About Me
The essentials have already been said.
I started my own business at the age of 24 and married my wife Katharina at the age of 26.
We worked hard together, but we also lived. It was often hard, sometimes bone-hard, living independently. Then we didn't whine, but packed.
Everything in this world has its time, its beginning and its end.
That's good, how could it be otherwise? - You just have to accept it.
Now I'm 83 years old and my XYL is 82 - we're practicing letting go now
After some searching I have found an ideal successor for my share of our aircraft.
After 49 years of caravanning, Jürgen DF2DX and Annegret DB7DS have taken over our caravan. With them, it is in good hands with its special equipment.
We do not mourn what is no longer possible. We are happy and grateful that all this was granted to us.
Maybe death’s hour too will send us out new-born towards undreamed-lands,
maybe life’s call to us will never find an end
Courage my heart, take leave and fare thee well. Hermann Hesse
But I still have a lot of ideas and things to do with amateur radio, photography and club life.
And after the experiences of my childhood, I'm not afraid of the future either.
