Running with WOFF - And a Picture

Recommended Posts

Tom, here's an "American  Dream Tableau" - made especially for you.

My very first flight was from Bremen to Berlin, when I was 11 years old - it was in a Convair Metropolitain.

I had to fly alone to my grandma, as my parents wanted to prepare their divorce (which I didn't even know).

 

Well, I was lucky - a boy alone on an airplane is often asked to see the cockpit, and so that beautiful stewardess asked me,

and of course I would! She brought me there, and I remember how amazed I was about all those many instruments.

 

That trip to Berlin is connected with another fine memory.

My dad used to buy the monthly "Micky Maus" comics fro me - well, he read them first, and then I could have them -

but in Berlin I walked along the Gardeschützenweg and saw in a stand outside a kiosk the first "Donald Duck Special Edition",

which contained two wonderful stories by the great Carl Barks, the best Donald Duck artist. I still have that comic.
