Ich bin ein [Texas-Born] Berliner

Dr. Wolfgang Petri has been my primary source of information over the last few months about what is happening with Paul.  Yesterday he sent me this photo of Paul that he took during his visit with him at his new place of residence on Thursday August 12th.  I was encouraged to receive a picture showing that he is alive and well and illustrating that he seems to be feeling good.  Wolfgang has given me periodic reports of his visits and says that Paul seems content in this new environment though his ability to communicate has deteriorated somewhat and his memory seems to be fading a bit.  Still I am pleased that he looks as good as he does and that he was even able to muster a smile for the picture.  As you will note, he uses a wheelchair to get around the grounds, but fortunately the grounds of the facility look like they are quite pleasant. 

I feel sure that you find this picture of him to be as reassuring as I do.  There is not much other news of note about his health except to say that in response to my queries Wolfgang has confirmed that he isn’t suffering any life-threatening health problems at the present.
