HI Nexalizer, thank you for the very warm welcome and the kind words! I wish I could be in Europe after April (or anytime, for that matter!)
Some of the best days of my life were when I was a Paratrooper in Wiesbaden ('63-'65) and if I allow myself, I can get really nostalgic about the places I visited and lived in, and the people I met while I was there. But, Alas, 'tis not in the cards I fear, so allow me to say that I'd be honored to host you, should you find yourself in the US in the next couple of years. Send me a PM if your circumstances send you in the direction of Florida's Emerald Coast (with it's sugar-white beaches!)
And I am quite looking forward to my first (and subsequent) trip. I've been preparing my mind for the event for over 35 years!
And [USER=6976]@Limeni[/USER], thank you equally for the warm welcome and the kind words. You, and the others have made me feel very warm and happy, not to mention welcome!
As you may have noticed, I'm not able to spend a lot of time on line usually, but the time I spend here is not only very happy time, surrounded by warm, friendly souls, but is also filled with useful information! In other words, Priceless!
Thank you all very much from the bottom of my heart!
Bart
