| told us the story of how Martin came to see her after the wall came down in 1989 |
She had not seen him since he was 3 years old in 1973. He came to her door and knocked and she thought, this guy looks familiar. I wonder where I know him from, he looks like Ingo (MArtin's dad) but a younger version. Then Martin shook her hand and said, Hallo Connie - it's me Martin and she just pulled him in for a hug. She had missed him for 16 years.
