Several months ago, between fighting a cold and packing for a short trip to Mallorca, I took an impromptu walk through the former US military Camp King, Oberursel.

Our teenage daughter got to experiment with her new camera in filming this short walk around the former military post. We had to do a lot of editing as many scenes showed my back only instead of the more interesting changes around the area.

This was my first time on film as well, and I learned it is quite a challenge to talk informatively to an imaginary audience.

For a better and more informative version, I have invited Mr. Kopp, our Camp King Historian, to join me on the next walk this coming Sunday, 14. April 2013.

The following questions have been contributed by a former soldier, stationed at Camp King in the mid-70s. Thanks Mr. F.!

Does Mr. Kopp have a website for his archives of Camp King history?

Have they decided what to do with the Mountain Lodge building (Officers Club) up on the hill?

Is the Chapel still holding services?

Our son, on break here with us from the University of Nottingham, will take over the filming and hopefully the editing, too.
