was a very nice documentary on the wall: 'Berlin
Twenty Years After' on CBC here in Canada.
I've seen the wall various times from 1965 to
1986, and have/have had relatives on both sides.
I'm not sure I could have handled all the
emotions if I'd been there Nov. 9 1989.
Germany still has not healed from the damage, but
I'm so glad it's gone. It was a terrible thing.
