(?) I am re-signing to add my URL thanks Carl Dear Jean I wanted to take advantage to re-enter your
guest book to see if my minimally created home page would work. If you read this
would you send me the name of your book if infact it has been placed in print
regarding the Rancho Buena Vista. Thank You Carl Banke Jean, Hi, great site, fascinating subjects! I see you are
another interesting, multitalented, individual from a long line of them. :) A
linage which my two sons, Paul and Charles Walters, your great nephews I
believe, are fortunate enough to be included among. I'm Mark's ex, and though
we never actually met while he and I were married, I heard many wonderful
things about you from him, Nan, and Toddy during my years living at Buena Vista.
It's funny but just yesterday I was saying to my oldest, Paul, that its
unfortunate that no one's written a book about the Col.'s life and the old RBV
days, and then I stumbled onto your site! Good for you, and for sure I'll be
reading your book(s) ASAP! Feel free, if you wish, to respond anytime to the
email address listed here. Sincerely, Diane Walters WAS IN GERMANY FROM 1946 THRU 1949 AS A DEPENDENT CHILD
OF A COL. FIRST STATIONED IN FRANKFURT THEN IN HEILDERBURG. STILL TRYING TO
LOCATE MY FIRST GIRLFRIEND MARY EVANS. SHE WAS ALSO A COL. DAUGHTER. Dear Jean, We have not read your Book, though as we wrote
an e mail to you (and thanks for your response) we have visited the Rancho
Buena Vista several times. As well as planning 1 month there in Dec/Jan of
2001/2. You have a rich history and seem to be a gracious lady. Thanks for
sharing as you do. Your remote friends. Carl & Julieta Banke Enjoyed your website...My Dad was stationed in
Karlsruhe,Germany from 1959 to 1962. I just happen to come across your site in the
search for Karlsruhe... I am gathering info (seeking) on my grandfather, Herman
H. Spoede, who I believe was Provost Marshall of Germany after WWII. I came across your site while looking for rosettes. I
have just started collecting recently and would like to read your articles. I
also look forward to reading your book. Great site! Where can I find a copy of
the article(s) on rosettes? can anyone email me facts about her, I got a report on
her and I need them, well thanks My Grandfather, Ray Whitaker, was an MP in post war
occupied Germany. I to have written a book, "I Can Hear The Guns
Now", but it is about my father's time in WW II. He was only in the Army
for 8 months from his induction to his wartime death in Hurtgen Forest, Germany.
He wrote 84 letters home and and I have put all of them in the book, just as
they were written. This story is told from a very personal viewpoint of how WW
II affected one man and his family. Please look at the book's website:
WWW.ICANHEARTHEGUNSNOW.COM for more information about him, me, and how to order
the book. I am donating $2.00 from the sale of each book to The National World
War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Respectfully yours, Thomas G. Ratliff Greetings from a fellow author! I am in the process of
publishing my autobiography also. Born in l938 and raised in the USA during the
"all things German are bad" phase, my geneology research
(Czech/German) discovered ten years of hand written letters from Leipzig
l945-55. When translated, these letters give graphic descriptions of war torn
relatives begging for food, shoes, fat, coats, etc. from my grandfather, Wm.
Vogler of Cleveland, Ohio. They describe amputations w/little medication,
babies born during the bombing raids of Dresdon/Leipzig, mothers seeking potato
skins from farmers, anything edible to sustain their families. While
confronting my own struggles (health/divorce), these voices pointed out the
need for inner strength. I cannot wait to read your book, I hope you will look
for mine; MAKING WAVES IN THE GENE POOL. Thanks, and good luck, Carol Vogler

enjoyed visiting your website and viewing your photos. I see you were quite a
charming young lady! What a life experience to have been living at that
historic time in world history and then how kind of you to recount it for the
rest of us so we can see the world through your eyes. Bravo! I love it! Thanks
for your willingness to share! Best regards, Kara Afrates, a sister in Alpha

sharing this - this is such an elegant site and your book sounds truly
interesting. You've got a very beautiful mare, too! Good luck to you and all
the best. We need a book on the variety kinds of Bridle rosettes. I
love to collect them and wanted to know more about the history of each of them.
Have you ever thought about that? Hi Aunt Jean, this is really impressive! The site looks great.

Hi! We finally found some time to get on the web and visit some of our favorite
pages. We have been working hard training our new foal
"Windy's Choice" and upgrading our own web pages. You are
invited to stop by and have a good look, sign our guest book, and if you
have a banner or picture to link back to your web page from our guest book. We
are looking for more articles for our Equine Health pages if you can suggest an
author and subject I will try to include it in the near future. came across your page in error but just had to add my
name on the guest list well done Hi Jean, Your book looks extremely interesting. I will
have to order a copy to read. My grandpa Baumann came to the states before WW2
broke out. He took a trip back to visit his family in Stuttgart(sp?), Germany
just before the war broke out. He had 12 other siblings. On his way back, the
war broke out as the boat pulled into the harbor and there was some
consideration as to whether or not to let him into the country again, but they
finally did. He took one "N" off the end of his name because he said
it looked too Jewish. Do you know why that would be since we are not Jewish at
all? Any info you might know about this would be helpful to me as I am trying
to research and find any relatives we may have in Germany yet. Thanks! Lesa Great Site. I have my own e-mail now. Write when you can.
The email address is under my sisters name as I don't
have one. How do you get a guest page so I can set one up for me and my sister.
