We mourn the loss of our founding member and 1st chairman Gerhard Schlaich.
He shaped our club in his inimitable way. With his creative ideas, new flag techniques and flag games were created. His choreography to any type of music is second to none. He carried the flag of his city of Constance far into the world and whoever recognized it shouted a cheerful "Ho Narro" at him. Gerhard Schlaich was able to infect everyone, young and old, with his passion for flag-waving. He was a visionary who managed to combine history and tradition that were close to his heart.
Gerd, we thank you.
You shaped us, taught us everything, trained with us, won and lost, laughed and cried. We will miss you.
He's leaving - the vision remains, we'll continue in his spirit and as he always said:
"Flag up!" |
