We didn't know it then, but Rotraud was already feeling the effects of
the cancer on this trip. Her back and legs had given her some
difficulty with the flight . . .
. . . We
all attributed it to the strain of getting in the late harvest of the
grass on the farm so they could make this trip on schedule.
