Hello From Austria Classical Music, Hiking & Summer Tobogganing & Two Delicious Backyard Feasts II
At 9:30 am I went to visit Klaudia, one of my best friends from high school, at her parents house. Our other school mate Doris was already there and it was great to see both of them again, more than 23 years after we graduated from high school. After the initial hugs and kisses and how-are-yous we started walking onto the local hill, the Weizberg. Our stroll took us through the local cemetery where we admired a very famous grave: the last resting place of Aurelia Schwarzenegger, Arnolds mother, who was a long-time resident of Weiz.
Klaudia even mentioned that her father happened to encounter Mrs. Schwarzenegger at the cemetery a number of years ago, but she had collapsed due to a heart attack. My friends father called the ambulance which gave her emergency treatment and took her to the hospital. She passed away shortly after and Arnold Schwarzenegger sent a thank you letter to the ambulance employees as well as to Klaudias father, to thank him for getting help for his mother. Proof that in this town real celebrity connections are just steps...
