   Meine Frau und ich lebten hauptsächlich in Franken: Bamberg und Katterbach. Ich habe viel zeit im raum Reinland-Pfaltz verbracht. Ich war Seelsorger der US-Armee (Evangelisch). Wenn die welt nicht verrückt ist, hoffen wir, nach Memmelsdorf und Bruckberg zurückzukehren.

    I am a (retired) US Military Man. I have lived all over the world. I also have a talent for languages. So, wherever we (wife and I) have lived, I have picked up the language. That’s about it.
