This is the picture that was mailed to me (along with a speeding ticket!) while I was driving to work one day... There were also cameras that took a photo of your car if you ran a stop light, too, but I didn't get any of those. Actually, I thought this was a very neat idea and means of traffic control that has only recently been used in a limited way in Charlotte. None here as yet, but I wouldn't mind if it came here. Anything to reduce careless and stupid injuries and deaths because of those who drive crazily! I just happened to think of this... this is the only ticket I have ever gotten! Lucky Me! (Knock on Wood!)
Greatest Thanks to Katherine (VT member Callaveta) who provided me with this view of Heidelberg! She has visited several times and has excellent information here and also about many other travel destinations. Please do yourself a favor and visit her pages here... just click! It's magic!

I Remember...
I remember my days and nights in Heidelberg still. Army Green. Feelings of loneliness and missing those special in my life. New & Great Friends with many things in common (mostly all here and away from home!). Long, warm summer days when the sun rose at 4 am and set at 10pm. In the reverse, short winter days when it became light just before 9am and was completely dark again by 4:30pm. Bike rides along fields of hops and sugar beets. Walks in the many forest trails so typically German and to be envied by all others. Nights on the Haupt Strasse. Wine Festivals in every town. Cobblestone Streets. Bus rides. Train rides. My old beat up VW that I bought for $300. English & Scottish girls. Anita Street. Sheperd's Bar. Jeigermeister(sp?). My friend Austin turning green. Peeing in a trough. People peeing along the side of the road. Lots of peeing! Walking way out of your way so as NOT to have salute an officer. The Golden Rose Restaurant in Keirsheim and Cordon Blue mit pompe frits unt salad. Alt Bier. Hashish. Playing guitar & writing songs with Bill Sheeley. A trip to Hamburg and a home-cooked meal. Red cabbage. Red Light District. Jethro Tull, YES & Uriah Heep concerts. Dancing in a club downtown. Getting busted while trying to date two different girls (never again!). Queing to see "Live and Let Die". Anita Street and the one I left behind. Liverpool girls. Yorkshire girls. Warm beer with a head and a kick! Fast pitch softball. Painful knee injury. German brother landlords. One snow. Best Friends ever! Army Lifers making life miserable. Castle Illumination. Gerda. Working 18 hour days. Nothing to do. Memorable music. Stones Traffic Free Beatles. Punch cards. Deadlines. Working with Mrs. Gutruff. Short-Time Calendar. Processing out on crutches. Saying Good-bye. Ready to resume life as a rock star (yeah, right!) Trip to the airport. Going home. General Pink on the flight home. Gone from Heidelberg & Germany. Heidelberg & Germany never gone from me.
- Pros:A quaint, historical place... Go there and see for yourself!
- Cons:There are no "Con's"...
- In a nutshell:Good Times... Good Friends... Great Memories!

It's so late but happiest birthday! Been such a while, and I hope you are doing good? I like your dedication to Kam and Jess. It's full of love. Thank you for sharing. Maria
We enjoyed Heidelberg when we visited in 1989. Our brother-in-law was also stationed there in 1970. They had a great time too! We are here in Augusta this week - enjoying the weather and tiger-sightings! Marcia
Those shoes are back in style, BTW! Love your memories. You are blessed....
I loved this city!! I spent a wonderful day exploring and shopping at the Christmas Market this past December!! I need to get my butt back here!!
Hihi, nice memories :-)) Yes, I agree, Heidelberg is very nice - but next time you come, you need to see a bit more of it's western surroundings :-))
I think Heidelberg is one of the nicest cities in Germany, but have you ever been to Weinheim? Great travelogues, sorry I haent been by your pages lately, traveling a lot. But ready to read other pages now!! Kat
The nicest city in Germany. How long have you been in Heidelberg?
A wonderful page of memories for you, sounds like happy times. Love the photos of you! (~_~)
Good to know you are not a speedstar like me..The French seems to be very sensitive regarding those rules as well. ..Knock on Wood!
LOL! The shoes HAD to go, but the bell bottoms are back! ;-) Great stories. You were a singer in a band? Cool! ~Elaine~
