Bob was with the 601st at Rothwesten from 1948 until 1952

He was with the wire team. Here he is heating wax while working on a cable.

Wire team at work??

Wire team work took them to the remote sites.

Here Bob is at Winterberg.

Bob: "Since I speak a few lingos I went along with priest Father Hughes (left) to some displaced persons camps."

Building # 5

Bob's home at Rothwesten

A familiar place to a lot of us.

It was just up the hill from the mess hall.

Neil O'Riley and Bob Smith

They were boyhood friends.
Both were from Watertown, N.Y.

Since Bob was there before many of us, I think it would be interesting to see all of his pictures, etc.. I still have more to scan and he has promised to send more.
