We didn't get to spend much time with Grandpa JB, since we grew up
in Germany. I can hardly remember him as a child. I remember I
picked the first tangerines off his tangerine tree when I was about
3 or 4. It wouldn't of been so bad if they hadn't of been green.
We never had a chance of meeting our Grandmother since she died very
young of leukemia before we where born.
In 1985 Dad, Charly and I visited the family in Texas. In that year
they put up a reunion for us all to meet. My god, was there a lot of
kin there. I guess it was about 150 to 200 people running around.
I remember Grandpa took us down town to one of these western shops.
He said: Boy's I guess it's about time I buy you guy's a pair of
boots. Those where the first one's we owned.
We had a good time with everyone, I wish we could of spent more time
there.
