I was sent to a little town called
Balingen, not far away from Stuttgart.
married my wife Lore in 1982 and we had our first son in

go before retirement.
Last trip to the US: shortly before my marriage in 1982. Spent a
few weeks with my host family: the Dallas family. They left L.I. and
now live in Delaware and Baltimore area.
