Apologies from me and my alter-ego schlechter_pfennig

09-18-12, 05:55 PM

I want to apologize for the both of us --Albrecht von Hesse and schlechter_pfennig-- for simply having dropped off the face of the earth.

It started with Albrecht von Hesse, and I was too embarrassed then to come back, and so I created schlechter_pfennig. But then I did it again . . .

I have no real excuse, other than miserable health. Forgive me if I choose not to go into details, other than to say it's not life-threatening, just life debilitating.

In addition to apologizing, I want to release all rights to any and all of my mods, whether released by Albrecht von Hesse or as schlechter_pfennig. Use them as you see fit, or not. All I ask is that, if you do, I'd like to be mentioned in the credits. However, as I'm releasing all claims to them you may do what you see fit.

Again, my deepest apologies.

~Albrecht von Hesse

While a heartfelt apology is always appreciated, I see no reason for it. It's not like you did something wrong, or even hurtful. Life dominates all of us and sometimes we have to go where it takes us.

Welcome home.

Life has a way of throwing us curve balls when we least expect them. Welcome back!

No apology needed everyone will make mistakes! Good to have you back

Welcome to the wolfpack...

Herr-Berbunch · 09-19-12, 07:17 AM

Hope your health is as good as can be expected, and welcome back to both of you.

Welcome back Albrecht, you were always a good guy in my book as I recall

flag4 · 09-19-12, 08:06 AM

GET WELL SOON Albrecht. AND A WARM WELCOME BACK

VONHARRIS · 09-19-12, 08:53 AM

No need to apologize!
Welcome back and enjoy the hunt

I wish that no other trouble will come up.

Guys I'm going out on a limb, but it sounds like he's not back completely. Which I hope is not the case. If I was closer I'd look him up down there in Baltimore. I'll have only one chance in October to see him if he can meet me.

Albrecht, I hope you get well soon and are not leaving SubSim. October 13th I'll be in Westminster, MD at the Carroll County Regional Airport for the Collings Foundation's Wings of Freedom Tour. If you can make it come on up and see me, but more importantly come to see "9O9", "Witchcraft", Tondelayo", and "Betty Jane".... their B-17, B-24, B-25, and TP-51C; Just holler out GT182 or ask for Gary from New Castle, DE.

Sorry but this is blatant advertisement on my part guys.

Only because I'm a Tour Stop Coordinator in New Castle at KILG for them.

And if you ever wondered what it would be like in a Ball Turret, like I have, check this out...

And I'm going out on a limb again.... my friend Gottfried, is this you of 3./JG 53?

Yeah it is. I've always wanted to get in when they're around with "9O9", but I'm too tall they say and won't fit.

You see, it was the little short guys back in WWII that were made ball turret gunners.

Red Heat · 09-19-12, 04:46 PM

Very cool links GT182...

Sailor Steve · 09-19-12, 08:32 PM

What a great video!
