I was so young, but I'm fairly certain we lived off base. (If we went on base, it probably was Clark!) Strange that we only lived on bases when in the US.
You were there too? I was there in the late 70's/early 80's. I remember we had to ride the Cinderella bus to school- literally a small bus painted with Cinderella on it.

For those that lived in West Germany- I lived off base, but went to school at Hahn. Hahn is now long gone, probably repurposed into something else.

I promise not to keep hijacking the thread lol, but yes! We were probably there at the same time. I was there 1982-84 (2nd through 4th grade), but we lived on base. I can't remember the name of the first school I went to, but I went to Virgil I. Grissom Elementary for 3rd and 4th. It has always been weird to me that somewhere I once lived was destroyed by a volcano of all things!

You're fine. It's fun when you can learn a little more about a DISer or two and their whereabouts...........and PROMISE I'm not stalking!!

Oh I was back in the US by that time. I can't recall the name of the school, only that the lunch room was a large hall with cartoon murals on the walls. I'll have to ask my parents for more details. Not many people in the US can say their school was demolished by a volcano!

 

[CdnCarrie]

Sorry CdnCarrie. My bad. I will try to change it which is a feat in itself!!

So sorry my northern buddies.

I changed it so now you can answer if you would like.

No worries. I honestly didn't know if there was something in the USA with that term.

Cdn Carrie, not sure what term you're talking about but I absolutely love the Eagle's Last resort which mentions Providence, RD, so it really was my bad. I love all you "northern" neighbors and would never want to disrespect you guys.

I envy you military brats. I would've loved to have moved around a lot as a child. I still would except it's hard to do that and hold down a job, for most careers.

However, I've moved 31 times in less than 40 years and I'm not in the military.

My husband who was a military brat moved 28 times.

 

[tazdev3225]

This is Easy - Philadelphia for my entire life, 64 years and counting. We do not count the dark year when we moved to North New Jersey when I was very young. My dad got black-balled everywhere he tried to get a job because he was a union activist and no one would hire him. We came back to Philly every weekend and holiday so we never counted it as living there. Within a year we were finally back in Philly for good.

 

[mrodgers]

Pennsylvania.

Whew, that was tough writing out that list, LOL.

I got a job after school close to home and have been there ever since. Moved half an hour out of town out in the country for 17 years of marriage and sadly now back in this pathetic town again.

I lived on a sailboat for approximately two years and traveled from Virginia to Trinidad and back to Florida, with stops at pretty much every state and island nation in between. Do those count?
