    MOECHTEN
    DIE TEUTSCHEN
    NIE VERGESSEN WAS
    DEN BEFREIUNGSKAMPF
    NOTHWENDIG MACHTE
    UND WODURCH SIE
    GESIEGT
translation....    May
    the Germans
    never forget what
    made necessary
    the Struggle for Freedom
    and by what means they
    won.

Hockey was very good to my son. He was very talented. He went Prague when he was 16. He played in the Bromball(?) Tournament. He has some great memories. He brought me home a big bowl, but he put it in his suitcase, lol. I still have , all glued together. ;D I should take a photo you would crack up that I kept it.
