| | | looking for an old friend [94 year old pianist - Zug]
Hi, this is an odd question yet important for me. I would like to know if you can give me info about a woman i am looking for.
She is originally from Zug and i met her in Zandvoort, near The Hague in the Netherlands, as the second worl war just started. She was an exceptional pianist and by that time was working with a Bulgarian Bussiness man.
By now she should be around 94 years old and so do I. Unfortunely my memory is not giving the name yet, i hope it will come, so for the moment is all the info i can give.
I assume she returned to her home town Zug, and maybe she became known for her musical talents.
Can you give me any leads???
Appreciate very much.

My, some folk have high hopes. Mind you, we've had two of these searches already and in both cases managed to find the person concerned. However, I think looking for a 94 year old, who may, or may not have gone back to Zug seventy years ago is and who most likely has since died, is going to be a hard nut to crack.

These days you might run into 'Datenschutz' - private information is no longer as accessible to the general public.

'Datenschutz' is bit weaker after the person has passed away.
Could it be Cécile Hux? The timeframe and profession match.

That is the beauty of this...if some teeth remain.
I hope to remeber her name...the memory is playing one of its usual tricks.
Thank you anyway for the hopes.
