Comment from Narvik
Loved it, Bill. Your usual well-polished writing I remember so well.
Any of this autobiographical? I spent 3 years in the army in Germany, so this brought tons of memories. Our cat house was called the Licht, and the dollar was only worth two marks by that time.
As for the writing, it was your usual relaxed and smooth style. I felt I really got to know the characters.

The German(')s seemed to enjoy it
Thanks for posting this, Bill.

Hi Erik - too much embellishment to list as non-fiction, but pretty darn close. Thanks for the spots. Bill
Comment from anabellapongasi
Bill,
This is a very good story. I was worried that Chuck might have gotten into the trap that many men think harmless. He almost fell and it would really be his fault because he went to Susie's, and then he went "upstairs"...Well he was victorious that first time, but if he ever did that again he would really be looking for serious trouble.
LOL.
Blessings,
Anabella

A fantastic tale, mainly devoted to fidelity, and men and women, even engaging in prostitiution can be normal, and have the same propensities, hopes and aspirations as anyone else.

This takes me back to when I was in the military some 25 years ago. This story takes me back to long ago when I was young and strong. Thank you for this.

Every girl has her own story, seldom is any truth part of it. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. There is very good imagery.

Hi Bill! Nice to see you posting! First, another really intriguing story, I bet based on someone you know or your reality? I see one nit, remove comma between Northern Alabama. Maybe not use cap for northern? I just watched an old movie "Tank" starring James Garner. 1984...HOW things have changed since then! Hope all is well in your world Bill. Suse
