I’m alive and well back in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. I was 50th ASUPS from 79-84.
Thanks for your post to the web site. If you have any pictures, stories or anything at all about Morbach please share them with us all.
Do you remember me? I was looking at Google maps to find the bomb dump and found the company that moved in to our old ammo dump. Somehow I found this Morbach web site. What a nice surprise.
I do not know if I can find the pictures I took during the four years I was there. 1975 – 1979.
I remember you had some kids. ( 2 or 3 )
I married in 1981 and have 3 kids of my own. I have 5 grandchildren so far and still working on more. Married for 32 years to Diana England.
Hope to hear from you.

Looking at the above list, I see an “Alvin Dark” listed in the late 60’s. I don’t know of an “Alvin”, but I do know that Robert “Bobby” Dark was there from 68-71. That would be ME. I’m alive and kicking in Oxford, Alabama.
Rich, you might want to add a few names: Dennis (Bub) Croy (late 60’s) and Walter D. Calvin (late 60’s) and David Nye (late 60’s). There was also William “Zeke” DeSorbo (I understand that Zeke is living in Texas and working at a hospital.
Robert
Hey Bobby!! Do you remember a guy named Ron Lantz?? I am now retired and living in Mineral Wells WV. I was there in the early 70’s and lived in the same village you did. Think it was called Hoxel. We used to go (Stompin) in the snowy fields in our VW’s there. I also remember Zeke and his fooseball. He sure was good at it.
Rich, I’m pretty sure John Sellers, from the motor pool, is in Salt Lake City if that helps. Sure enjoyed browsing the site. Seen a lot of names on here I remember. If anyone wants to contact me my email address is rrlantz@suddenlink.net.
Ron, you old dawg. Sure I remember you. I will never forget the time June dumped ice cream on your head for telling me the story about you and her dad shoveling snow from the driveway.
The Morbach Facebook page has lots of the folks you are looking for.

Just found the Facebook page
Hi! This is Tom Gowing (Munch) 1971-1973. Retired in 1990, now living in Mesa Az. Loved the days of good beer and great freinds.
bach Ammo in September 1967 with my family. My sponsor was SSgt McFeeters, I was temporily quaetered at the Maria Rahn fir the first few weeks until my quarters were ready on base, I was assigned to Shipping and receiving working for a SSgt Sams, Unknown to me at the time. mt arrival was not entirely welcomed by everyone. I was assigned base quarters upon my arrival, which was great for me, but… The quar0ters I was assigned was previously assigne to a SMSGT Caruthers, who was bumped to give me the quarters. I understand that he was waiting 18 months for that house. That did not go over so well, and to top it off, I was later assigned to Munitionas Control, a section he was charged with, I must admit he was a good sport about it and a very fair boss. I had the privilidge to serve with him later on in my career. Morbach was a veery memorible tour, I had the honor of working with very dedicated professionals. After Mirbach, I went on to complete a 23+ year career, I retired from the Air Force in June 1984. I persued a career in Computers and Electronics, I retired from Computer Sciences Corp as a Senior Field Engineer in 2009. I presently reside in Las Vegas, NV. I plan on providing Photos and more stories about Morbach.
hello robert g asbell morbach 77-80 50th mms have some old pictures would love to hear from the crews
Robert, Please send the pictures and I’ll post on the site for all to see.
i have been looking for jimmie johnson (late 50’s) also with no luck he was my sgt. at morbach, we were transfered from nuebeberg air base munich to hahn in the fall of 56 to open the ammo dump at morbach, then it was the 7372nd det.1 ammo supply sq. later changed to the 3139th ammo supply sq. our c.o. at the time was CWO-3 charles alan after he left it was 2 lt. mccormick we were housed at hahn, i still have a copy of our orders to go to hahn when we got there they didn’t even have bunks for us so we had a empty room and slept on the floor
wow….. i just saw what morbach bomb “dump” has become, it took me by suprise. i was there in 1992 and had alot of good times.
I was at 50th ASUPS 1979-1981….Living in New Mexico now.
Being Commander of the ASUPS was a great experience. I had good people working with me, both German Civilian and Military. My wife and I both enjoyed our stay at Hahn and in Germany. Our children learned to speak German and to enjoy a different way of life – something that has stayed with them and helped them in later life.
After we left Morbach I was assigned to AFOTEC at Kirtland AFB and retired from there. After retirement from the AF I worked for Sandia National Laboratory for thirteen years and for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for an additional fourteen years.
Donna and I are now retire and living in Manhattan, Kansas.
Congrats on what sounds like a successful working career. Thanks for sharing with us. We spent a week in Manhattan, Kansas one Sunday afternoon (to borrow from W.C. Fields.) Actually the reservoir was a nice break from Kansas in general. Just so happened the wheel bearing on our car went out there on a trip out to Colorado.
I arrived at Morbach in July 1966 as an A3C as a redirect from St Mihel France (Operation Freloc). I left in 1968 for RAF Sculthorpe. I returned in ’82 (Third European tour) and left again in ’85. I was assigned to Sugny while it was still under German control (Had to wear civies). I retired in 1990 and retired again in 2009 as a network engineer for the local hospital here in South Carolina. Morbach was still my best assignment but my three years in a 12 man detachment at CFB Lahr (Canadian Base in Black Forest) is a strong second).
Hello James A. Smith!
Could you tell me if you knew/met Sgt. Bruce Lee Bardin in 1985 – Sugny-Morbach?
It was my first boyfriend and since 3 weeks ago I know and saw his grave, then that he died on May the 10 in 1991. (the day of my birthday!)

