European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 19, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Page 11 letters tragedy brought out the Best in people some time has gone by since the tragic Accident Atixhe Ramstein air show and operations at ram Ilein Ltd Ditull and All around the Community arc slowly getting Back to Normal but the memories of that Day will remain with Many of us for a longtime. I would like to thank each and every person in the Krisen lantern Community the staff at Ramt Teifel and the staff at Lan Stuhl for the help and assistance they provided the victims. The nature of the Accident and the number of peo ple injured precluded any one unit or person from caring for them All of necessity the whole Community had to become involved and they did just that. From the individuals at the scene who assisted others to safety or helped Ore for and transport the injured la those who offered to donate blood those who helped transport to Taplie and those who an swered phones or cooked food for the staff to the individuals at the medical clinic at Ramstein and Lite Hospital at Lan Stuhl everyone did their Best to see that the injured were wet Caird for As quickly As possible. As the head Nur of the emergency room at land stub army regional medical Center i can truly say that i could not have asked any More of my Tuff roof the numerous physicians nurses technician and others who showed up to offer their assistance. I believe the same held True for the volunteers at the scene and the Suffat the Ramstein clinic. The response was overwhelming and it Renews my belief in the genuine Good that is just this kind of response to someone in need that shows us How Well we can work together to reach a common Goat. In the time ahead there will be a lot of Renews of he events of the Day in Hopes of improving safety and care for future shows. Criticism May be Bard to accept when you feel you did All you could but it must be remembered that constructive criticism May help to save More lives in the future or prevent More accidents such As this one. I would Hope that every one in the Community keeps this in mind and accepts the criticism for what it can accomplish. All of you should be proud of the efforts you put Forth on that Day to help care for the victims of the crash and the continued support you have provided. You Are All very special people and i would like to sincerely thank you again for All the help you provided. Everyone was vital in the care of these patients and we could not have cared for them As we did without you. Your Effort did not go unappreciated. Catherine a. Obits West Germany to Alt the Unsung heroes who were first on the scene and to those that picked up the pieces those who gave of their skills time blood compassion and the shirts off their backs your efforts May never get you a commendation but they did not go unnoticed. There were hundreds who made an Effort to put right All that had gone wrong. Thank you thank you very much. May the Good lord bless you and help you restore your own peace of mind. So Little Hai been said about All these people. Even in my own dazed and confused Effort i was impressed by How fast and Well All concerned factions worked together German and american military and civilian. There was some confusion and contradictions but the Short length of time that it took to triage and transport All casualties and the cooperation Between All concerned was impressive it will take time to heal longer for the emotional pain than physical in some cases but with this kind of support and networking we will All come out of this. Thank you for the hands that reached out to touch the shoulders to lean on and the hugs when Energy seemed to be flagging. I suggest that everyone who was struck by this Day not hesitate to talk it out with others who were there Healing will be faster. Tech. Sgt Laura a. Burgess ramble in a West Germany Reader ferrets out truth on pet s habits my letter is in regards to a recent article tilled baby bitten by ferret 100 firs let me Tell you that i owned 3 ferret while we were stationed at fort Lewis Wash. He was the Best pet i Ever owned. We had to sell him before coming to Germany because we could t see him Tilting in a Long quarantine. You see some people get the wrong impression of ferrets from people like the writer of the article. Anyone who knows anything about ferrets can Tell you that they do not have any sharper Teeth or nails than the Domestic House cat. Thanks for responding to the typical Public relations people who reply to letters in the Stan and stripes be creative open your reply with something other than thank you for the Opportunity to respond to.,." such a clip Hal what s More the a Canbeal expression is As sincere As have a Nice Bill Brady Ramsten a West Germany i feel this writer had no knowledge of a ferret when writing the Story. 1 also had a Friend in Washington Olio owned two ferrets and hers were As tame As could be. Even the Little girl 1 watched for nine months played with them and no once did she get bitten. Ferrets Are like rodents. Given the Chance they will Chew on everything. I feel that when a person goes to Purchase a ferret As with any other am Mal he should be told of All the precautions concerning the animal. If you have already purchased a ferret you should know that it needs a 20 Lo-30-gallon aquarium for its litter food water and Blanket that it should be let out Only three to four hours a Day ferrets sleep about 20 hour Sand that it should get All shots just like a cat or dog would. And give it All the love you would give other pets. I feel that the episode with the baby is very sad but in my opinion it s the fault of the Parent for leaving the animal to roam the House unattended. I Hope this letter will Case your mind if you own a ferret or if you arc thinking about purchasing one. Tammy l. Fink Karlsruhe West Germany Ann Landers dear Ann Landers this is for is. In Oregon who said she became pregnant at 17 because she was emotionally an physically starved for affection. I do not agree with you statement that children from healthy families Don t have sex at an Early our 17-year-old daughter always received a great Deal or emotional support. There is no alcoholism in our family and no physical or verbal abuse but Linda takes birth control Pill and yes the has sex life. We have a close find Loving relationship and i am grateful that the trusted me enough to Tell me she thought she should be on the pit. Of course i wish she had wailed but let s be realistic teen Neeri do have Kex and they have been hav ing it since the world began.

Dears the letter that sparked your interest rest Lent in a mail overload. Here s Mother one. Dear Ann Landers i too started to have sex when 1 was 16. But it was t because my family did t give me adequate emotional support. Was taller than most of the boys in my class had freckles and wore braces for six years.
