Mr Neu at Shanghai Disneyland

As noted, Mr Neu came to China with me in conjunction with my Asia CFO meeting at Shanghai Disneyland. This was the first time he actually sat in on one of my meetings. And, as he informed the group in his impromptu remarks during the opening session: "[He] never really knew what I did for a living before this."

It was nice for him to see this. My work bringing together finance executives for knowledge exchange is not too far removed from teaching, which is what both my parents knew best and did well. 

Traveling and Mrs Neu

My Mother was always supportive of traveling, especially to visit family. I was reminded of this as we arrived in Germany to meet up with our last remaining blood relative there, my father's cousin Jürgen.  He is seen below with the niece (Sybille) of my great uncle Rudi (husband of my father's maternal aunt) and her husband (Wolfgang). They all came to meet us in Berlin.
