Am struggling to find traces of where US military may have been housed in Pessac, and though the mention of a new school is a useful clue, in France in the post-War 1950s a lot of construction work was in progress on housing, schools, etc. Two districts of Pessac which may correspond are Magonty and Monteil (near Pape-Clément wine château). May be worth your while searching those areas on GoogleEarth/StreetView, to see whether any sights ring distant bells?
