Comment: OK, sounds good. Maybe Saturday morning sometime. All that is needed is a connection and someone who knows the names....

One of the memories I try and forget is the one holers in the floor. i don't care how modern you make them they are a very very bad. (They still have them.) Vincenzo still sells Spatenbrau in his place and I drank a few. On some of the pictures you have I know some of the missing names. Do you want to take some time and update the pictures in Sept.? I believe Willy will be in contact with us because I showed him how to access the web page.
Comment: To be honest, I don't remember the pizza guy either. With all the beer I drank there, I was lucky to remember anything. I DO remember that they had one of those one-holer toilets on the floor. For some reason I had an up-close-and-personal relationship with it.

Or, I've slipped further into senility than I thought.

We all thought the pizza was great and had a pizza there at least one night a week. The second month we were there and 3 days before we were on our way back Willy stoped by the pizza place and ask me if I remembered the owner. His name is Vincenzo the same as the name on the sign. Vincenzo was the guy who made pizzas for us at the bar Valentino. He started there in 1961 when he was 15 and stayed there till they closed. He moved around from place to place and 2 years ago he opend his own place one block from our place. He told me to say hello to all the Americans who ate his pizza. To tell you the truth his pizza now is much better than back then.

To say nothing of the fantastic pizza. We also called it "the Spatenbrau" because of the sign over the door advertising that beer. Anyhow,what's the latest?

We will try and have pictures ready for the renunion, if not maybe on the web or on a disk.
