(You may hear phantom noise on this episode. There was a very high powered radio station in the building where we were recording. Not the best day for an audio engineer! But, we thought this content was too good not to share!)

About a Stammtisch: “Everyone’s opinion counts. No one gets ridiculed.” Horst Schulze
“Profession was not just the way to make a living. It was an honor.”
“I’m not coming to work to work, I’m coming to work to create excellence and to be with my friends.”
“He was defining himself as a person of excellence no matter what he was doing.”
