Hmmmm....maybe they just think that is none of your business.  I know that my parents didn't tell me everything that happened in their life, nor do I tell my child everything about my life.

Not called for beach bum.

Hey Chey. You know I knew both of your parents. I can understand totally you wanting to know about their lives in Germany.

Know your dad and mom I doubt very much if they would care what you heard about their time before you arrived.

Your Dad was a fun loving guy to be sure. He always had a grin on his face everytime I saw him. And no, I don't think that was always from
the strong Germany beer..

Mary-Lou and I hit it off pretty good. As you know I dated her sister and Mary-lou was always the joking around type.
I think that is what probably attracted you Dad and Mom to each other in the first place.

Anyway Chey, I hope others who knew them and see your post have a bit of fun, harmless things to tell you.

Talk to you soon.

Paul

Sorry.  I disagree with you Paul.  I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if her parents wanted her to hear the stories, do you not think it's up to them to tell?  Perhaps they have a reason for not relaying stories.

Hey
I was there the same time as Bill and Paul and I have to rely on others for many points. I don't have dementia yet but I do declare Germany 77-82 was one long weekend.  It is still foggy and pieces back together in stages. I was in Amsterdam 11 times like I can recall those trips. I tell my kids what I can remember. Oh the wonders of my youth. Drinking was looked at in a different light then. We were functional but dazed and confused (Led Zepplin may have had it right) Well the liver made it  and so did I.
Chey, I remember your Dad and he was a good guy and you can tell alot of a man by the friends he keeps and he hung with a really good crew (ask him about his friends) They were just members of an inferior battery. Keep asking it will come in stages.

Fall weekend Beer Tents are usually good for a story or two.
