William lived in Germany from 1989 to 1991. He and his wife lived in a little house in Kaiserslautern, traveled extensively, and made many friends. While living in Germany, he enjoyed taking weekend trips, journeys down the Rhine River, and driving on the autobahn. He especially enjoyed being in Kaiserslautern for the football (soccer). He misses the wonderful food and drink and the good friends he made. He says, "There's nothing like Fridays at the pub or Saturday market."
