Bruno and I were childhood friends in Prague. During my 6th birthday party, other girls and I teased Bruno about being a year younger than we were. Bruno's quick retort was, "When I get older, I'll catch up with you!"

I didn't remember this incident, but my mother recounted it to me years later. Speaking of my mother, she painted a portrait of Bruno as a child with his mother while in Prague. The painting is still on display at Wanda's house.
