Hi John,
You may or may not remember me, but I am currently in Germany (Dresden)with my oldest son. We are visiting some of the sites we visited in what was the DDR (Dresden, Leipzig) before we go on to Prague. Our trip is ending in Marburg where I want to also revisit old stomping grounds. Would be great to hear from you.

I was in the group of Marburg Students from the year 1976-1977. I came in with fellow alum Tobias Schoenwandt. We had an incredible time. The event was fabulous. The food and beverages as well as company. It was great to catch up with old friends and see how we’ve become part of a legacy. We could not have been as successful as we were in Germany without our Resident Director, Dr Fred Oppenheimer. We owe him much gratitude. Best of luck in the future
