Potsdam Connection

About the Book

The post Second World War era maybe one you lived through: as you will read in this book, I was living in Germany and England at this time. Existing, rather than living would be an apt description of some of those times. Since then people often encouraged me to write a book as I relayed my stories and escapades of those times. Interestingly these stories or tales from my life are given credence by note worthy news events such as the falling of the Berlin Wall. So therefore , for my family, friends and acquaintances as requested and encouraged are my life stories and events chronologically recorded in this book. Events and travels to many worldwide countries, European events, my hobby of collecting antiques , worldwide holidays; my recollections of political events that affected me and especially my family life and travels all over America. This memoir and legacy, for the family may help fill the gaps in the knowledge of my life, as they read The Potsdam Connection.
