In Detroit the family got a new addition with the Europa who started her life in the two car
garage of our house. Social contacts centered around the process of building the plane.
Fortunately other builders lived nearby.
Thomas Scherer
Thomas Scherer, 39 years old, born and raised in Southern Germany, in a little village north of
Stuttgart. At age 2o I entered the German Foreign Service and after a three year training was
sent to my first posting in Tokyo, Japan. There I met Motoe, my wife. Our first son Paul was born
in Tokyo while Peter, the second one, was born during my posting to Detroit, Michigan. With
Paul having two Passports (Japanese & German) - Peter even has three (Japanese, German and
US). In Japan I learned to fly Paragliders in the early 90's. That was the first time I flew actively - the dream had been with me since childhood: A heli-operator in a neighbouring village had filled the air with those flying machines. I always wished to be aboard those Bell 47's when I was little.

Other interest include Computers, Astronomy, Languages (I speak Japanese, some Chinese and Mongolian), Ham Radio, playing Piano and Paragliders. You can download an MP3-encoded version of one of my compositions sung by Mongolian artist "Naran" here.
