Steve,
Thanks for the note. I reviewed the new
website re: Camp Forrest and found it very
interesting. Since my last email to you I
have experienced some changes. We no longer
live in Maryville, TN. My wife and I
currently reside in Harrisonburg, VA. I
still have the same email address.
Also, in 2006 my mother Geneva Adams passed
away. I miss her stories about Camp Forrest
and all the friends she and my dad made at
the post.
Do you know if Louis Buzek is still alive? I
tried to call him at the number listed for
him the 828-859-5570 number yesterday. I
thought he might know have known my father
M/Sgt. Charles J. Adams, since Mr. Buzek
worked in the Headquarters Office at Camp
Forrest.
Also, several years ago - 2003, or 2004 my
wife, mother and I visited Tullahoma and met
Bob Couch. Bob gave us a nice tour of the
older areas of Camp Forrest. My mother
really enjoyed this experience. Is Bob still
alive?
Steve - Just wanted to give you some updated
info, and ask about Mr. Buzek and Mr. Couch.
Feel free to add the updated info though to
my information.
Sincerely,
Lloyd L. "Lew" Adams
PS I passed your name and information about
Camp Forrest to Mr. Gregory Owens, who lives
in the Shenandoah Valley and has written a
book about a former German POW who was in
the mid-VA area during WW2. Mr. Owens said
he was going to send you an email. Mr. Owens
knows quite a bit about German POWs held in
the US during WW2 and the link to his book
would be very helpful to the people
interested in Camp Forrest, especially with
respect to the German POWs |

EXCELLENT SITE!!
My father M/Sgt. Charles J. Adams was a
part of the initial cadre when Camp Forrest was activated in Feb.
1941, he served as the Camp Sergeant Major for the duration of WWII.
He served with the Hq. Det, Section I, Service Command Unit 1457. I
believe this was a part of the Fourth Service Command. I have
several interesting photos of the post, my father, General Ben
Lear and the NCO club. Does anyone remember M/Sgt. Adams. If so I
would like to correspond with you.
Also, my mother Mrs. Geneva Adams served
as a civilian clerk to the Camp's Adjutant.
My father passed away in 1987, but my
mother is still alive and tells very fascinating stories about the
post.
