Monday, March 9, 1992
Night train to Hannover, Germany, leaving Paris at 9:35PM and arriving Hannover 8:40AM on Tuesday. This time we have our Eurail passes from the U.S. for much easier traveling. We quickly stashed our luggage into a train station locker and proceeded to set up the booth for the upcoming Cebit ’92 show. The booth was sponsored in conjunction with the ITRC in Dallas and I was delighted to see Byron Cain there, allowing us to catch up on old times of our work days together.
In the evening (now Tuesday) we gathered our luggage and were driven to the home of Karlheinz and Erika Boker in Garbsen, a suburb of Hannover. They were our guest host family, an older German couple who had traveled in the states; he spike some English and she spoke only German; lovely 3 story home; Karlheinz is a retired President of the Glassworkers Union in Hannover and still a member of parliament; Erika is the Vice Mayor of Garbsen.
Each morning we were treated to a German breakfast and lots of good company in the evenings.
