Many thanks to the response to my plea and here is a bit more information Howard White the husband was born in Arizona, He served in the US Army, in Korea, The Pentagon, a recruiting office in Montana, Got married in Montana, When he left HQ Comlandjut, he was posted to Fort Ord in California. His wife Phylis (maiden name unknown) was of Finish extraction, and was a cheerleader. Her two children were named Daughgter Debbie (Deborah) she was born in the USA, and the son was born in Rendsburg Schleswig Holstein. and named Charles. I have tried the German records for births at the Krankenhaus in Rendsburg, but they did not keep a record of births for US military personnel. Nor could I find anything from the US Army Hospital in Bremerhaven. Any help in tracing either Howard or Phyllis, or better still both, would make a friends dream come true as they lost contact through a sudden posting whilst in the army PLEASE REPLY OFF GROUP Chris
