Dear Tom and Brian, i am Ingrid the au-pair girl from Austria . I was staying in your home 1987 and I was taking care for Brian. I am so sad about Donna. I remember that she was pregnant
Brian was a verry nice boy- we where playing "super Mario" and he was so clever. I will never forget this time with your family in America. Kisses Ingrid
