Somehow I keep showing up in the media....

(All articles shown with permission.)

My first appearance in radio was a spot from Jochen Marmit, Saarländischer Rundfunk.  At the end of 2011 he did a radio report entitled "Good Morning K-Town.  Die amerikanische Seite der Pfalz".  It appeared first on Dec 10th, 2011 in SWR2 Rheinland-Pfalz "Kultur aus dem Land: Feature" and then again on Dec 17th, 2011 in SR2 KulturRadio "FeatureZeit".  I was one of many people interviewed with the main interest on 1.FCK.

I gave my presentation "Der 1.FCK Stammbaum...was ist beweisbar?" for the first time at this 1.FCK Fan Region Meeting in Rodalben.  Since then I have presented it several other times and been involved in several events:

13. Feb 2012:  1. FCK Fan Region Südwestpfalz in Rodalben

4. Jun 2012: "Jahr der Begegnung - Kultur trifft Sport" in the Museum

3. Jul 2012:  1. FCK Fan Region Kaiserslautern/Sickinger Höhe in Krickenbach

5. Jul 2012:  100-Jahre FV "Olympia" Ramstein

19. Jul 2012:  Kolpingfamilie mit Norbert Thines Besuch ins Museum

6. Aug 2012:  1. FCK Fan Region Lautre ins Museumsloge

29. Okt 2012:  1. FCK Fan Region Nahe/Hunsrück /Mosel in Monzingen

After my presentation for "Kultur-trifft-Sport", the local newspaper contacted me to do a story.

The newspaper article got the attention of the TV people, and they filmed a 3 minute spot on me.

In December 2012 Die Rheinpfalz printed a picture of a game in an old stadium on Betzenberg and asked readers to tell them when the game took place.  They got so many different answers from the 1920s through 1950s that they called me to help.  I did some quick research, and the result was this article at the start of the new year.

I do honorary work for the Southwest Football Federation (SWFV).  We meet  every so often and  I proposed that we meet in the 1.FCK Museum one time, That meeting occurred in January 2013.  The result was this article in the SWFV Magazine.

I showed up in the stadium magazine again two weeks later.  I attended a Rolling Devils wheelchair basketball game, and along with ex-1.FCK President, Norbert Thines, and Ralf Siebert, Initiative Leidenschaft, we accepted some super fine items for our Museum.

For the away game against Energie Cottbus on 29. Apr 2013, the TV sport channel, Sport 1, did a spot on our museum.  I was interviewed and turn up in the online report for their "Fan Botschafter".  The TV appearance was also reported in the stadium magazine.

In Dec 2013 the draw for the World Cup 2014 in Brazil resulted in the USA being placed in a group with German.  Bundesliga.de was looking to do a story on Americans & 1.FCK and contacted 1.FCK for help.  The press department passed them on to me and the result was an interview by Tobias Schaechter that appeared on the Bundesliga.de website on 26. Dec 2013.  You can see the full article here.

On March 11th, 2014, I gave a presentation for the Verein "Pfälzische Sportgeschichte e.V." at the Sportbund Pfalz, titled "Die Vereinsgeschichte - ein spannendes Forschungsgebiet".  It was an historical review of the ties between several Kaiserslauterer Sport Clubs (TSG, 1.FCK, VfR) and a look at when TSG first played soccer.
