went to school in Baumholder, I was picked on most of my time there which was from 7th-10th. I was small, bony and really had nothing to look forward to, now I get all the attention because not only did I learn from people being hard headed, but I also turned my inner beauty to outer beauty. For those who tease and hurt people, I'd like to thank them for changing my life. And you should realize if you keep that up you will end up being a nobody and get what you gave in return. I would love to thank all my teachers. My favorite Mr. Standford, I know you remeber little old me, Mr. and Mrs. Graham, Mr. Smith, and all the teachers that helped me with understanding life.

"Tennis and Band. I was only at Baumholder from Christmas of '69 to graduation of '70. The seniors tried so hard to help me to fit in. Being a 'brat' was hard because you never knew when you were going to move again. I remember the "chang" twins. I remember bus trips to other school, I really remember the tennis trip to Berlin. I remember some of the guys and how I probably screwed with their heads, not meaning to hurt anyone, but I was young! I'm pretty sure no one remembers me, but I was there! I remember they had more bars in town than stores! The tennis courts were so windy because they were on the hill that was opened! I still have the yearbook from the class of '70 so that helps in remembering names and faces, I always wonder if I ran into someone from Baumholder today could I still see their face and remember after age has taken it's place?

"Baumholder was a great place. It was the 50's the Cold War and there was the ever-present threat that loomed. Still, we had access to the rest of Germany and Europe. Baumholder was isolated and it was uniquely like a small US town. We could do things in the gausthauses that we couldn't do in the US. We were the first classes at BHS (1956). Many of us ended up at Ft Hood when the 2nd Armored rotated in 57 so we had some on-going contact. Over the years we have lost contact. But, thanks to this site and the links, many of us are slowly reconnecting. Thanks for maintaing the site." Charles E. "Chuck" Sullivan 1955-57

We hosted the all German DoDDs Wrestling Championships at Baumholder and one of my wrestler's (Tony Swanson) took the championship for his weight class. He wanted the National Anthem to be placed while he was being presented his medal by The Head Post General. Well it wasn't the National Anthem and the general was not very happy with me, but I just look back at it and have to laugh about it over and over again.
