I got fairly dangerous with my 'GI German' when I was

their gliders. I learned a couple of proper German
terms that pertain to soaring such as 'Lepo' and 'LS-Blei'.
And, of course, 'Bitte ein Bit!'

When were you stationed at Sembach? I was there in the early 80´s.

Bob,

I've sent you a private e-mail as it seems my answer
has nothing to do with OLC. But, in my e-mail, in
case you don't get it, I stated I was stationed at
Semback from late March 1983 through early April 1986.
The dollar hit 3.47:1 against the Mark and oh, I wish
I had the balls to have gone deep into debt to buy
a new LS-4!!!! I still whimper when I consider the
cost of a new LS-4 back then, in US dollars.
