The Dackel Association is composed of those students who attended Frankfurt American High School, Frankfurt, Germany, from October, 1946, through June, 1950. Students from 1946 to 1950 make up the earliest year group of Frankfurt American High School Alumni. In 1946 the Seventh and Eighth grades were also a part of the high school and so we have included the classes of 1951 and 1952 in our activities. Our membership is based primarily on those who attended in the earliest years but now includes interested alumni from later classes. The Dackel Association, named after the Frankfurt American High School year book from 1947 and 1948, was formed at our first reunion in 1997 in San Antonio, Texas. We have held fourteen more reunions in various cities across the country since then, Our next reunion, hosted by Jane Gardner Rappoport, FAHS '48 and her Husband Allan, will be held in San Diego, California, 6 to 10 September, 2012. For an e-mail version of the registration forms when available, or information, contact Reunion Vice Chairman Jim Skaggs, jdskaggs@cox.net.

Of the approximately 250 students at Frankfurt American High School during the 1946-1947 school year, we have found about 160, and we are still in the process of trying to locate the rest. For the years beyond that first year we are not sure of all of the names and numbers of students who attended each year. Since there are few existing records we need all of the assistance we can get to help us locate our missing classmates. We are looking for members of the faculty for those years as well.

If you attended Frankfurt American High School as a student, or as a member of the Staff and Faculty, during the years mentioned above, you are automatically a member of the Dackel Association. There are no dues. Others who are interested, or have a connection with the Frankfurt American High School in the late 1940's and early 1950's are welcome to participate in our activities.
