You should have been with us. We had rack of Lamb with a 20 year old Marquis
Riscal. Nice afternoon.

I have a very good friend that flew for the Luftwaffe and 99% of the time, I
can deal with him and has attitudes about those years, but lurking behind the
pleasantness and warm feelings is the knowledge that there is still a small
photo of Hitler hanging on the wall in his den. When it gets to the point
that
this fact starts disturbing me again, I gather up the books and flight sims
and
head home, and try not to picture my friend as a glazed-eyed participant in a
mass of humanity, cheering their leader onward.

Skorzeny across the table would have really creeped me out! Glad the spread
was nice at least...

Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send your old photos to a
reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone.



I was in Madrid the guest of a French friend and his German wife. Good
manners were required under all conditions.

As well you were hoped, and I believe
Hoped to do. After all, the "war" had ended long time ago, and well,
IF healing does not start in that time, it does not.
I wasn't there, I admit that, and I did not have lunch with him.
My country was in war with Russia, alongside germany, but still, my
opinion on him is that he fought for his country, not for the
ideology.
(Some American's know what I mean, The leader is not your favouriite,
but it was OUR county that was attacked etc.)
