I first met Rosie in the early 90's when I moved to Germany. At the time, she was dating Burchard, Thomas' childhood friend. Rosie, who is originally from France, but speaks German perfectly, helped me in those days more than she will ever know. She quickly invited me to spend a weekend with her in Osnabruck where she was living at the time. I'll never forget she had taped up German words all over her apartment and gave me my first German picture dictionary, which I still have and use! I was also fortunate enough to travel with Rosie and Burchard to her hometown in France where her parents graciously welcomed me into their home. We have traveled thousands of miles to spend time with each other and I look forward to many more happy times together.
