I just put them in my pocket because one shouldn’t let them lie around. I hope the audience didn’t feel about me like this flippant article writer! But other than that I enjoyed my only too short stay in Saginaw very much. Yes, I made mass in Detroit and since 2 days the pain in my jaw is gone. Feels fine! I’ll be back home on the 27th or the 28th. I go to the opening of the Expo on the 29th. Auf Wiedersean! Maria Trapp.” In excellent condition............................SOLD
