I ate plenty of meals there in the 70s when I was living near there with my family. I went to FIS (Frankfurt International School) just up the street from Camp King, for 3 years then moving down to Frankfurt High School for my senior year. I went back in 2008 and visited Camp King. It sure has changed and it is a shame the old Officers club is boarded up. The so called Mountain Lodge served as the Officers Club on Camp King from at least the 1960s through the 1980s.

And you are right - there was hardly anything to be found. But got lucky though as I was reading some church archives and found the address of the probably former guest house "Zum Weißen Roß". I am off by U-Bahn now to look it up. More later. I have just mailed the city archives to get more information. And you are right – there was hardly anything to be found.

We're actually having a small reunion of dependent children from that period here in Las Vegas at the end of April. We had the first one two years ago, in Mooresville, SC. I loved it there, grew up there, made lifetime friends there. My friends and I spent most of our time in two places. One was the Taunusblick, and the other was called "Zum Weissen Ross". The "Ross" was actually spelled with an ess-zet, but I cannot make one with this computer. In any event, I would like to know if "Zum Weissen Ross" still exists. I can find the Taunusblick with no problem, but I can't find ZWR. I'd love to have a picture of it. We used to drink with the Germans, and party with them, and we put down many a Steiffel there. Anything anyone can do would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Fred Schloss I was at Camp King from May, 1960 to July, 1964.
