Lunchtime...

In the international arena...

Templehof is closing...  I have a lot of memories of that place. I arrived there in the summer of 1969, and left on a cold winter day in January of 1972.  I lived there, I worked there, it was my home away from home while I worked as a 'spook' (a spy/intelligence analyst specialist) during the cold war.  It was there I experienced the Nixon years, a plunging dollar, wage-price freeze, and I saw the Berlin Wall.  A lot of memories.
