Dear Mr. Wayne,
I am =B4appy to hear your story. Partially correct. The West-German (Rheinl=
and etc) says <Berliner> to what the Berliner calls <Pfannkuchen>. I found =
this out after I arrived in Berlin. =20
He, JFK, did say I am a Berlin Person, citizen. Annoying tongues slipped in=
a latent desire to be consumed.
ciao,
hans,

JFK took his trip to Germany and said, "Ich bein ein Berliner," he though=
