My name is Mark Crawford and I was the 1st SGT of 22nd Signal Brigade until we closed Camp King in 1992. A wonderful place to live and work at.
Excuse me but this podcast is no longer working…you only get as far as across the road from the u-bahn and it cuts out. Do you have the complete mp3 anymore? Could you please email it to me? Ta muchly!
Hi Angela, thanks for letting me know. I’ve re-uploaded the MP3 file so the player and download links should be working again, although you may have to re-load the page first.
