Ed'sBike
Me and my first bike, a Zuendapp 200cc which I bought from Joe Theis CT2 for $200. Later sold to Bob Haines CT2. He got a ticket for parking it behind the WAC barracks on Sat. morning before the sale was final. This was credited to me and became my 3rd parking ticket and got me a Captain's Mast, which resulted in suspension of license and restriction for two weeks! Thanks again Robert if you're out there!
LastBike
My 'last bike', which I had shipped home. It was a Victoria Bergmeister 350cc. I traded it in on a '56 Ford...wish I had it back!
 
SSUnitedStates
The SS United States on one of her visits to Bremerhaven. The America also docked there back in the days of sea travel.
Basketball
For all you basketball fans. That's 'Big John' Marshall who just took the shot. Any I.D.'s on the others out there?
Football
Army/Navy(?) game at the Staging Area. I frankly don't remember being at this game. I think Lou Gianelli played on the Navy team.
St.Pauls
Vernon in front of St. Paul's church on Hafenstrasse. John Marshall and Annagret got married there.
 
BombedChurch
This is the old bombed out church just off Hafenstraasse. They build a 'skyscraper' just down the street from it.
Town
Don't remember if this was in Bremen or Bremerhaven. The Nordsee Zeitung (newspaper) office on the left. Look at the bicycles, remember?
Rickmerstrasse
Rickmerstrasse across from the Oceana Bar. Strassenbahn and Volkswagens, wow!
 
BusStop
At the Army Bus Stop on Rickmerstrasse looking toward Hafenstrasse. Look at the cool Mercedes!
