Hello Christine, Although I am American, I did live in Germany for 2 years. I am a PWP (person with Parkinson's) 49/3 (age/diagnosed). Welcome to the list. You can write to me at [log in to unmask] if you wish. If you write in German I may or may not remember enough, but will muddle through. don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask] http://members.tripod.com/~marling
