Stefan Woehrmann's instruction book

[Tini Pel]

Yes Valerie, I agree how clear and easy to read Stefan's signs are in his
book, but I do understand  it will be easier with an English translation. I
am lucky Henk knows German and I am working with a German dictionary beside
me. From German into Dutch, from Dutch into English. How about that eh
(Canadian)
L.I.F.E.
Have fun,
Tini.
