Elizabeth Bohlken-Zumpe,
2/28/98: Hans was born on the Rhon Bruderhof on Feb8, 1935, as the third child of Hans and Margrit Meier. Like all of us, he travelled as asmall baby to Liechtenstein, and from there to England and then to Paraguay. We werein the same group, and later schoolmates together with Michel Gneiting, Evi Pleil(Dreher), Hans Martin and many others. We enjoyed our childhood it Primavera -- itwas our home! I have lots of happy memories of our school years together.In 1952 he went to the Wheathill Bruderhof in England to do an electronic-mechanicaltraining in Wolverhampton. During those years, the youth group had a joyful periodand we went on wonderful youth trips. Of these many of us will especially remember our ten-day trip to Glasgow, Scotland. The lorry broke down near Manchester and allour travel and food money went for repairs on the old truck. In order to continue withour planned excursion, we started folk-dancing in the open marketplaces in the townsand cities. Then Hans-Jurg (with his most friendly smile) would go around thewatching public with his hat and ask for contributions. Many times the police asked us

to leave, but we just continued on to another town and managed than way to "earn our living," which was truly fun!It was during that time also that Hans-Jurg, very moved by the early death of our friend Peter Boning (age 17), asked for the novitiate and was baptized later. We allhave fond and happy memories from that time spent together.The 1960s brought a change. Like many of us. Hans-Jurg left for England where hemet Lux (Lucrezia) Fischer. They married and he found a good job with Coca-Cola inBrazil. Later he wanted to build his own business together with Lux's brother Guillermo in Paraguay, but that did not work out as planned, so he made a meager living doing technical repairs for different people around the neighborhood. My brother Kilian and I visited them in 1992, and I remained in contact since then. Hisillness became obvious in August of last year but must have troubled him muchlonger.Two of his brothers, Danny and Andreas, came down from the American bruderhofsto Paraguay at the beginning of February and the visit was a good one, as far as I haveheard. At least for that one can be thankful! Many of us will remember H.J. as ahappy, sometimes all-too-honest friend who never worried about putting his foot intosomething when he thought it would help bring clarity to the truth.I am happy to say that Ingmar was able to bring a small financial help from hisEuropean friends, just a little extra to make his last days easier and give him somethings he needed. Also I am thankful that Ingmar could be with Lux during those lastdifficult days. I think for Lux, and their son Marcello, it would be nice if differentfriends dropped them a line.Also I heard this morning that Susanna M. Alves Levy's husband Michael died inEngland. KIT readers will remember her beautifully written story ['Love Story,' Vol.VIII #10] about his Alzheimers and how bravely she lived with that, even though itmust have been so hard and difficult. That must be all for now. Much Love,

Hilarion Braun,
2/23/97: After the second illegal entry into our home, the telephonewires inside the house were re-wired (according to the technician who inspected the burglar alarm system) so that the porch phone and the kitchen phone, if taken off thehook, would prevent the alarm system from phoning the break-in data to themonitoring station until the phone had been replaced on the hook. This has now beenfixed.In the last KIT, the whole collection of writings re forgiveness made me laugh! Atlast, one biblical passage that can't be disputed! Forgiving someone who sins againstyou frees your heart for further love. It has nothing to do with the sinner. The SOBsees its crimes as "tough love." I can just see Christ slapping a whore and calling it"tough love!"
