Getting some rest
March 1995 | ||

Twister
11 May 2002 | ||
 |

PW and Vreni
1 January 2003 | ||

Gruess Gott, Herr Ruhland
7 October 2003 | ||
 |
||
| So we were on the plane to our diving holiday in Egypt... A 25 person school orchestra was lifting celloes, harps and what not on the plane... I see a grey-haired guy in front of me and say out loud 'Oh, it's Herr Ruhland', a kid in front of me turns round and asks 'yes, do you know him'? It was our music teacher from 20 years ago! He still remembered us after a bit of warming up and gave his regards to my brother... I told him that the only equivalent coincidence was meeting my English teacher Herr Leistl at a gas station in Dover... He replied 'Und daa hat er moi net graucht, da Herr Leistl'.... | ||
