well when we arrived to Ankara, we moved in the apt below the Brunsells..in the Gazi Area.. and then later were able to find our own place or my father did on Valli Docotr Resit Blvd turned into Ataturk Blvd Downtown... i know we were next to the Russian Emabassy..seem scary to pass by it when we would walk to the uso shows and or movies or the library upstairs in the same building the shows where in.. and seem we had to take a bus to school and my father took us to the AFEX on the weekends for shopping or we sat in the little restaurant.. or over in the bookstore..everything seem to be in a different part of the town..you took a bus to go to the hospital or to the shows or to go to the bowling alley...which seem to be the parent's big thing..the Turkey Trots .. lol.. and you took a bus for the long trip out to the area to swim so we wouldnt offend anyone in our bathing suits..man my father took movies of everyone on that beach area swimming and just laying around and walking around..i dont even know half the people in that movie..but then i see some of my girl friends i made over there wow what memories...

had to reply to my own note on where we lived and places...i remember the cabs all those cabs..to the officer club to meet your parents and then go home..while they stayed on lol.. going to the markets and the streets full of people...i got so excited i misspelled..some words sorry...my sister penny is younger than i am and she remembers things alot clearer than i and my brother was younger jerry...but we all three remember what we each did there and what we experienced..and our friends.. never thought i would ever see this...or even hear other people talk about a time in my life i thought was gone and dead..but it did happen.. thank you lyn for contacting me last week..was it that soon ? my gosh .... will i find anyone i knew? i hope so...
