sure- in my eyes and in Willi´s as well when we were saying goodbye. You know- to get these two together toke out a lot of corresponce, free time,vacation, a few bucks and lot of understanding from my wife. But NOTHING CAN´ T BEAT THAT FEELING WHEN THEY MET. We spent there 2 hours in the pub where usually former German fighters from Thüringen (a part of Germany where Willi lives) meet and it was for a very first time when some American, a former enemy, went there. I still can´t believe it. This way I wanna thank to Willi Reschke, his son, Joe Owsianik, all my friends and my family for supporting me... Nice weekend
