I met Claus in Long Beach 50+ years ago and we became instant friends. Although I moved back to PA 22 years ago, we had remained in contact all these years. I will miss him.

I met Claus one time when he visited Northwood and heard many stories about him from my mother. He did what we all should do, live life to the fullest.
