Hi, David. I thought I recognized your name. I have the same picture in my album, "The Fields File". Both me and my brother Mike were on that team. I'm #42 on the upper left and Mike is #62, kinda buried in the 2nd row down on the right, behind #27, next to Mike Schiller..." - Greg Fields FAJHS '69-'72

  I could be wrong, but I think that is Morris Ostroff (69) standing 2nd from the left.  He actually was my Home Ec cooking partner (yep, definitely the cutest and I think the only guy in the class!) our senior year!  I don't know where he was from, and I can't get the yearbook to open to compare pictures.  Maybe someone else can verify... Diane (Moore) Harlow  
 


My Giessen cheerleading letter   By Mary Ilseng 

 

1965 Frankfurt AYA baseball team                                                                                                                            from Darl Sams 67
"...team picture of the AYA team for Frankfurt in 1965.  The picture was taken at the Drake/Edwards baseball field.  The high school never had baseball as a scholastic sport (at least during this time frame).  The team did play many of the high school towns in Germany - K-town, Heidelberg, Wiesbaden, Stuttgard.  We ended the season with a double header against an American high school team from France.  We took the title of European Champs that year.  The roster was:
 

Row 1:  Coach Sams, Tom Tegge 67, Lyle Mathews 65, Jim Conway 66, Jim Gibson 67, Ben Cobian, Bill Price 65, Bob Farmer 66, Darl Sams 67, Gary Sams 65, Mike McGuire 67

 

Row 2:  Mike Wheeler 67, Larry Stieber 65, Bill Long 65, Anibal Gutierrez 67, Bill Wojahn 65, Dave Henderson 67, John Heckman, Phil Bepko 67, Claus Demoore 67, Bob Bepko 66, Larry Phelps 67, Joe Caldwell 67"

Bruce,
     I played with these guys. Our games were at the baseball field in Platten. The Frankfurt American was a weekly news magazine (like Parade) that came out every Saturday.

Phil Bepko lives in San Antonio, last I checked, but I don't have his email address.  I wrote to Stuart Knowlton to see if he remembers the paper/article and asked him to pass it on to Phil (who has a popular band there in SA).

We were all playing for the 3rd Armored Div. Spearheader Army soccer team........click image to enlarge

From Cyril Sawyer,   Sent: December 15, 2011 , To: Dennis V. Berwyn, Subject: FW: I found the Soccer picture
Comment on this on Facebook here
Hi Dennis,

Wie gehts? Can you use this photo for your website? It contains a few FAHSer’s; 1st row, 3rd from left Stan Morgan (1975) and to his right Roger Marino (1974). Top row, far left Mike Rosen (demented & confused looking character, 1976) & Cyril Sawyer to his right (1975). This photo was sent to me by Teri Lowry, Stan’s girlfriend.

This photo was taken in 1976 in the Taunus Mountains in a sleepy, little village on a Saturday. We were all playing for the 3rd Armored Div. Spearheader Army soccer team in a German soccer tournament.

We had a really good team and placed second in the tournament (we lost to the pre tournament favorite 1:0) and 2 of our best players were absent that day. We were the only non-German team in the tournament and the villagers were convinced we were really German soldiers in disguise; they refused to believe us that we were really Americans (although we did have 2 Germans on our team).
We even had some of the German children come on our bus to get our autographs. Needless to say we had a great time.

The only reason we joined the 3rd Armored Div. soccer team was because after every game we were given DM 100 to eat and drink Bier w/the opponents (they were always German teams) to improve German – American relations and boy did we try to improve relations!

This photo was taken shortly after the championship game w/our goalie working on German - Americans relations and Roger is holding up our certificate.

Ciao, Cyril
