After I returned from work today, between the other mail (bills, bills, bills

) I found a large, thick envelope. From the USA, from hba, from Herman. Remember he told us he went to a meeting to meet 'Wild Bill' Guarnere and 'Babe' Heffron, two surviving WWII paratroopers? True members of the Band of Brothers.

To my amazement their book, dedicated to me was inside the envelope, together with a Dutch (!) Rolex catalogue from the Nr. 1 Rolex AD in Rotterdam AND a CD with the pictorial account of his meeting with these great men! I'm still baffled! During the past years my admiration for those who went to foreign countries to do much more than their duty has only risen. And this book is an incredible gift. Herman, I don't know what to say!
