Happy Wall Fall Day, everyone!

Twenty years ago today, determined masses of citizens took to the streets to declare that they'd had enough of the Berlin Wall.

Aside from the fact that the thing desperately needed tearing down and the GDR badly needed to let its people go -- without this day, I wouldn't have found a Berti. (Or his lovely family. Or many of my lovely friends.)

My heartfelt thanks to all you brave folks!

I remember the day. Who ever would have thought that it would have had such a profound and personal effect on our family? I add my thanks to all of those brave folks!
