In the middle sixty’s compliments of the US Army, I spent approximately fifteen months in Germany. I was stationed at Merrill Barracks in Nurenburg and Cambrai Frisch Kaserne at Darmstadt. This was during the Cold War era and there were around 500,000 US military in European countries. During that time, I was able to do some traveling around the area. Visiting Munich, Frankfurt and a trip to Switzerland. All in all, it was a good experience in spite of being in the Army.

It has been over sixty years since that time, and I would like to see what that area looks like now. I am sure that area has changed quite a lot, and I would not recognize the area.

Another area I would like to visit is the lower area of England. My dad’s roots are from Cornwall England back in the 1530’s. It would be interesting to see something about the area my ancestors came from. I had a DNA test and found out that 50% of me is from Germany, 40% from England and 10% from other European areas.

This is just a dream I have. Since I am well into my seasoned years I kind of doubt that this dream will ever come true.
