The (Revised) World Cup Winner Will Be...

Well my longshot, The Netherlands, tanked. We can whine about 16 yellows and four reds, but the bottom line is - the Dutch never played with any energy and emotion. So now its France vs. Italy. And we'll go with - FRANCE 1, ITALY 0. In the first overtime. Hey, anyone who can beat Brazil (and outplay them too) gets my vote.

Ludwig Family Pix

All vintage Ludwig family pictures have been moved to their own blogsite at www.ludfampix.blogspot.com New ones will be added as I get them scanned. Generally, they'll be there for about 30 days. Any information on them, especially of the "who - what - where - when - why" variety, is appreciated.
