Dear members, dear friends,

A time ago some of our society met with the Consul General of the USA, Mr. Fletcher Burton, to ask him to support our goals and our society. We presented him with a book by Count von Luckner "Seeteufel erobert Amerika" written about the Good-Will-Mission in the 1920's and describing that the Count among others became an honorary citizen of San Francisco.

Now we have received an encouraging letter from Mr. Burton.

From now on we are allowed to refererence Mr. Burton to help us in research or other matters. He officially supports our society what means that we got the U.S. Government at our side, a great success,  I think!

We appreciate Mr. Burton's support and hope it will open some doors to new contacts in the US or in other countries.

Let us see if we can get a similar support by the governments in Australia or/and New Zealand. Has anyone got an idea how we could get this done?

Best ever,
Matthias J. Maurer
