I spent many years in Mannheim from 72-76. what will happen to Geronimo? My sister graduated in 75 and my brother in 76. My dad put in the mini golf between the bowling alley and sport center for the boosters. I loved that place!!!

We lived on the other side on Jefferson Street. It is hard to watch as I have been in Germany during the hey day and during the draw down and every time we close a post you can hear a thousand German businessmen scream like someone has chopped off their big toe.
