He and his wife, Hildburg are of conviction that in time beyond, they are going to meet and be together.

About the Author
The author of the attached biography was born in 1928 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His mother originated in the vicinity of Dresden and his father was a proprietor of a beauty salon in Minnesota. After the separation of his parents in 1936, the author moved with his mother to Dresden. He attended school there until the start of World War II. Early in his life, he discovered his passion for horses and horseback riding. When he turned 16, he was scheduled to be drafted by the Germans; but as an American citizen, he refused to be engaged in warfare against the United States – and he was interned therefore. After the war, he pivoted between Germany and the United States. He met his late wife Hildburg in Heidelberg, which was the greatest event in his life. In Los Angeles, he became a professional horseman. That led him to Hollywood and a career as a stuntman. Throughout this time, he had continued with his studies at the USC (University of Southern California) and he later completed his PhD. His activity as a teacher in many schools and later as a school administrator was completed with a great deal of enthusiasm.
