Chic Silber said...: Thanks Sue & yes I do remember

him & now have a mental image

of Gerhardt as well (sure hope

you & Rudi are doing well)

That whole "Williams" crew were

very able at a variety of tasks

Totally self reliant although

"slightly" aloof to start out

I made friends with quite a few

of them after a short while

They ALL understood English but

many of them denied it at 1st; 10 July, 2014 12:44
