Vincent, I miss you!

You moved from Kansas to Berne, Switzerland many dekades ago. I moved from Berne, Switzerland, to the US because of my marriage with an Estonia born American. I always loved to be with you, Vincent, but it took me such a long time to upgrade my poor School English until I was able to read your wonderful Berne Book! I finally did it and my mind went back to my beloved old Berne guided by your funny, sad and thoughtful memories!You passed way too early for all of us who knew and loved you, "the first black man Berne ever saw". Now I am joining your spiritual way , we actually all do. Love you, Vince, be blessed!And we look forward to your new book that will be published 30 years after you wrote it...
