<HTML>Thanks also to Ricky S. and MPC. It was a great trip and I will fill in more later after I\'ve gone thru my stacked-up mail, paid some of December\'s bills, gotten some laundry done, etc!!!
Of course \"lucky bastard\" was intended in a good, comradely context--and as an old Army vet, I take it in that vein, being quite comfortable with friendly \"profanities\"..!
As an aside, however, Mr. Topp said nothing is recovered. When the phone rang at his home, he left the living room for just a few minutes and didn\'t know anything was amiss for a few weeks (and he gestured to a large light brown cabinet at one end of the room--apparently where the items had been stored previously). The Polizei were notified, a report was filled out, and many international militaria dealers were notified around the world of the particular items that were taken. But, no word yet, and as he said, \"It is all lost.\" I expressed the sorrow many of us share in his loss of such important personal and historical momentos.
But...more on my trip in a few days...!!....
Best,
