Thank you, Lord Jesus, for having answered our prayers 
(Joseph Ratzinger) "Im Menschen gibt es einen größeren Durst – er sucht nach einem Leben, das über seine biologische Sphäre hinausreicht."
Joseph Ratzinger, Benedikt XVI
Translation by Heide and Paul
 Paul with one of his three cardiac physicians
It is my most heartfelt and very profound desire to express my sincere appreciation to my physicians, nurses and medical technicians at Oconomowoc and Waukesha Memorial Hospitals, Wisconsin, for their brilliant professional work in restoring my cardiac health during three difficult, complicated, sophisticated as well as delicate medical procedures from which I am currently successfully recuperating. Thanks be to the Lord our God!
 Paul mightily enjoying being the center of attention of his rehabilitative team of nurses
On the other side of the same coin, it is similarly important for me to thank my many valuable friends the world over for praying for my survival during these five arduous months. As no medical operation is ever without any dismissible risk, I equally thank them for their dedicated, frequent and fervent prayers, which obviously have helped.

The Hegenscheidt-Notthoff-Friedlinghaus Connection or The History of Three Families Glimpses into the Past The Coat-of-Arms of the Battle Clan Doliwa
von Ernst-Seefried (Izydor) Gulgowski-Doliwa Sei uns gegrüsst, geliebter Jesu, unser von Ewigkeit ersehnter Herr. Aus Kaschubien zum Stalle eilen hurtig wir alle und bis zur Erde neigend die Stirn. Warum so arm liegst du in der Krippe und nicht im Bettchen, wie es dir zukommt. Im Stalle geboren, in der Krippe gebettet. Warum mit Ochsen und nicht mit Herren. Wärst in Kaschubien du uns geboren, wärst du auf Heu von uns gebettet. Hättest ein Strohsäckchen, darüber ein Bettchen und viele Kissen, gefüllt mit Daunen. Und auch dein Kleidchen wär nicht so einfach. Aus grauem Fellchen ein weiches Mützchen. Aus blauem Tuche ein Röckchen und ein grünes Warp-Wöppchen, dazu ein Netzgurt würd' man dir geben. Wärst in Kaschubien du uns geboren, dürftest du niemals Hungersnot leiden. Zu jeder Tageszeit hättest Gebratenes, zum Butterbrötchen wodki ein Gläschen. Zu Mittag hätt'st du Buchweizengrütze, mit gelber Butter reichlich begossen. Saftiges Gänsefleisch, mit Speck, Kartoffelmus und Fleck mit Ingwer nicht zu vergessen. Und Wurst mit Rührei gar fett gebraten, darnach der Liebling würd' wohl geraten. Zum Trinken gäb' man dir Tuchler- oder Berent-Bier; könntest dann schwelgen in den Genüssen. Zum Abendbrot hätt'st du schmackhafte Flinzen und zarte Würstchen mitsamt Pieroggen. Wruken mit Ham- melfleisch, Erbsen mit Speck gekocht und fette Vöglein knusprig gebraten. Bei uns gibt's Wildpret, Jesu in Menge. Wäre allzeit für dich wohl bereitet, ganz junge Rebhühnchen und andre Vögelchen, auch fette Täubchen und Krammetsvögelchen. Dort hast du allzeit Mangel gelitten, hier hätt'st du alles im Überfluss. Beim Trinken und Essen, beim Spielen, Erzählen wäre beim Amtmann dein Platz bei Tische. Doch dir genügt schon der gute Wille, unsre Wünsche nimmst du als Gaben. Die Herzen zum Opfer bringen wir dem Schöpfer. Verachte uns nicht, obwohl wir arm sind. Kaszubian Christmas Poem by Ernst-Seefried (Izydor) Gulgowski-Doliwa Translated by Margravine Heide and Margrave Paul Gulgowski-Doliwa We salute you, dearest Jesus, our since eternity expected Lord. From Kaszubia we are hurrying to your stable, bowing our heads with reverent devotion and humility. Why do you have to sleep in a manger instead in a comfortable bed, as you deserve? Born in a stable, bedded in a manger, why are you surrounded by oxen instead by noble men? If you had been born in Kaszubia, you would have rested in a cozy crib of hay, comforted by many down-filled pillows, all placed right on top of a thick mattress stuffed with straw. Even your attire would not have been so humble. A cap of gray soft fur and a fine outfit of blue and green fabric, complete with a fancy sash, would surely have been presented to you. If you had been born in Kaszubia, never would you have experienced the pain of hunger. At any time of the day you could have feasted on fried meat, and with your sandwich a refreshing drink would have been served. For lunch there would be grits, enriched with heated yellow butter, scrumptious goose meat with bacon, mashed potatoes, and many other tasty homemade treats, not to be forgotten. Sausage and scrambled eggs sauteed in beech nut oil, topped with our finest Tuchler or Berent beers for your fullest satisfaction, to strengthen the growth of the Holy Child. At suppertime we would have prepared for you delicately fried potato pancakes, tender sausages, dumplings, mutton, peas with crispy bacon and succulent fowl. Here, dear Jesus, were we live, we are blessed with an abundance of deer, and we would have gladly roasted it for you, as well as tasty partridges, thrush and pigeons. Where you were born, you suffered hardships all the time. Here you would receive everything to your heart's content. Fine foods and drinks, and the pleasure of playing games as well. For conversation you would have been invited to be seated at the table next to our learned magistrate. Still we know, to your grace our good intentions alone will suffice. Our best wishes are accepted, as if they were valuable gifts. We offer our hearts as sacrifice to our Creator. Although impoverished, we do not stand diminished in His eyes.

These Webpages could not offer themselves as eloquently and beautifully, were it not for the sophisticated hands-on skill and inspirational artistic expression of our dear and most appreciated friend Commander Valery Yegorov, GCMS, on whom we gladly bestow our wholehearted gratitude.
