Mainz (IPA: [ˈmaɪ̯nʦ]) is a city in Germany and the capital of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

    I was stationed at Lee Barracks from May 1981 - Feb 1982 with the HHD 106th Transportation Battalion. The unit relocated back to Azbill Barracks in Ruesselsheim shortly after Mar 1982 once remodeling was completed on the battalion headquarters building.

    I also have great memories of Muha. 86-89. I learned to speak English at this school. My ESL teacher was Mr Chaffin, Mrs Beareau was my 5 th grade teacher. I also went to Wiesbaden Middle School where I learned and fell in love with geography, Mr Dunn was an incredible teacher.

    What's up Dana? I lived in MUHA from 75- 78 my name is Michael Wilson and my siblings Adrian, Tracy, Cheryl and Pam. We lived one building down from you.
