Dear Mom and Dad.  Well, in this envelope you will mostly find pictures of the Bamberg O'Club.

Starting with picture #1 you will see what the front of the club looks like.

This is a shot of one side of it.  Those tall windows look into the main ball room.

Here is another picture of the front of the club from another angle.  That's the club truck parked out front.

Moving out into the back yard, you can see part of the patio.

Another shot from the back yard.  We are lucky to have a very pretty back yard.  There's a Barbecue pit just outside of this picture.  As you can see this club is much bigger than the one at Illishiem, although it is older.  the top floor, except for our own offices, are taken up by transient officer quarters.

this one was taken looking down a side street next to the club.  (the club is not in this pic.)  Note the APC going down the street.

 Very close to the officers club, we have this beautiful building.  Notice the graceful lines, and advanced design of this structure.  This is the BOQ where I live!

Inside my room now.  This is my "music center"  (the bookcase came with my room)

Lastly, we have a picture of a saber that I got when I left Illishiem.. It's engraved on the side and says:  2Lt Martin L Burrows

Dec 70- Apr 71

1st Bde 4th Armd Div

"First In Deed"

Everyone who was in the Bde. gets one when you leave, as long as you pay your dues to the "Flower and Cup" fund.

Well that's all for now.   Still waiting for my leave pictures to be developed.  

PS:  Took the opportunity while on leave to let my mustache start growing again.  Nobody's said anything, yet.
