You wanted to put me on the air but time was up. Therefore you asked me to leave a comment.

"Living consciously", "make sense of your life", how did I get there and what can I pass on?

I finished my book, "PATHWAYS AWAY FROM THE EDGE. COMING OFF AGE IN CHAOS BERLIN, 1939-1972" from which I am reading regularly at the Salem library and at other institutions.  I have experienced - FIRST HAND - WW2, the Berlin Air Lift and the Berlin Wall, before I emigrated to the US. I think I have a worthwhile contribution to make, teaching survival skills and optimism, regardless of what I have experienced in terms of bombs, fear, hunger, cold etc. I have 189 pictures added to my narrative. My book is not a history book, rather about my personal experiences during those years.

If you are interested, please contact me at 503.371.1366 or write me an e-mail.

I have finished writing my book, "Pathways away from the Edge, coming off age in Chaos Berlin, 1939-1972". I have experienced WW2, the Berlin Air Lift and the Berlin Wall first hand. I am reading from my book regularly at the Salem/OR library and at other institutions. The feedback and enthusiasm I receive is overwhelming. Are you interested?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Sincerely,

Christel Jonge Vos
