Howard,

You were at Herzo Base? I was there in 1975 to visit a German girlfriend. I
took a taxi thru Erlangen from the train station on a Friday evening. There
were millions of college aged girls in that town. I have never seen anything
like it. I later found out that there were half a dozen or more schools for
nursing, etc and that the ratio of female to male was 9:1. I always envied
those soldiers stationed up the road at Herzo Base!
