I recieved a letter from Max once written in German, I could not understand a damn thing, I took it to my local university German teacher , and he could not translate it either. he explained to me that it was OLD German, whatver the heck that means.......different from todays German. He said that Max was inviting me to his house etc. etc. but he was not even sure. Max was so old at that point that I was afraid to buy an airline ticket 7 days away. I then called him on the phone and got the same invitation , the German professor asked me if I was an old friend of Max and I said I had never met him. He said the letter was wriiten as if to an old friend , so I chalked it up to pugilista dementia and stayed home
