Dad married my mother, a local German girl (Annemarie Dettweiler).  They are retired in Moss Point Mississippi and will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in July 2008.  I hope this is helpful and will enhance your website.  Dad really enjoyed the site and has shared it with the family in the states and Germany.  Thanks for your hard work.

New Photographs of what became of the 6901st. Identification follows. Perhaps you can figure out what you are seeing. Pictures compliments of  George King - 202 - Zwei Aug 64 - Apr 66. These are large files so give them time to load if you are on dial up. With a broadband connection they will snap.

These pictures are as if you left the ops entrance and turned right, walking to the barracks road and then to the mess hall.

Picture the ops entrance (262) - walk up past the building that housed the mail room where you crossed the main road and down the steps to the barracks road (264 -266 - 267) continue down barracks road and look right (268 - 270 - 272) continue on down to the gym and look right (273) then look straight ahead to the theater (274).

 262 - Ops entrance

264 - Standing on main road to town between ops and barracks. There is a traffic circle there now.

266 - Same location as 264, looking toward barracks road. There use to be steps here before you crossed the road to the mail room.

267 - Same location as 264 and 266 looking down barracks road towards the mess hall.

268 - A few yards from 264, 266,267 on barracks road looking right.

270 - A few yards down from 268 further down barracks road looking back to ops.

272 - Same location as 270 looking back up barracks road.

273 - Standing on barracks road in front of gym looking toward MP station.

274 - Same location as 273 looking at movie theater with athletic field on left and mess hall on right.

The Zweibruecken American High School Alumni Association (ZAA) was formed to promote a spirit of alumni unity, community and camaraderie through communication and reunions among alumni; location of alumni and acquisition and maintenance of school memorabilia; and to represent the high school in historical events. Students who attended ZAHS at anytime are welcome as are educators, parents and those who were associated with the high school.  ZAA's role in preserving our history will take on greater significance when the American Overseas Schools Historical Society opens it's museum in Wichita, Kansas in the future.  ZAA's website is www.zweihigh.org and AOSHS is www.aoshs.org
