Seeking German Woman

I’m in search for a German woman. Not just any German woman. This German woman.

The brunette in the middle. Not the guy on the left. He’s neither German nor a woman.

A Bremen German Woman

Back in 1996 I was cast in an industrial film for Evans and Sutherland. They’re a computer firm and back then they sold killer simulators to the military. They don’t sell them anymore and now the Evans and Sutherland website looks like it was designed by an 81-year old guy who has taught himself web design from a 20-year old computer book.

Anyway, I was cast to do a film for Evans and Sutherland. Orland0-based Century III was the film production company that hired me. I was living in Orlando at the time, trying to get my feet back under me after a disastrous few years in Chicago.

We shot the film in Switzerland and Germany. It was in Bremen, Germany when I met the aforementioned German woman. She was part of the German film crew in Bremen. Here’s a picture of the film crew.

That’s my friend Rus, second from the right. The German girl I’m looking for is third from the left.

She and I hit it off immediately. She was as sweet as a Prinzregententorte. We laughed a lot. I have never forgotten her. But I have forgotten her name. And that makes searching for her as hard as finding a a sober German at Oktoberfest.

But I have just enough mental illnesses to give it a try. I don’t have much to go on.

It was 1996. Film crew in Bremen, Germany. Shoot with Century III for Evans and Sutherland. Aaaaand that’s it.

Not much huh?

Oh, and since it was 1996, she’s 19-years older. So I’m guessing she’s in her mid-40s.

That’s a very young me with the mysterious German woman.

I’m not quite sure why I want to find her. Maybe it’s to get in touch with my lost youth. Maybe it’s to find out what happened to her. Maybe it’s because I need someone to buy some Spritzgebäck for me. I’m not sure. But I’d like to find her to satisfy some unknown longing in me.

Here we are. I’m attempting my best German look.

The Skinny

So here’s the deal. I know very few people in Germany. But if you know someone in Germany, please send them a link to this post. Ask them if the girl or anyone else in the picture looks familiar. Of course the person will have to add 19 years onto everyone. And then ask that person to send the link to other friends and family in Germany, especially in the Bremen area. It’s sort of like a pyramid scheme for missing persons.

Let’s see if we can find that sober German.

Ich danke ihnen sehr.
