In 1967 while serving with the Air Force in Ankara, the capitol of Turkey, Fred met the late Mechtild Susanne Elisabeth Wienhues of Gelsenkirchen, Germany, who was visiting mutual friends, Johannes and Eva Huber, in their apartment on the grounds of the German Embassy.

Their assignments together included Colorado Springs, Colorado; McClellan AFB, Sacramento, California; Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan; Travis AFB, Vacaville, Calif.; Incirlik Air Base, Adana, Turkey; and Hahn Air Base, Germany. In 1983 M. Susanne E. Beisser died in Blankenrath, Germany in a fatal traffic accident. Eventually, Fred and the children returned to the USA, coming to Lowry AFB, Denver, Colorado for a final assignment at the Air Force Accounting & Finance Center. In January of 1989 Fred retired from the Air Force.
In 1990 Fred was appointed Chief Financial Officer of DCX, Inc., Franktown, Colorado, and later promoted to Vice President--Finance & Administration.

Fred also holds a PhD from American International University of Canoga Park, California, and was a Colorado certified public accountant for many years. He is fluent in English and German and also speaks Turkish.

In my research of a Cheyenne WY Pioneer, I came across the 1866 History of Denver by Wharton. There-in lies an account of Larimer's construction of his home and his influence in naming Denver. I've appended the reference to the "flowers" section of the profile you have registered. Very good biography, Fred. | | | David Wend
 | RE: Robert Merrill
Thanks for your reply. I found it is difficult to make a memorial famous. I have two - Jean Francaix and Paul Paray that I keep changing to famous.
Best wishes,

 | Gen. William Larimer
Hi. There seems to be some confusion as to where General William Larimer, Jr. (1908-1875) is buried. You have him in the Leavenworth National Cemetery and someone else has him and his wife (Rachel) in a cemetery in Pennsylvania with a photo of the headstone. Any chance the two of you could figure out which is correct? Thank you. - PatriciaAdded by Patricia on Mar 03, 2012 6:03 PM | | | Bobby
