My classmate Mike Burke and I toured the Anne Frank Foundation (Fonds) Annex in Amsterdam, Holland, and after visiting the gift shop, ventured over to a downstairs diner across the street. Soon an elderly gentleman asked if he might sit with us and so he did. Noticing my two books, A Diary of a Young Girl and Europe on 5 Dollars a Day, he asked to see one. As I passed him the Europe book, he shook his head, and asked for the other one. As the man spoke of the site which we had just toured, we were spellbound but had no clue who he was. This gentle man took our receipts, and exited, but not before handing me his card: Otto H. Frank, father of Anne Frank. This true story begins on April 17, 1968.
