In 1994 I spend my first holiday with may grandfather Bernd in Florida. He took me around the area and finally we had a ride together with uncle bill. We went to the key islands with a tiny little boat pulled all the way down from were he lived. The three of us together than went out and I thought I might never make it back since a storm was about to rise. But we made it. Thanks for all the memory - will never forget. Best regards from Germany - Alex plus Family

I remember when we were kids Bill taught me to jump off the roof with a parachute made from a bed sheet. He told me it would work. It did not! Simpler days.
