Donningers behavior was extreamly poor and sad. It's a pitty that the brutus project is for many of us connected with hate. I'm living in the southern part of Germany. I have neighbours which are both my friends and americans. I have known people like Bob and Bruce in many years from the net and would call them friends. So let me finish by: God bless you and God bless America! Kind regards Bernhard
