Hallo , Bruce ,
I remember your funny visit at Fehmarn in Gustav `s very interesting Home
well .
I`ll turn him up to a honorable "Milwaukee - Firebrigade - staff - leader"
( his bottom makes a notable figur ! ) and will take a foto .
At Friday we `ll go to Fehmarn and will have a funny weekend - May 1. -
and
have a huge fun by burning down the big May - fire backsides our village
Bannesdorf - grilling and quenching with bear and singing as long as
possible !!At May 1. I `ll have the 45 annuary of leaving school and will meet most
of
our class coming to Fehmarn from distant regions of the world .
Did you get my Picture from the Rahlff - Home at Klausdorf - I mailed you
at
Nov.09.03 ?
Now I `ll wish to you allways a good fire and a small ladder dredger to
quench it !Your Fehmarn Friend and distant cousin too - I have a lot of Rahlff /
Rahlf ancestors in my line -"Volker vun`n Knuust"
