Meine schoene Fraulein

This is Anya with her Dad, Joerg. She was born in Germany a few weeks before I was. Our Moms go back together a long way. They were classmates and best friends since first grade.

Anya's Mom, Julia, and my Mom when they were small - so small that together they could fit in one lawn chair.

It's good that long-distance phone rates between Canada and Germany have come down. The best friends still phone each other often and compare notes about me and Anya.
