    Hello Amberg family,
    I was there in the early 80′s from November 81 to October 84 to be exact. I was there as the wife of Sgt. Waverly Hubbard (Hub). I have two children that was also there (Rashe and Daryl).

    I am looking for Rosyland Carter, Arora Hernandez, Steve Smith, Robert Quinn, and also a guy named Alex that was a friend of the DependentYouth Activities (DYA). I worked with Robert, Steve, and Arora, at the DYA. They were all just the greatest people on earth. We had a cook-out with Alex’s German family one Saturday afternoon. Does he still live over there? I have pictures of him and his family. We all had the most wonderful time of laughter with him.

    I have thought about you all over the years and wish all of you the very best. Therefore, I would love for anyone to contact me that was there at that time. It would even be nice to go back down memory lane to see the historic site.

    Is any troops stationed over there now?

    Love to all,

    Emily Hubbard Davis

      I just found out they closed it in ’09.

      It was a great community and home for many people for quite a while. I do have fun pictures and memories of our stay over there.

      I was a Redeye gunner there HHT 3/2 ACR 77-80. Had a blast. Looking back on it maybe to much fun at times. Sometimes I wonder how I made it back alive.

    Served in 3/2 ACR from Jul 1969 to Feb 1972. Best years of my life. Spent a lot of time away from home (border, Graf, Hoenfels, and TDY), but enjoyed it.

    I was at Pond Barracks from 71 – 73. Got discharged for hanging with the wrong people from Grafen vier for tank training. Did border duty from Camp Rotz(36K20)
    Meet alot of awesome people. Unfortunately got caught up in the drug scene(too damn young and naive.’
    Loved to take in Amberg by walking the town or train trips to Munich.

    I was stationed at Pond Barracks in 1962. Was with Co. C 293rd. Eng. Battalion.
    We built the missile site outside of Amberg. I was the tool room keeper on the job site.
    Does anyone know Jerry kiley, he was in supply and we where good friends.
    Amberg was the best place I’ve ever been in Germany, like another world. Remember going to the Cafe Baur and all the other great places.
