I thought that was pretty cool! I didn't know that since was only 2 then. I thought I would share!! I was just surfing for something else when that popped up!! :banana:

OMG! I'd forgotten about ol' Waldi!! We were living in Germany during the '72 Olympics (it was a pretty scary time with the Israeli athletes being kidnapped etc.) cuz my dad was in the air force, and in fact, we brought our dachsie Rani over with us. So the whole family loved that a dachsie was the mascot. Thanks for the memories!!

My sister went to see the Spielberg's Munich movie and she said it was really good. Or maybe it is the fact that they carded her at the movies had something to do wth her opinion? :scratch:

Maybe if I can find a sitter, I can finally go and see nonPG movie.:duh:
