Crailsheim

Perfect timing for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

A photo from early to mid 1950s or thereabouts.

 

That's my dad - the civilian in the lower right corner. He was the Principal of the base school at McKee Barracks and taught 7th grade as well. I was born in Germany during the time we lived at McKee in the 1950s.

 

I cannot be sure of the circumstances but those are base children dressed as 'pilgrims' on a thanksgiving-themed float of some sorts on a Crailsheim street.

 

There is a placard attached to the flatbed but I cannot make it out or if it's written in English or German for that matter.

 

Have a restful Thanksgiving Holiday everyone - We have much to be thankful-for.
