My father was the Senator of the Department of Ports, Navigation, and Traffic. I am proud to be one of the daughters of this great man who was not only instrumental in saving and rebuilding the destroyed ports of Bremen after both world wars but a wonderful example to follow. I was raised in Bremen, learned the trade of seed breeding in East Germany during the war, and became a POW at the end of the war in 1944/45. I studied math and biology until 1952, and then immigrated to the United States. I married Leo Schmidt, we had four children, and have been living in Castro Valley, California ever since. I finished my education and worked as a teacher in the 1970s. I started writing at the ripe age of eighty-five. My Father, Hermann Apelt is my fifth book.lihat lebih sedikit
