    Wait 'til you see the rest of the family....image I'm in love with his daughter Brunhilde who, if she is still alive, will turn 86 years old day after tomorrow. I need to ask Gunter Kienast if he knows whether the daughters are still alive or not....

    "Could very well serve as your Goetz Collection center piece." Yes, I think the obverse will be the primary image on my Home page...I can use it like Kienast did for the books. BTW, My ownership of the two copyrights for the books was finalized in November...image

    Just beautiful!

    Congrats on the copyrights BTW. I know something wonderful must be coming... image

    The symbol of Augsburg is a pinecone. I won't even mention the things I thought it was!

    Sigh... image

    That's awesome. Also a great piece too.

    So do I now need your permission to use this now?

    Nope, It's your image...Text or images from the books cannot be used without my permission image

    The struck pieces certainly don't exude the same power do they?

    Since Goetz gave these out to his "esteemed friends and patrons," it seems just that you should have one, too!! Congratulations on acquiring the copyrights!! imageAusgezeichnet!!

    If it was a SELF-portrait, you'd think he'd have had the temptation to cheat a little, and give himself a slightly larger winkie! imageimage
