Stayed at the Patton as a 12 YO in winter '68. Dressed up for dinner, had scallops for the first time in the grand dining room. Waltzed (Mom taught us in the living room at Dambach quarters, prior) with my 9YO sister to a live "combo". (It was as much fun as Mom said). It was a segregated army then*. Got hooked on skiing then too. '79 - 82 stayed occassionally at the Patton (mostly ended up at the Von Stuben) on our trips to the Zugspitz. Returned with MRFL in summer '90.
