Thanks for the photos. They are great.
But what has happened to the photo with you and Bernard? I can see only some treetops. |

Apparently the photo wasn't uploaded completely. It should work now. I am curious about the photos Claudiu made. The ones I've seen so far are oblique

I took with me in my car 3 great guys.All 4 of us had a totl of 294 years...
Dobran,niked name Fakir(given him by Lipfert himself),Marinciu-Bimbi(after a cartoon character of that time) and Georgescu,who I don'tknow his "other"name. It was the only one time that I went with 3 other guys and my wife wasn't worried about me going "chasing girls with the guys".I guess she didn't red Dobrans book
On the way to the cemetery,Georgescu was navigating from the back seat ,but we had the suprise of finding that a large bulevard was closed due to repairs...We had to drive till Ferentary(never been there till now)and then finaly found our way. I know that many disliked IDC's speach,but he was the only one brave to talk about the exhumation of the remains of the ww2 heros,for making place for snobs,that want's to get burried in their places. |