My name is Shawn Wentz and I am the stepson in-law of James C. Chipps. I believe this is the same James Chipps that is on your list above. Unfortunately James passed away on 07/28/2013. He had a license plate on the front of his old Ford pickup that read IYAAYAS and I remember asking him what it meant. He was very proud to have served in the U.S. Air Force and was fond of the time he spent working in AMMO. I remember lots of bomb dump stories. He never had any kids of his own but has a stepson “Daniel Lacanne” 2 grand kids “Alexis and Brandon LaCanne”, a stepdaughter “Patty Wentz” and a stepson in law “Shawn Wentz”. Also several other siblings that I unfortunately don’t have any information on. He was a good man and will be missed.
I was at Morbach Ammo Sq from Dec 1968-Aug 1971. I worked in admin with Mark Steinhauser. Capt William D B Sweezey was my OIC.
Hey Bob. Do you remember your room mate Jack Lutz? The shooting range and meals at the rod and gun club?
Yo! I’m in Grand Rapids, MI.
i see you have Jimmy Johnson name spelled wrong it should be Jimmie Johnson
I live in Loxahatchee Fl. ahd work in Boynton Beach, Fl at Florida Power & Light Co. Been there for 34 years doing the same thing I did in Morbach. Kind of pissed that I didn’t stay in. Would’ve been retired years ago.
Danny, I you want to catch up with any of the old gang there’s a couple hundred on Facebook. Look for a group called AMMO Morbach.
My name is Chuck Cherryholmes I was stationed at Morbach from 1973 to 1976. In the photo of 50th Ammo from 1974 I am sitting on the ground just behind the nose of the Ammo bomb.
Where are you at now? I’m in Utah north of Hill AFB. You were on the storage and handling team. Right?
No sr, I was an inspector
Chuck cherry Holmes it’s your old roommate Joe Merritt get in touch with me joedmerritt@gmail.com it’ll be good to hear from you

