my picture

My name is Chris Hoefliger and I live in Switzerland.
I was born in December 1950.
I have been married to Christine for more than twenty-two years now and we have two kids, Janine, born in 1982 and Florian, born in 1987.

The four of us live in a terrace house in a small village not far from Zurich.
My, hobbies? well, of course, this is one of them, the latest one. My Web Site, I mean.
Others? Now, let me think ..., my family, skiing, reading, listening to classical music...
Lots and lots of things, same as most other people I guess.

Yep, that's me

You've guessed right again, to be sure. This is me, too, a couple of years younger than I am now. Already kicking wildly, yes, but still with longer dreams and shorter pants, no doubt.
Looking thoughtful and slightly amused, as if to say: Isn't life just too beautiful and ain't I cute? Wait till I'm big enough to raise hell.
Well, I'm boasting, I know. I can't for the life of me remember the occasion when this picture was taken. It's one of a series my daddy took and not all of them are as flattering as this. And it still makes me feel tender when I see the sort of nappies I was obliged to wear in those days.

Chris, young and tender
Chris, still young and tender

Yep, again me. Perhaps politically not quite correct, sure, but such things were of no concern whatsoever in those lucky days. whether to me nor to my dad who kindly took this saucy picture. All in black-and-white. No Kodachrome in those days.
