In the mail bag, re Baumholder 1961

I am a native Baumholderer, born in 1952. Your book was sent to me by a friend (Gail Winfree). And of course, I am fascinated.

In summer we have our opening of the new museum of Baumholder. And one of the main themes will be the “wild years of Baumholder”.

I have started some research according to your book. But it is difficult, because most people from that time have died meanwhile.

I have a few questions:
Are the persons in your book real? Nobody every heard of Gasthaus Konrad. Same is with the owner and his son. Only Isaak is a person that some people remember.

My question to you: Could you give me a more detailed description to the location of Gasthaus Konrad or even the real name of it?

I would be very happy to hear from you
Ah, the connections one can make via the Internet! Of course, I'm telling this guy the little I can remember. I told him he should display my book in the museum. I reminded him that in fiction we change the names to protect the innocent ha ha.
