    When I first arrived in Germany I was at 72nd headquarters in Bamberg July 1958.
    After a couple months I was assigned to the 72nd field Artillery Band at Wertheim as a drummer/percussionist.
    I had a group called the rock-n-kings consisting of military and civilian musicians. We toured various bases and German clubs/festivals “New Faces Of 59″
    I stayed there until November 1959 and then shipped back to the States for discharge
    I am 73 years of age and have been in the music business
    for 56 years. I was trained on the 280mm cannon at fort sill, OK and took basic training at Ft Jackson, SC C3. I reside in Maryland. If interested I have a website: http://www.barrygregory.info

    I was at Peden Barrack from May 1964 to Jan 1965 flying the old Sikorsky H-34s. I lived in the officers club upstairs for a few months and then moved to a small village 4 or 5 miles down the Tauber. Can’t remember the name. It was my first posting, my first time to Europe and Germany and it was a magical time. The town was such that you didn’t feel like you were at a military installation, you could be as “German” or local as you wanted to be. I used to rent the paddle boats at the hotel by the bridge.
    I loved the place, have been back about three times. Still love it.
    I was with the 3rd Avn Div. blue and white striped square patch on the shoulder.

    Assigned to Peden Barracks with C Btry 2nd Tab 25th Arty May 67 – May 68 before transfer to Vietnam. I believe we were in Bldg #4 (now gone) across from the EM club on Peden Circle. Visiting Wertheim 17-19 May 2012 to see the improvements made by the local community. Plan to recreate a couple of photos and walk the route to the chow hall and theatre.
