Saudi Arabia 1977-1980

In 1997 Helga’s husband Hans had retired from the US Air Force.  Hans took on a job with Northrop that required him to work in Dhahran Airport in Saudi Arabia.  Helga and her son, Christopher, accompanied him on this adventure.  The three of them lived in compounds managed by Northrop in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia from September 1997 to March 1980.

There are four compendiums.
