Today we did another workshop.. this time at the University of Waterloo.. It went very well. I could tell that the kids enjoyed it.. 

AFter the workshop the guys gave me a ride down to Burlington Ontario . My good friend Karin and her daughter Leni drove all the way from Buffalo to meet me for dinner. I’ve known Karin  since 1979,, 47 years !. She was 8 years old when Ileved wit her family in Vienna Austria.. I’ve stayed in touch with Karin and her family through all those years.. this is the first time i’ve seen her in the US. Leni is studying at Mercyhurst college where she plays hocky for their team. She and her sister are on the Austrian national team.. and might one day play in tehir olympic team .. who knows ?

It was so great catching up with karin and leni.. slots of memories.. lots of fun !
