My parents were both single and in the Army when they arrived in 1952. My father lived in the BOQ and my mother in the nurses’s quarters. They met in April 1953 and were married at the Post Chapel in October 1953. I’m not quite sure where we lived at the time, as I’ve only seen interior pictures of the dwelling. I assume it was either an apartment or duplex as my father was a captain then. I’m pretty sure I was baptized at the Post Chapel, since my parents pointed it out when we visited Fort McPherson in the 1970s.<br /><br />Perhaps one day we can do the Tyler Perry Studio tour together.Fort Mac Nativenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-2516330119577533782019-11-25T06:24:25.919-05:002019-11-25T06:24:25.919-05:00Also in the late 50's we attended Cantonment C...Also in the late 50's we attended Cantonment Chapal, the only exclusively Catholic chapel. However, briefly we attended Catholic Mass in the more historic Protestant chapel which Perry highlight in his video. Not sure why, maybe work was being done on the Catholic chapel. Fr. Allan J.

We lived just outside a secondary gate off of Stanton Road, 1836 Patton Drive, an apartment complex that looked like a project. Fr. Allan J.

If I ever want to go back and see my birthplace or where I was initiated into the Church, I’ll have to take the Tyler Perry Studio tour. I guess that’s “progress”.Fort Mac Nativenoreply@blogger.com
