Hi Willy and Cor

Hey Willy Cor is right. Of course the sign [BANHOF] makes you believe it's German.

Hi Ken

No not Bochum. It's the train station in Ham.

It's Hamm Germany!!!  Grin. I found a simular picture on Google Images Search. I won't admit that I was ever in Hamm.  Wink

Hi Burke

Hamm Germany in 1962! I went with a girl who was from Hamm and I could tell you some wicked stories about Hamm but I won't. Ohh the battalion would laugh and laugh if they ever came out (or maybe cry).
lololol

Should we meet at the Kingston reunion in 2008, we will share those stories discreetly.  Grin
