History

Back Next

Alfred is still active in the glass world, visiting other glassblowers.




Even now, he is still in contact with employees of Blumenau, it does not let him go. He still reads the newspaper daily and occasionally cuts out something. Ilona Jochmann no longer comes to visit but is still in contact with him. She regretted it, but Alfred had become so paranoid that it was impossible to continue. He accused her, for instance, of stealing a bottle opener. Among other things, she sends him a packet of his favourite tea.





Alfred is no longer walking so well and engages a friend who visits him daily and does his shopping for him. For example, he goes to the bank to get money. Alfred informs the bank by telephone how much they have to give. To relieve Hofman, his friend, a little, he buys him a bicycle so that he doesn't have to do everything on foot.




Health

His health deteriorates more and more until he finally dies at night.
