Ramses, thank you for replying. I am glad to hear that Bernd has found stability in life. I liked him a lot, and felt so bad for him on our missions.



I did not hear of him disappearing before I was assigned with him in Kassel, and he did not do so during the 5 months we were together, so it must have happened afterwards. I think he had 4 or 5 more months to go after I went home and Keith McMullin was MP at the time. I know nothing about that man as he had been prez a whole 9 days before I left.



My memory may be playing tricks on me, but I *think* I knew a missionary who came from Duisburg - or was it Essen - when I was in Hoechst. His name was Hülsewiesche. Do you know him by chance? I remember two things about him: he wrote looooong letters to home, and he taught me some silly animal poems, of which all I remember is 'liebe libelle wohin fliegst du so schnelle?'. Oh, and he introduced me to the comedian Otto. Oh, and one more thing: he was very excited when I first spoke English around him because he said it was so amazingly clear and easy to understand. He surmised, correctly, that I did not come from Utah, especially rural Utah. lol
