ChiChi, thank you so much for your reply. It's those everyday type of memories that are the sweetest, i.e having breakfast at Kiev, and I so appreciate your sharing that.
I've thought a lot about August 6th. I do think it would be nice to do something in remembrance. I had my own little kooky thing in mind before i got brave enough to post. If you or anyone else reading has ideas for a fitting 25th memorial, I would love to hear them. I have to say right off that I did not know him; I am just an ardent admirer, but his influence on my life has been profound.
On a related note, you have probably seen this, but in case not, it's a French interview with Klaus, one of best ones that's floating around (except for the fact that it is dubbed over in French and Klaus's own voice gets drowned out a lot.)
