[willi uebelherr]

Dear Carlo,

many thanks for your information and your link. I will go deeper with my 
reading of your linked texts.

"Asuncion? Maybe you know my friend Roque from Rome."
I know now, very short, a person with the name Roque Vera from the 
HacklabAsu. I am not sure, it will be your friend Roque.

many greetings, willi
Asuncion, Paraguay
