We were close to Munich and, had the opportunity to walk around and observe the devastation. The German people went overboard to be nice to us, however their generosity was personally ill received. I had two great grandparents die in the holocaust. The devastation was very apparent when flying over the industrial cities such as Cologne. All in all an an unforgettable experience.

From Des Moines was Keith Mayfield, now deceased. Other one Phillip Goldstein, i don’t know where or what. You are correct, A26s’. I’m the one on the motor bike.