I thought that I posted this earlier. Will try again………. We lost Walter D. Calvin in the 90’s. I found his obit in the Birmingham News. If I can find a copy, I will post it here.
helped close morbach would like some info or if anybody could put pics of memory book that was made
Chris, of you have pictures or a copy of the memory book I’d be happy to put them online. Of course, all original material would be returned to you.
Hey Richard J,
If I well understood, there is a memory book of Morbach, somewhere? How could I see it?
Thank you,
Caroline
Caroline, first mention of a memory book was Chris’s mention of it above. I have not seen one. If I get access to it I would like to share it here. Hope that happens,
Chris, been trying to find you since we closed Morbach back in ’95. I’m currently working at Edwards AFB as a civilian. Would love to catch up with you sometime. I might have some pics of us TDY closing some of the COB’s that we had.
Chris, Caroline Mardens here from Belgium, Good idea ! I would like too the same as you.
Nice end of week,
Caroline
Hey Bobby Got your email the other day. Not sure how to reply directly to you. When I hit reply, it seems to come back to this site. How about sending me your email address so I can email you direct. Thanks Ron Lantz rrlantz@suddenlink.net
It’s strange to hear comments about closing the COBs when we had worked so hard more than a decade earlier to open them. James A. Smith, SMSgt, USAF Retired (24 years RA) IYAAYAS!!!
Too true. So many times we expended so much energy to make things happen only to have them not ever come to fruition. I remember during the Reagan administration we jumped through our butts to bring various cruise missile sites on line, think Wuescheim as one of them, only to have them negotiated away a year later in nuclear reduction talks. But in so many of those instances the teamwork and camaraderie were priceless. And, being able to send 18 -20 guys to Denmark for a month, what an incentive program that was. Great memories.
Hey Smitty, Don Greenwood here. I was one of the first Morbach Sideloader operators along with Dave Drew and Lenny Seifert back in ’85-’86. I think you helped us keep those crazy machines humming, right?
Don, I was the Maintenance Branch Superintendent and coordinated the Denmark COBs. When they decided to take over Sugny, I went over there sort of incognito (civies and POV) and lived in Bouillon. Major Maguire wrote my order so that I could return to Morbach every two weeks (weekend) without breaking my TDY pay. There was lots of fanfare from the brass when we officially took over but lots of problems like no way to pay the local nations and our fuel and electric bill. If I had not been able to speak German and French, we would have been cold and in the dark by ourselves. I wanted to extend but MPC denied my request and sent me to Cannon AFB to run a 9 man CMU. I retired soon after. I remember Dave getting his super secret assignment against his wishes. “Schmidtty”
Sugny was a blast and staying in Bouillon at the hotel Chateu du Fort was the best. We were treated like kings by Gil and his food was simply amazing. All totally I spent about 12 weeks in Sugny. Also loved going to Nordholtz, Alhorn and the other northern Germany COBS. From 89-91 I ran Ship/Rec and was also a Senior Customs Inspector. During Desert Shield and our out load of Morbach I ran the railhead. I met some of the best AMMO troops at Morbach and I miss them all.
Hi Daniel (Smitty) !
Are you on Facebook? From when to when have you been to Sugny and the hotel du Château Fortof Bouillon?
Thanks a lot,
Caroline Mardens
I was part of the last crew to go to Sugny. LOVED it up there and Gil was fantastic! I still have the green log book that we used at the guard shack in Sugny. Man, the memories!
Gil was such a great host, I remember him having incredible full breakfasts for all of us at 4:30 AM before we left each day for Sugny. Him wearing his cowboy hat and singing country music even when he didn’t speak english tthat well! The Sugny and Denmark TDY’s were some of the most memorable times in my service. I was stateside after Morbach, stationed at Langley for the balance of my 4 years, then got out and joined the civilian world again. Been in the medical/ hospital supply chain / advanced logistics and enterprise executive sales world for since then. Settled into Orlando, FL where I am today. Never was able to track down many folks we worked with from the good ol’ Morbach days, but have a lot of good memories of Germany.
Thank you Don, Caroline Mardens here, from Belgium.
Did you met or meet Sgt Bruce Lee Bardin in Sugny and Bouillon (Hotel du Château Fort) in 1985? Are you also on FB?
Thanks a lot!
Caroline.
Caroline, I am on Facebook, Bruce Lee Bardin does not ring a bell. I first went to Sugny in late 1985 – early 1986.
Bruce Lee Bardin was in the Munitions Control in Sugny said me Helen Fountain…
Smitty, Tkx for your response, then if I well understood you,you mean that Bruce Lee Bardin, does remind you of anything? I think he was in the shop with the Husband of Helen Fountain in Sugny.
And they are a lot of Daniel Smitty Smith on FB ! Please, helpme on that!
Thanks Smitty !
Caroline
Luis Aguilar (Apr. 79 – Apr 82) Retired USAF and working for Uncle Sam in Miami, Florida. Just wondering if anyone has any information on Herman “Mudfoot” Knowles and Willis “Uncle Willy”.

