At any rate, how nice for you to be able to talk to the gentleman!<br /><br />A few years ago a cousin came from Germany to visit me. She was in a grocery store somewhere near a beach in Florida and ran into a woman who had emigrated from Germany decades earlier. It turned out the woman was from my hometown and knew our grandfather.<br /><br />I'm so excited I can see the story and am able to comment.
