Later Kapitän zS von BÜLOW pushed several Members aside to sit next to KAY COOPER (161-LIFE-1986), telling her that she was the; “Lovliest blossom on the most beautiful rose in all Germany.” Yes, Kapitän zS von BÜLOW was a gentleman of the highest order, and he was a very strong supporter of Sharkhunters. |  |
