I don't know if there's a connection or not. I met Lothar and his family last year while they were vacationing here in Iowa. I'll pass along what I can figure out in his address. The script (handwriting style)is difficult to read.: Lotha(r) Haaf, BaCaa Bauie, J(?) Y(?)oana Baier, Hauiptsht(?)23,D-69483 Wald-Michelbach,Germany I got the letter last spring and replied, but it was returned to me because I didn't have the address right. I don't know too much about how to find someone on the internet. Maybe you can help me get in touch with him and find out some info. for yourself. He lives close to Hiedleburg, about 180 miles from the Italian/swiss border. There aren't many Haaf's living in the area. I was able to determine that much. Hope this helps us both. If you want to send me a phone #, I can call you and read you the letter and address. Maybe you can help me decipher it. Our phone # here is a/c 319-659-5077 or, cell # 319-343-4346. I have nationwide on the cell # so I can probably call you cheaper. Cliff Karen Sleeper
