Giessen and Kirsch Goens

Giessen and Kirsch Goens

Well, this is what we came for.  Jim wanted to go back to the Army base that he and Greg served at 40 years (ouch) ago. With a lot of luck, we found the spot. Most of the buildings are gone, but the main gate was still there.  We asked the security guard if we could come on the base and take a picture, and he was a bit rude, to say the least.

That didn't stop us at all.  We went back to the main gate, put Greg's picture up on the fence, and left some of his ashes to fly into the wind.  I just can't describe the emotions for all three of us.  We went into the next small town, bought some flowers and went back one more time.  I still believe Greg is sitting on our shoulders, guiding us a long, and giving us the most beautiful weather.
