From Sensei Dan

One of my earliest memories of Hans is from being down the Noetzli Cape house in Eastham.  There was one weekend where we had gone to lunch somewhere close by the house and after we had finished lunch, Hans had said to Chris, "Christoph, that was a RGS."  Chris, looking puzzled, said "Dad, what do you mean RGS?" to which Hans replied "It was a RGS, a Really Good Sandwich."  At that I started laughing and realized what a great sense of humor Hans had (and still does).  I always enjoyed talking to Hans because he always would make us all laugh with his quick wit and humor.  I'm looking forward to the day when I can smoke some Swisher Sweets and have a drink with him again.

Hans, I want to wish you a very happy birthday with many more to come.  Buon Compleanno!
