I am 75 y o active geezer. I met a Swiss lady in West Africa while working for a medical/surgical program. We have now lived in the NY area for 40 years. I have visited Switzerland many times for hike, bike and travel. My wife has one sister still living near Basel. We both are currently considering a permanent move after a one year trial. I have been studying German and have some basic French. Wife is French fluent and also Schweitzerdeutch. I will be posting forum questions for guidance shortly. I would welcome any comments, suggestions and advice from forum members. Martin Bernard
