Fantastisch - Super - unglaublich! Ich fühle mich um Jahrzehnte zurück versetzt. Ich habe viele der Sendungen "notgedrungen" Gehört, als Ich als kleiner Bub (zwischen 7 - 10 Jahre alt) Gast bei der Familie Pelz am Schreiberweg (vis a vis der WOFA) übernachten durfte. Die Stärke des Senders brachte es mit sich, dass man kaum eine andere Station hören konnte.

Bin begeistert, dass man solche Tondokumente aufbewhrt hat!

I joined BDN late 1950 and worked my way up to Chief Announcer under Col. Tidwell. I considered re-upping in 1955 but the future seemed not to continue because of the agreement with the Soviet to call it quits . To me that meant the end of BDR Salzburg. My decision was to leave. It broke my heart to leave something that I loved so dearly. Thanks to you I can re-live old and dear memories! They were the BEST years of my life.Thanks most sincerely, Sam Buono.

In the fall of 1954 I joined the Salzburg Soldier Choir or Chorus. We went on tour the month of December singing in all the cities where we had camps. In Vienna we sang with the Vienna Choir Boys in a concert. We were in the BDN Concert Hall and I was told that we were broadcast all over Europe and also recorded. At the time it didn't seem important but but now it would a near priceless thing to have. I have three nice colored photos taken at that event by our Director Sam Spence's

Hello Walter:

Your web page popped up a few months ago, and I talked with Bill for more-than an hour by telephone about BDN, Austria, and you.
Bill had many good things to say about you and your work with the USFA/BDN story.
From late in 1952 until October 1954, I was with BDN Linz.
Next year, I'll contact you.
Until then, have a good New Year in 2013. and Keep Smilin'
