Guido,

So nice hearing from you again. You have been missed!

Joanne learned to speak more German than I because she loved the little local shops to buy her clothes. The store clerks treated her as royalty.

We had a tiny bakery on the corner and we would buy fresh, warm brochen many mornings before leaving for work.

Our second son, Don Junior, was born at the Army's 20th Station Hospital in Nurnberg which was about a mile from our apartment. Joanne would walk to her pre-natal appointments.

Kesselring Brewery was very near and IIRC, a case of 20 half litre flip-tops was only DM10 ( $2.50 ) delivered and we kept them very busy.

A German couple, Michael and Jeannette Sharf, recently sent pictures of the apartment we had in the late 60s and it still looks great. A newer shopping center is now nearby and the bakery is gone. Likely moved to the shopping center.

Wonderful memories.
