Sorry, confusion.  I was looking for something a little more detailed
about where, near Frankfurt you lived.  I  have a current friend in
Fechenheim and in the past visited the area from Mainz to Darmstadt 
(even as far out as Würzburg) quite frequently.  Of course, that was
as much as 50 years ago.  :-)
