Hello,
I found your post by chance through Google whilst researching details for my autobiography which I am in the process of writing. I knew the Klosser brothers Arnie and Gerard and was familiar with their exploits both during and post War. Although I only met Gerard a couple of times I knew Arnie very well who was just known as Klosser in Tanzania. I was based in Dar es Salaam during the 1970's as a pilot and Klosser and I ran a part time business together. He lived on the Island of Mafia located South of Zanzibar where he owned a small motor cruiser taking tourists out fishing and diving but would visit the mainland very often. I still have a photo of him on Mafia from 1972, if you would be interested. I have very fond memory's of Klosser and the good times we spent together and would be very happy to share any details of Klossers life in Tanzania during that period.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kindest regards
Philip
Hi Philip, My name is Victor
Hi Philip, My name is Vic and I can assume that you refer to one of my earlier posts from when I began searching for my ancestors with few clues as to where to look and made discoveries I could hardly appreciate ? Its a broad church as they say ?
Therein lies the innocence of a searcher.
I have managed to speak with both Arnie & Gerards descendants and shared quite a lot of info/photos but I have to comment that they found some of the links I had made somewhat uncomfortable, which is exactly the reason I brought the post to an end,in such 'open' terms at least.
I would love to talk to you because Africa is where Legend and reality is less known about by the family and I can help in introducing you to descendants.
