Hello, our new friend from Bavaria. 30 years ago I was stationed in Pirmasens, While I was stationed there, I went to school to become a Jager. I still have my Jager Schein. I shot drilings on the range, and did game harvest plans from a hochsitz. The Germans did not use black powder back then 1969. Weidmanns heil from Indiana.

Spent a fair amount of time years ago in Munich and Augsburg. Been to Baden-Baden a couple of times. Beautiful country.

I spent a few weeks in Augsburg during a trip for work. Beautiful place.

Welcome from the foothills of southern Appalachia.

My late wife's family immigrated from Bavaria to Cullman County Alabama in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In the 1990s there were still many senior citizens who spoke German when at home and English in public (for non-natives like me). Definitely one of the nicest places I've lived.

Until recently Cullman was dry but they still had their yearly Oktoberfest celebration.

When I was there not only did they have Oktoberfest, but the priest at Sacred Heart Church was the one who drove a big truck and several men to the JeffCo. line to pick up a huge load of beer and ice. I think the Father (can't remember his name now) was the designated driver, because some of the brothers who went to load the truck would be in a real good mood when they got back.

I'm not being critical in any way. I loved the town, the people, the culture and Sacred Heart (even though I'm not catholic or real religious). Apologies to Powder Flask Collector for hijacking his thread, but Bavaria brought back some wonderful memories.
