Dieses Büchlein ist im Laufe von mehreren Jahren aus den mit Verwandten und Klassenkaramaden ausgetauschten mails entstanden. Mein besonderer Dank geht an Hans-Peter für seine ausführlichen Antworten. Es haben sich kleine Essays gebildet, von denen nicht alle zum Ernst der augenblicklichen Weltlage passen. Vielmehr lebt das Angebotene von der Erinnerung an unwiederbringlich Vergangenes wie insbesonders der Schulzeit. Nun im Ruhestand wegen meiner Sehschwäche, ist mein Interesse an Literatur wieder erwacht. So ist eine ho entlich unterhaltsame Vielfalt entstanden.
