Hello Arbutus, Don't know Kevin's whereabouts but have seen his brother Stan's name on Classmates.com for VHS. I think there's some contact info on his profile which might lead you to Kevin. I used to live a few doors down from them and hung around with them at times. Kevin's nickname was "Foxy"! Dale Barwick
Hi Dale, I've managed to track down some suspect characters fom the early 60's, namely John Salmela in South America and Dan D'All in Tennesee, and we were all wondering what has become of Kevin "Foxy" German. Good tip on Stan but I suspect Classmates might harvest names from siites like this and not have any real contact info or very outdated. I was a member but quit so I don't think I could access Stan's contact info. Gary Mace Vuctoria, BC
I've also been curious about Kevin's whereabouts. I'm John's sister, and Kevin was over at our place on Richard Avenue often. He could always make me laugh - fabulous sense of humour. The last time I saw him was at John's first wedding, a century ago.\ Someone who also had the same surname signed my Classmates guestbook. I emailed him, asking if he was related, and knew of Kev's whereabouts. Needless to say, no response. Ah well - if anyone hears from him ... Carol Salmela
Hi Carol, Kevin is MIA, John says he last heard of him being in the Toronto area. So far no luck. John tells me he may be in Montreal at the end of May. Maybe he can search out that Kevin dude. Gary Mace Victoria, BC
Good news it appears as though Kevin has been found.. Thanks to Joyce Pedder who managed to find him through a Classmates email exchange with Kevin's brother Stan. I haven't yet had a chance to speak with Kevin but have left a voice message on his answering machine. Will see what happens 99.9% sure he's been tracked down LOL Gary Mace Victoria, BC
Hi, John's son Max here.. He unfortunately passed about 5 years ago by heart attack. We miss him a lot. Feel free to share any stories your have about him, he certainly had a lot of stories. He passed in Brazil, I currently live in Montreal. He loved talking about growing up in Verdun, the good times and the bad.

Hi Gary, the last I heard from Kevin he was living in the Toronto area . I think it may have been Markham but I am not 100% sure of that .
