Remember, I'm a born tourist.  The reason God put me on this Earth was
to tour and see the world.

Stuttgart was more than just another tour - it was my last overseas
tour.  As such, this was the assignment in which my "tourist" disposition
really came to the fore.  The top two pics are of a couple of my more
favorite places in Stuttgart, itself.  Both are right downtown on the main
square.  But Stuttgart was, for us, no more than a main base from which
to stage trips - almost every weekend saw us somewhere around southern
or central Germany - The Black Forest, Swabia, the Alps, the Rhineland,
where-ever.  This page is loaded with a few pics of our more favorite
places, most of which we re-visited regularly.

Before we begin the actual tours that we took - I thought you might want to see the "official"
reason that we were in Stuttgart.  Officially, I was stationed at Stuttgart Army Airfield
with OL-RG, Det-1, 6910th ESW.  Our unit was attached operationally to the 2nd MI
Battalion, VII Corps, US Army.  The shield, center-above, was our unit shield, the left-above
pic is the VII Corps patch, and the patch right-above is the logo for 2nd MI Btn.  The two
RC-12D's shown here are representative of the airborne component of our little family.  The
ground-based component, where I actually worked, is the bottom-right pic.  I took this shot
from the open door of a "Huey" chopper, right over our dish antennas.
