Monday started with a trip to Duisburg, with John J retracing his footsteps and more.  This is the city where John J enjoyed driving his jeep - sometimes coasting quietly up to unsuspecting young ladies and honking the horn - WONK WONK - just to say 'hello' I guess.  Visited the Duisburger Hof Hotel, the Opera House, and around the area including Koenig-Heinrich Platz - (King 'Henry' Place) which is still there, but now a modern 'city center' type area with shopping and offices.   At the hotel, The Vet explained to the concierge that he was returning after 67 years, had stayed in the hotel, and noted the location where American flag had flown at half-mast at the time due to the death of President Roosevelt.   An interesting coincidence is that we noticed a Rotary meeting in progress at the hotel.  A chapter representative who was advised came out to visit with John J (a Rotarian), and he then exchanged greetings with their group.  Walking the area - especially Koenig-Heinrich Platz - was 'interesting' because The Vet was surrounded by 'his bodyguards', including the Czech boys, who were in US WWII uniforms - they looked like  soldiers.  We noticed a lot of eyes following us.  Next stop - Landing Zone S near Wesel...
