You know, there is something about Bode Miller that reminds me of skiing, party times, determination and attitude. Oh yah, now I remember. He fits the profile of a true RAIDER.
If I didn’t know that it is 2006 I would almost believe I returned to the 70’s and just met one of our National Ski Patrol guys.
This is the kind of skier that we should all be proud of. He represents everything a RAIDER stands for.
GO BODE.

LOL, that was our initiation for the new ski patrollers in GAP! 1/2 a dixie cup of Stroh's, drink it without stopping! I remember when Bruce Raymond had to do his, he puked out the window and his false teeth came out and shattered 3 stories below!

WAYNE: Good question............just where does one look? I wish I could help you but don't have any answers. I know of only one that used to know (Gisela Gunther - Frankfurt) is more than likely long gone to the big entertainment center. Google is the greatest “tool” other than this web-site. What when they started shutting down places like Berchtesgaden, Chiemsee, McGraw Kaserne, etc. I wonder if AFRC kept a history file? I have asked around USAREUR and they have nothing. I was interested in getting “footage” of the old AFRC 16mm films that were sent to the field locations (i.e. Graf, Hornsfield, Baumholder, etc.). They don't have a clue. Maybe some of our RAIDER “readers” can help. JIM

One of the more entertaining persons in Berchtesgaden was Dave Nicol an MP, as he was a magican. Everytime he walked down the strasse he turned into a gasthaus. Dave (giggle)

I remember doing shots of Stroh's rum with Andy Mills and Mahre brothers during the 78 world cup!

Ouch!! I remember 'the next day' on the Hausberg, after the ski patrol initiation party which was held in the Air Force digs where Rick and Brad lived. [76 or 77 maybe?] I'd managed to stay away from the Stroh's Rum all night, and the next morning I went skiing as usual. After a run or two, the major hangover and occasional conversations with the porcelain god took over from the skiing and I found myself in the Garmischer Haus, wishing that someone would just steal my skis so I could go home. I mean, it just didn't add up... I could hold more than a few beers, after all.... finally around lunchtime a ski patroller copped to the fact that they were 'priming' all the beer cups with a shot of tequila before pouring the beer into them.... guess they wanted to be sure everyone would get good 'n drunk.

James I am trying to locate the names of some of the entertainers/acts that performed in the Berchtesgaden/Garmish area in the early to mid 1960's, can you give me any ideas on how to search for this. I have been on Google for days with different combinations of wording to find what I am looking for but have not found anything. Any help would be wonderful. Wayne Fitzpatrick MPC Veteran 1961/1963
