Dear Elizabeth A

Hello

Remember it very well.

The peaceful revolution swept across eastern Europe.

People wanted change and it culminated in the wall finally falling.

Anything at that time seemed possible.

Very best wishes

I must be getting old, it doesn't seem like 20 years! lol

I know a Yugoslavian family, who were one of the first families in East Germany to have a business. Anyway they have a great restaurant in Spain now!
