Well I can't say I like Bier either, but the Wine on the Mosel and the Rhein is outstanding!

My Great-Grandfather was a minister and during WW1 the people came to lynch him, he talked them out of it. It was because he was 1st generation German, so there is that background I always heard about. My Grand Aunt, my Grandfathers brothers wife grew up in a German village (in America, I think in North Dakota). So I always heard her accent and Mita was a nice lady.

I took high school German for two years, got an A the first semester, then a B, a C (you see where this is going), so I quit after four semesters.

Then I joined the army and always heard stories about Germany, always good, except for the duty (tower duty for many MP's and that would stink). Then I was stationed next to Aachen for almost 7 years, I went all over Deutschland, from Bremerhaven to Beirchestgaden. Wonderful place, nice people (good wine, beer always tastes, like beer?

I learned a bit of Dutch and German and liked it very much. Now, my Mom asked me recently, "Why do you like Lugerâ??s so much?" I don't know I said, same reason I like old Mustangs? [img]smile.gif[/img]
