How coincidental. I was in OCS and my wife was in an apartment in Oxen
Hill from August '66 to Feb '67. But, I got home only two weekends in
the six months, and I don't recall that nasty Rambler. We had a dark
green '65 Mustang six-cylinder which could carry everything we owned!

Dennis Grove?


You lost me.

Dennis Grove was an apartment complex where a lot of GIs lived


Could well be. Like I say, I helped my wife move in, and then I went
to Ft. Belvoir. From the apartment we could watch planes coming in to
National, and there were a bunch of them there, with a water tower
close at hand. There, that's the extent of my knowledge of the place.
I got to spend a grand total of about five nights there during my six
months of OCS. Needless to say, I had other things on my mind than the
name of the apartments.
