Annasbro,I believe it to be "Law Enforcement" and "Box From Hell"Annasbro said:OK, Help me here guys - define LE and BFH - Thanks
We started calling it the BFH because George's papers (which is what it contains) were like something out of Ghostbusters.RobinH said:Annasbro,I believe it to be "Law Enforcement" and "Box From Hell"
Annasmom, how touching and how telling. I believe God gives us signs when He thinks we needs them. How much clearer could that message be?? Keep keepin' the faith. She'll be home when she is supposed to be. Until then we continue to search. Hugs to you.Annasmom said:I want to tell you about Anna's music box, which I found with her stuff last week. It has been rusted up for many years and wouldn't play. I decided to see if I could fix it, so I took out the mechanisim, put it on a newspaper and sprayed it with WD40. All at once, it began to play and to crawl across the newspaper (because the wind-up key was moving). Now I have it completely repaired and back together. This is the song it plays:
Auf Wiedersehn,
Sweetheart
Lyric by John Sexton
and John Turner
Auf Wiedersehn, auf Wiedersehn,
Well meet again, sweetheart.
This lovely day has flown away;
The time has come to part.
Well kiss again like this again;
Dont let the teardrops start.
With love thats true, Ill wait for you,
Auf Wiedersehn, sweetheart.
(1949, Berlin, 1951 USA)
Interestingly enough, the detectives we met with today are some of the "lurkers". They have been checking up on what we have accomplished here in their preparation for our meeting. They are real pros!laini said:I know there are many "lurkers" here like myself who check here daily for anything new.![]()
Now how cool is that! I personally don't like the word lurker--too many negative connotations for me. I consider myself more like a member of a very special "Greek Chorus". I follow this thread daily and have contributed some thoughts and speculation in the past when a good idea had the audacity to pop into my otherwise feeble brain. I wish I had the talents that many of you have in conducting the research that's brought so much information to light in Anna's story. I can't tell you how impressed I am with you, Doogie, and all of the talented sleuthers on this board including especially SherlockJr, Shadow, itsreenw, christine, and so many others that I can't remember at the moment (it's that feeble brain thing holding me back again...).Dr. Doogie said:Interestingly enough, the detectives we met with today are some of the "lurkers".

I have a fireman friend who recently ran a supermarathon, 100 miles in 29 hours. When I asked him how he could do such a thing, he said "you just put one foot in front of the other and keep going." Really, WebSleuthers, this is all I have done, and I can't take any credit for anything. On the other hand, you should all feel really good about all the brainstorming you have done, the time you have put in, the support you have shown us, your interest, good wishes and prayers. As for finding answers, you cannot imagine what a comfort it is to me to know that we have looked and are still looking at every possibility. If all we get from this search is the knowledge that we've left no stone unturned, then at least I'll know that we ran the supermarathon, whether or not we did it in record time.Jodibug said:I am so thrilled for you both that the meeting went so well. It is amazing that you have gotten LE to take an active interest in this case again! Annasmom, I hope you will find the answers soon.
Your not fooling me - those are all of your old girlfriends checking up on you.Annasbro said:...To my surprise I recently saw that over 90 people had viewed my profile recently. There had previously been only 5 viewings over the past several years before I posted the announcement...
Dr. Doogie said:The last year of work that we have done has now culminated in this meeting. It has always been my hope that we could find enough information to allow LE to justify spending the time necessary to solve this mystery. Today, that wish came true. Thank you, WS, for getting us to this point!
Hell, I use only my thumb and two fingers already without a broken hand! LOL!mjak said:I fell and broke, my hand/wrist (right one) which has left me
unable to type much. I can now use my thumb and two fingers good enough to get back online and do more posting. I trully believe that with Doggie leading the way Anna will be brought home.

Thank you Natasha-Cupcake for your acknowledgment. It doesn't matter if you post once a month or everyday, we are all in this together and we will all share the joy the very moment we read on here that Anna has been found. :clap: to everyone that posts, reads or otherwise supports the search for Anna.natasha-cupcake said:Now how cool is that!
