It's all I can do to sit still, right now

Punched-up Google . . . . 'swiss white pages' . . . . 'hans mazza' . . . . and bam! ---- I just went back 40-years! Search results even came with a satellite map! The 'net never stops being totally utterly amazing . . . .

Wrote my letter Friday . . .

Dear Mr Mazza . . .

I am the owner of the vehicle in the enclosed photographs --- 1970 Porsche 911S VIN = 9110301059. During my research of the history of this vehicle, I made a request to the Bundesamt für Strassen ASTRA and came up with the following information . . .

I searched the Swiss telephone directories and found your name and address.

Please excuse me --- I don’t mean to disturb you, but . . . . are you the same person who once owned this car? If your answer is no? --- then, I apologize for any intrusion.

But if your answer is yes --- then I would very much appreciate hearing from you, about your experiences with this car, and anything that you can tell me . . . where you found it, and what happened to it. I’ve owned the car for ~3 years and have stories to share, and many pictures . . . .

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely . . .


Went to CVS Pharmacy Sunday. They have this Kodak film processing set-up there --- took my now-dead camera w/ the up-loaded images I wanted to make prints of --- the key-fob shot + the sunrise @OC C&C shot . . . sat down, hooked-up, made a coupla 5 X 7s. Nobody else there, so took, like, 5 minutes . . . $5.00

Went to the local UPS Store, last night --- sent an envelope . . . letter + 2 X pics, international w/tracking = $67.41 The delivery includes the addressee’s phone number --- the Swiss address is strange, looks incomplete . . . so they can call when they come
