Post Closure Note
Got a nice note from a recent visitor I thought I'd share since it talks about the post shut-down. I enjoyed the mention of 1SG Donohue too - a great American, and the kind of NCO that made being a junior officer a whole lot easier. Anyone out there have any pics from the shut-down days/process? MJ
Mark - I had chills going down my spine as I viewed the images. I left Peden on March 30 1992 almost 1 week before complete shutdown. I was in C 3/35th FA in August 1990, 1sg Cook then sent me to SVC Btry 3/35th December 1990 (they thought I was smart) and worked in S-4 and was deeply involved in the shipping and transporting of all equipment and supplies to other barracks (Patton, Wurzburg and Parmesan). I will never forget the day all remaining personnel stripped the barracks. Tossing out wall lockers onto the ground outside. M998 (HEMMT) loading them up and taking them to other barracks. Railheading all the guns, (started in August 1990 with M210 8", then changed to 155 in 1991). I noticed in 1 picture of the HQ (attached to SVC Btry) the door was moved to face the street? It was on the left against the hill by main road.
I remember some names and you might recall some of them. CPT. Maton...CPT. Portaque...BXO Major Stanley...BC LTC. James B. Godwin Jr. (know this one, stood before him a few times)...1sg Donahue...SFC Amaro (Smoke)
You should Google Earth Peden now. WOW!! the FTA stripped and now farmland, you can see the three white lines where the connex's and guns were lined. Just strange