Feel free to email me at jr0929@yahoo.com. I am also on Facebook as well.
Jeff, totally agree with your about the trips to Sugny, and all the other COBS in Northern Germany. Gil did treat us all like kings and the many games of UNO were just crazy wild. Would love to go back to Bouillon and visit. I was also on one of the last trips to Sugny. Matter of fact remember the Boars Head crest that was on the head shed. It’s hanging in my Garage. Everytime I look at it I just have to smile

Alive and very well. Boise, Idaho.
CMSgt Charles J. Talsma, retired was my father. We were at Hahn 1966-1969. He worked at the Ammo Dump, he was the First Sgt. Sadly he passed on Thanksgiving day in 2010. His last assignment was as Base SGT Major at Pease AFB, NH. He retired in 1978 in Dothan, AL. All 4 of his children followed in his footsteps.
If I remember correctly, your dad was the NCOIC of the Inspection Section. I worked in the same building but was assigned to the Maintenance Shop.
This reply I thought was being posted to a post for Richard Caruthers. That aside, Charles Talsma was my First Sergeant on being assigned to Morbach Ammo. I knew first hand he had a good sense of humor.

Don Greenwood
Hi Don. I still have the picture of you, Rich King, myself and someone else whom I can’t recall off the top of my head. Boy were we young….. 🙂 We had just finished Sideloader qualification. I think there were two of the locals in it too.
Hey, Norm. Yeah, we were young and reckless back then. I was looking at some old photos from a few of out COB TDYs. Oh the memories. Hope all is well with you. My e-mail address is dsmithmcse@cox.net if you ever want yo drop me a line. Take care and hope you have a great X-mas and an even better New Year

My father, Richard Carothers, is alive and doing well for 85. He lives in California.
If I remember correctly, your dad was the NCOIC of the Inspection Section. I worked in the same building but was assigned to the Maintenance Shop.
I was 7 when we were in Germany. I just
know we lived on base in those four story
buildings. We had a friend by the name of
Randy Jordan, who worked with my Dad
there. He had cancer at an early age and passed in Florida. We went to see him in his last days. He was a funny guy.
Dalton L. Jolley, I was stations at Morbach from Jan 1968 – Nov 1969. 46150. Left there for Viet Nam. Any of the old group still around? I am also looking for information on any and all citations and awards fro Morbach from 1968 till 1969.
I remember you Dalton L. Jolley. You were roommates with Walter Calvin and myself. Seems like you were blonde haired and from Texas.
That was me. Now I’m white headed and still from Texas. Know where any of the others are at?
Is Brad Knobel still owner of that bar in the town of Morbach? Nick name-Red.
Hi Jeff!
I am not the right destinary I think.
Did you know the Sgt Bruce Lee Bardin in Morbach 1985, based in Sugny.n Belgium ? Many tkx,
That’s me. Left there and went to Danang, Viet Nam in Dec. 69. Do you happen to have any pictures from that time line or know where any more of the guys are now?
I guess the list is getting smaller everyday and harder to find someone anymore.
John Parker – one of the Technical Escort team at Morbach from 66 to 69. Wish I had known of this site years ago…it is really a great trip down memory lane. The picnic picture of the man sitting on a beam of the shelter is of Gary Jolley, with his wife, Pat, sitting in the chair next to him. Our Tech Escort team had Gary, Bill Perry, Jerry Trimble (deceased 8 July 87), and me. I can be contacted at jparkerrealtor@earthlink.net. Now living in Colorado Springs, active in Prison Ministry. Had a great AF career, with Project Manager on airplane (F-15) and electronics systems development. After AF, worked in defense industry and aviation systems, and later with real estate in Colorado Springs, and now on an extended “vacation”. Time at Morbach was a high point of my AF assignments.
Thanks John. I was there from 67-thru the end of 1970. Left there for Vietnam, Davis -Monthan, Nellis, Takhhli, Kwang-Ju, and then went back to Morbach for a 2nd tour at the end of 1974. This time was also part of Tech Escort. Morbach and Hahn were definitely some of the best years of my career.
Does anyone remember a Randy Jordan? He worked with my Dad, Richard Carothers, and he was diagnosed with cancer, left Germany and went to Florida for treatment before passing. It would have been 1968-69? Really nice guy and funny.

You did indeed find yourself. Good hearing from you Ernie. This is Rich McVey, by the way, I live down in Ozark Mo. Will have to send you an email.
Good morning Rich, my brother was going through an old box and found some items you might be interested reviewing. 1 is article – 7236 beats the clock and the other are maps.
