    Thanks for the comment. There's more to come.
  5. I just received an email from my school notifying me that I've been chosen as a school ambassador this year. My first assignment is to welcome four exchange students from Norway. Friday is the first day of the new term, and I'll meet them at the main entrance at 8:30. I'm really looking forward to it. I just hope they speak English! My life has been pretty great so far, almost perfect. I was born in sunny San Mateo, California, and my family has lived on Aragon Boulevard since I was two ye

    Thanks for the comment. I suspect that if there is a sequel, we’ll see more of Dr. Wagner.

    I understand your concern with a rushed ending. I try to balance, too much detail with too little detail. I might have missed the balance this time. Maybe I’ll write a sequel sometime and fill in some of the missing points. Thanks for the comment.

    I am so happy you enjoyed the story. I like to think I write for myself, but the encouragement is always welcome. Thanks for the comment and review.

    I’m glad you enjoyed the story and thank you for the comment. There is more to this story (at least in my head). Maybe I’ll write a sequel someday.

    Thanks for the comment. I’m wary of sequels, but maybe if there’s enough interest. I do have other stories to write.

    ** The two boys snugged their Jackets the best they could and slogged down the path. After a mile or two, James stopped dead in his tracks. "There it is!" "What, James?" asked Winston. "It's the Pleiades Star Cluster!" Winston looked to where James was pointing. The volcanically formed limestone cliffs above them mimicked the 'Pleiades Star Cluster' depiction on the Nebra and Augsburg discs and the river map on the boulder at the Goseck Circle precisely. This had to be it!

    Thanks for the comment. I enjoy learning that people enjoy the read. I wish I could type like that! Lots of revelations in the next chapter (hopefully interesting ones).

    Thanks for the comment. I’m very happy you are enjoying the story. My best teacher ever was a world history teacher when I was a junior in high school.

    You are probably right about Boris. The kids may think their parents would force them to stop the search if they found out about the doctor. Plus young teens often feel they won’t be believed by adult. At least that’s the way I felt at that age. Thanks for the comment. You may be on to something. Thanks for the comment.

    ** The following day, the boys met up with the German youth Fußball club to kick the ball around. After the scrimmage, as the boys lounged around in the club's usual hangout, several were curious about their time in Leipzig. Winston and James mentioned they had observed the summer solstice at the Goseck Circle. Most of the boys found that interesting. One boy, Theo, belonged to a youth explorer club. His local group had camped at the circle the year before. Although it wasn't at the solstice,

    The teens seem to be making progress, but will Boris get in their way? Thanks for the comment.
