<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 5146492, member: 100459&quot;]I lived in Germany from 1953 - 1957.&nbsp; I was 6-10 years old.&nbsp; I saw the destruction in Germany after the war.&nbsp; We were fortunate enough to have a maid to help my mother with 4 children.&nbsp; We returned to France in 1964-1965.&nbsp; We lived in a very small town.&nbsp; The French people were the rudest people I grew to know.&nbsp; A American friend was renting a small apartment from a French family.&nbsp; When the had a baby, they were ousted from their apartment because the baby cried.&nbsp; We boarded them with our family.&nbsp; I attended my senior year of high school in Verdun, staying in a dormitory.&nbsp; On the night of my graduation, we were forced to leave France because DeGaulle closed all American bases so they could remain neutral like Switzerland. Germany had completely renovated their country.&nbsp; France still looked like a battleground.&nbsp; Sadly, all of my European coins from 1930&#039;s to 1960&#039;s were thrown out with my ex-wife&#039;s love letters.&nbsp; I have only a few that my father left me.</p><p>I can&#039;t wait to see collections from members.&nbsp; Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
