I never thought that in my lifetime I would see the Berlin wall come down. It was an impossible dream. People took death-defying risks to get across the wall. Today you can go to the Checkpoint Charley Museum and you see all of the anguish that people went through trying to cross the wall, it was an impossible dream. Yet it is all history now.
