were then made honors, was suddenly called my name, I was perplexed and had never gerechtnet it. My successor as chairman of the school development association and local councilor, gave a eulogy for me, had me totally surprised. Many things I had forgotten was already in the list back to life.
As we stood all on stage, more or less embarrassed with our bouquets in their hands and the special Ihringer bouquets, have all been happy. With the heavy chain of office, this is our mayor.
