<HTML>Good personal story, Cap\'n!! I found Hardegen to be courteous in the mail when he sent me a signed photo a couple years ago....but then later somewhat irritable when I requested him to sign a book, which he did, but wasn\'t exactly happy to. But then, when I\'m 80+ I\'ll probably want to be left aone, too!
I met with Herr Topp at his home near Remagen a few months ago, and found him to be a real gentleman. Kind, considerate, and thoughtful, and witty. Also quite dynamic still at his age. It was a genuine pleasure to sit and talk with him.
I would have sailed with him with full confidence!!
Best,
