For those of you who know us: This is our electronic Christmas Letter for 2006
As you will see, we are doing well; 2006 has been relatively quiet with
not too many surprises. We still enjoy family life and living in
Immenstaad.
It´s a pitty that up to now only my American friend Harvey and
myself are doing this kind of Christmas Letter of the 21st century. But
I still appreciate getting Xmas letters in last
century´s format by email or snailmail. . . that´s still better than
getting no live sign at all from old friends.
For Ulrike there have not been many changes. She is still employed at the German Red Cross and cares for old persons in Immenstaad who need help. Here is a picture of her during our vacation - like always in Cesenatico/Italy.
In 2006 I fulfilled myself an old dream of many years: Octoberfest in traditional bavarian outfit!
The year 2006 continued just like 2005 with medical treatment. Today - nearly 2 years
after the heavy skiing accident
I have to realize that some
small souvenirs of the accident will always remain. However, I am still skiing and
mountainbiking a lot - I cannot change some habits I like . . . .
I am still with the same company EADS;
due to a reorganization beginning of 2006 I got myself a new job and
experienced a couple of new interesting things. If you take the time to
look at my Travel Pages you know what I mean. (Photo taken in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia).
I am looking nearly authentic in the original Saudi outfit ?

After Miriam had "broken the tents off" in Stuttgart in 2005 in order
to move to Martin, they are living together in Markdorf (only approx.. 5 miles away from Immenstaad). It is marvelous that she
is now again in our proximity after 8 years of living in Stuttgart.
She still has much fun
and commitment in her occupation with the support of families in
social difficulties.
Not many news from our youngest son Christian. he is still enjoying the philosophy studies in Tübingen so much that he will probably stay in Tübingen forever . . .
The year 2006 at the Lake (Immenstaad):
