	These two pictures demonstrate the new regulations about passport photos: in the good old days you could look like a human, now just like a statue (or even worse).

Born

1942 in Göfis, Vorarlberg, Austria

Citizen

Swiss (since 1979; Fällanden, ZH). Living in Zürich since 1963, the year when the Lake of Zurich was frozen for several weeks (even trucks could cross the lake).

Education

School of Technology, Bregenz, Austria (matura)

Profession

Starting as mechanical engineer at the drafting board Klaus changed to informatics and from there to the field of technical writing. Since 1960 I write «with limited capitalisation» (this is only an issue in the German language) — gemässigte kleinschreibung.

Family

Wife Inge was a kindergarten teacher until Michael was born 1975. Mirjam was born 1977 and Mathias 1987.

Our name is famous ...

We may be the only family with an own mountain peak (see reference ): «Daube (kanton Bern, bailiwick of Interlaken) 6772 ft. Well known peak in the chain of the Faulhorn. 5km southeast of Interlaken east above Gsteigwiler. North over the small hotel on the Schinige Platte (shiny plate), from where the peak can be climbed within ½ hour. Certainly one of the most beautiful views in the Bernise Highland to the Bödeli, the lakes and the surrounding mountain scene.»

And t here is this beef stew from the Provence: depending on the cook book its called «daube provencale», «daube bourguignon» or «boeuf en daube». In our family we proudly call it «Bourguignon à la daube».
