That's me
Well, Eberhard, your comment sets off a chain of associations. First, your eyes, which remind me so much of my aunt, Barbel Braunstein. Second, that you are an admirer (bewunderer) of Eve. Count me in (along with the other ten thousand). Many years ago I was sitting in a swanky bar in Karlsruhe, Germany. Beside me was a well-dressed gentleman who identified himself as the director of the CERN facility just outside the city. I was an engineering physics student, so we struck up a conversation. After a time I told him that I much admired the lady that owned the bar, who also was serving us that night. He immediately called out to her, saying "Christiane, here is yet another admirer of yours". She went into the back and came out with three champagne glasses, a bottle of the bubbly.....poured us all a drink, gulped hers down and retreated back to work. But not before giving me a look that, had I had my traveler's pack on me, the sleeping bag would have immediately unfurled into a double bed. Memories. Dino Cremonese
