Hello anyone out there who was at the 8th USAFAD during 1978 and 1981. My name is Wayne Gueltzow, I was one of the cooks. I have been in contact with several buddies from that era and would like to find more. All help would be appreciated. I do know we had a 1st Sgt Allen who I would love to find. Again any help and please drop me a line.

Re: 8th USAFAD 1978-1981
I know my older brother Pete (Piet Smit) worked there during those years As KP.
but I think you already keep in touch. I still remember the american soldiers that had an apartment across the street from my parents house. what I remember best was I think Your Toyota Pick-up truck, sand colored, lift kit, it was a SR5. or am i wrong?
there are three names i remember from back then, Rick spitler, wayne Gueltzow and David Carpenter.
But hey I was a kid not old enough to keep my own pants up. so yeah you guys made an impression on me.
as it turned out I also worked at the 8th late eighties, early nineties, also KP
and yes i still like pickup trucks. sadly dutch tax laws make them to expensive for me nowadays.
Thanx for what you did and how you influenced me,

Hello Wouter, Yes I remember you and yes I do keep in touch with your brother. Your mother and father were the greatest people anyone would want to know. I was very proud to be there friend; they always looked out for me, not to mention your mother can cook. No I didn't have the pick up but I did have a lot of cars so I can understand the mix up. Tell your mom hello and that I miss her. I think of her and your dad a lot when I am reminiscing. Good to here from you.
Wayne.
