...had the pleasure:

of spending a day out in the forest for U. 75th birthday.

The photo sums up how I know him for 16 years now - always with a smile on his lips and in his eyes, always chary and modest and always there when you need someone to count on.

A nice afternoon of cakes and walking with different friends, it was fascinating for everyone to hear of the different kind of things he did, apart from his work and espescially since he retired.
He's since then the treasurer of our local greenpeace group and makes sure that everyone can work deliberately without worrying about the bureaucracy side.

Today he was our hiking guide - as he is still so often around the woods and hills of the region here.


And again, the weekend is too short and there are quite a few things on my desk (literally and figuratively) which restrain me from vast commenting. But I can see you...
