Roman Way Village Housing Part III

Butzbach's Military housing complex for U.S. Soldiers and dependants closed it's doors forever in July 2007.
A short visit to bring back memories. Youtube removed all the music I had as soundtrack due to exclusive rights by Warner Music Group.

Mike,

Marie's little sister was Evelyn, she rode on the bus with us. I was going out with Cheryle Pereira. Remember Debbie Franklin, Carmen Velez, Jerry Sidesinger, Larry Thompson, Ken Mason, James Brown?

Joe Ruano is retired and tending to his orange grove in California, I just talked with Marie 2 years ago, she lives in Washington State with her Physician Husband and family.

My Dad made SGM in 69, prior to him arriving in Butzbach in 68 he had just returned from his second tour in Nam. 64-65 & 67-68. Went to work for Lockheed Martin at the Cape after he retired in 75. Still lives in Florida, just outside of Cape Kennedy.

I didn't live in Butzbach but I lived in Frankfurt (72-76) and this tugs at my heart-strings as if this was my own housing area. Nice video. Thanks for posting.

We lived there form 88-91...thanks for posting...I hate that it looks the way that it does but the memories in my mind still are vivid and bright

I lived here in the early 90's when the Ayer Kaserne (The Rock) was still open. My father was stationed there at the time, actually. We moved there a few months before the borders of East and West Germany dissolved due to the whole 'Iron Curtain' deal. I have also attended Butzbach Elementary School, located right in the complex. Loved it. Thanks a bunch for posting this, I was looking for this for quite some time.
