Happy Birthday to my uncles, Adi and Helmut ~


"Vergissmeinnicht"
(Forget-me-not)

Today, seventy-one years ago,  my Uncles, Helmut (1940 ~1994) and
Adalbert (1940 ~ 2004) identical twins, were born in Augsburg, Germany, to Adalbert and Liselotte Haf née Kaiser-Saule.

They are dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
Happy Birthday!


Ich liebe dich

Vergissmeinnicht
(Forget-me-not)

Dates and names to many whom are in the photos above (and in my personal photo collection) that I inherited when mom and Oma passed, are unknown at this time. My cousin, Marion in Germany and I are working together with her mom, my Aunt Gitta, to determine dates and persons in many of the photos that mom and I were going over prior to her death in July of 2010.  I hope to fill in the blanks to many or all of these photos.
