Ellis Island and Beyond
LET THIS BE MY WAY OF SAYING “THANK YOU” to all of those that have touched my life in one way or another and have helped to make this book become reality. The fact that America became my home was unintentionally. My dreams had been to come to this part of the world for a year or two and return to my beloved homeland. My Germany. Especially Luebeck.
That land had lost a war that should have never come about. That land had been destroyed to the very core. The continuous unemployment and horrible outlook into a better future made me come to America. My wonderful German girl, Gisela, came here from Berlin three years later to be my wife. Two wonderful children, a boy and a girl were born. We worked seven days a week to get the things we had hoped for. I started to love America for all there was to be had. We moved about for a long time and finally settled in New Hampshire. That State had all we wanted. We could sail and we could ski, we could see the ocean or hike in the woods.
It was there for us to have and enjoy and we were happy to raise our two children there as well. With this “Thank you” note I hope that all my readers will see a sense of humor on my part and smile or laugh a little. Yes, I have built a few houses and sold a few as well. And yes, my machine-shop became a success but even there I couldn’t stop. A Sailboat-marina was the final! Sailing the coast of Maine and the Virgin Islands was the high point. And yes, I was on the helm, but my wife was the better Navigator. We had made it! Again, to all my family, to all my friends and especially the wonderful lady I married, Gisela, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Yours truly,
Armin
